then the semicolon appears automatically each
time you add a new contact.

your chosen price plan and options. You are
charged for each person the message is sent to.
entering text using standard text input
To enter text using this mode you press each key
the right number of times to get the letter you
want. So, to get an O you would press the 6 key
three times. For an A you would press the 2 key
once.
Press # for a space. The first letter of a sentence is
automatically capitalised.
The letter entered most recently is underlined until
you have completed the key presses for that letter
and moved on to the next letter. When entering
letters on the same number key, pause after
entering the first letter and wait for the underline to
disappear before entering the next letter.
To increase the speed at which you can
enter text :
1 Press Start, select Settings, and then select
Accessibility.
2 Under Multipress time out, select the time
interval you want between key presses and
press Done.
save time using predictive text input
This uses a dictionary to recognise certain
combinations of letters and predicts the word you
want to write. To enter text using predictive input
you only need to press the key for a letter once.
So, for example, to write the word Orange you
would press 6, 7, 2, 6, 4 and 3. You will see that
the word does not appear on screen immediately –
don’t worry, that’s how it works.
When you have finished pressing all of the keys,
the word should appear on screen.
