Cursor

The cursor is a blinking vertical line that appears on the
screen when you are entering text or numbers. Characters
you enter appear to the right of the cursor. Pressing the

key deletes the character to the left of the cursor.

Use the scroll keys to move the cursor to the right or left.

ABC mode

When your phone is ready for you to enter text, such as a
name or message, it switches to ABC mode. The ABC icon
shows that it is in ABC mode.

When ABC is displayed, you can enter these characters by
pressing the indicated key repeatedly:
