Entering Text
Selecting a Character Input Mode
Your phone provides convenient ways to enter words, letters,
punctuation, and numbers whenever you are prompted to
enter text (for example, when adding a Contacts entry or when
using Sprint Picture Mail or SMS Text Messaging).
To change the character input mode:
1. When you display a screen where you can enter text,
press the right softkey to change the character input
mode.
2. Select one of the following options:
䡲 Word English to enter text using a predictive text
entering system that reduces the keys that need to
be pressed while entering a word (page 39).
䡲 Multi-Tap to cycle through the alpha characters
associated with the numbers on the keypad
(page 40).
䡲 Numbers to enter numbers by pressing the numbers
on the keypad (page 41).
䡲 Symbols to enter symbols (page 41).
䡲 Word Spanish to enter Spanish text using predictive
text like Word English (page 39).
Tip:
When entering text, press the * (Shift) key to change letter
capitalization (ABC > Abc > abc).
An additional option (Insert Preset Msg) is available when
using messaging. See “Managing Preset Messages” on
page 53.
