 Home screen > Center key > scroll to Messages > Center key 
The messaging feature is a great way to communicate 
with individuals or with groups through text messages 
(SMS) and multimedia messages (MMS). You can share 
pictures, video clips, and contacts with other compatible 
phones and to email addresses. You can add a subject 
line, an attachment, or save the text as a draft.
Type a message
To type a message, you will use the main keypad on the 
phone along with the navigation keys.
•   For text (letters) input, press a number key, 2-9, 
repeatedly until the desired character is displayed. If 
the next letter your want is located on the same key, 
wait until the cursor shows again.
•   For numbers 1,2,3... long-press the corresponding key 
to get the number you want.
•   To insert a punctuation mark, a special character, or an 
emoji, press the * key, use the navigation keys to scroll 
to the symbol, and then press the Center key.
•   If you want to delete letters or symbols, press the Back 
key to delete them one-by-one.

•  Use predictive: Using the predictive text mode allows 
the app to suggest a word based on an internal 
dictionary, after you start typing. You can select the 
suggested word or continue typing.
•  User dictionary: Add words that are not recognized 
by the internal dictionary such as nicknames, or other 
unique words, so that the device learns to recognize 
them. 
•  Press the # key: Switch between “Abc > abc >  
ABC > 123 > Predictive” modes once you are in the 
texting screen.
