7. Enter letters and
numbers
You use the phone’s keys to enter letters and numbers into your phone.
Note: For text messages and calendar notes, you can use predictive text
input, which sounds complex but is actually simple and fast. This
method is covered in “About predictive text input” on page 78.
• Enter letters
When you want to add new names or when you view
names in the phone book, your phone automatically
switches to the ABC mode. In ABC mode, your phone
displays the icon.
• Press a key once or several times to enter the letter(s) you want.
For example, press the 2 key three times to enter the letter C.
