Predictive text input
Note
: The predictive text feature is based on a built-in
dictionary to which you can add words. Your phone includes
several different language versions of this dictionary. Although
your phone may be able to display a given language on the
screen, it does not necessarily contain a predictive text
dictionary of that same language.
Predictive mode is indicated by the presence of the predictive
text icon (
) at the top of the display. If the icon does not
appear, predictive mode has been deactivated. To activate it,
press
Options
. Scroll to
Predictive text
. Scroll until the name
of the language in which you want to edit your message
appears. Press
OK
.
Writing words
To write a word, press each key only once for each letter of
the word. For example, to write

characters that you enter appear underlined. The word changes
after each keystroke, so try not to pay attention to how the
word appears on the display until you have pressed all the
appropriate keys.
When you finish writing the word, check to ensure that the
word is correct. If the word is correct, enter a space (press
) and write the next word. If the word is incorrect and
is underlined, press
repeatedly until the desired word
appears, OR press

list, then press

to exit and return to the
message editor.

words in the dictionary that correspond to your key presses.
