Entering Text
Various text entry methods make it easy for you to enter names, numbers, and
text messages on your phone.
You can enter all characters (letters, numbers, and symbols) using the standard
tap method. Other text modes let you easily enter numbers and symbols, or insert
text already stored on your phone. Finally, a predictive text mode lets you enter
text messages with a minimum of keypresses.
Choosing a Text Mode
To activate a text mode, press from any text entry screen and select the text
mode from the
Entry Method
menu:
iTAP
Let the phone predict each word as you
enter it, then choose the word from a
list (see “Predictive Text Entry with

Tap Method

pressing the key for the letter, number,
or symbol (see “Tap Method”).
