T9 Mode
The T9 predictive text input mode allows you to enter
words easily with a minimum of key presses. As you
press each key, the phone selects a letter that makes up
the word that it thinks you are typing, based on a built-

changes based on the key that you have pressed.

start entering a word by pressing keys
2
to
9
. Press
each key only once for one letter.
The word that you are typing appears in the display. It
may change with each key that you pre s s .
2. Enter the whole word before editing or deleting any
keystrokes.
3. If the word is correct, start entering the next word.
Otherwise, press
0
repeatedly to display alternate
word choices for the keys that you have pressed.
4. Complete each word with a space by pressing the
#
key.
To type words not found in the T9 mode, change the text
input mode to the ABC mode.
