You can enter letters, numbers, and symbols in
contacts, text messages, and your banner.

Understanding text entry screens

The current text entry mode (and capitalization
setting, when applicable) are indicated by icons.

Text entry modes

There are four text entry modes:

Number mode
Normal text mode
Rapid text entry mode
Symbol mode

Note:

The mode you start in depends on the task you

are doing. For example, when entering a phone
number, you’re in number mode. When entering a
name for a contact, you’re in normal text mode.

Entering numbers

• To enter a number while in

mode, press a

number key once.

• To enter a number while in

mode,

press and hold a number key until the number
appears on the screen.

Entering words letter by letter

Use normal text mode to enter letters.

Press a key once for the first letter, twice for the
second letter, and so on. If your phone is set to
Spanish, French, or Portuguese, accented letters
are available.

Wait for the cursor to move right and enter the
next letter.
