Message
Your phone is able to send and receive text messages to
compatible phones and other devices. If a text message
exceeds 160 characters, it is broken up and delivered in
separate messages, which incur additional cost. Before you
learn to send text messages, it’s best to cover the basics of
composing a message using the various text entry modes of
T9 word
,
Abc
,
Symbol
, and
123.
Note:
Available memory is shared between all messages. You can
store up to 100 incoming and 100 outgoing messages. The
exact number that you can store is dependent upon message
length.
Text entry modes
You can compose text messages made up of alphabetical
characters, symbols, and numbers. Each method of character
entry (symbol, number, etc.) is called a text entry mode.
There are four such entry modes as indicated in the following
table:
Text Entry Mode Function
ABC
Alphabetical text entry mode. Options are:
ABC - All uppercase
Abc - Initial caps
abc - All lower case
Symbol
Symbol entry mode. Enter symbols into your
message by pressing the corresponding
number that appears above it in the display.
123
Number entry mode. Enter numbers by
pressing the corresponding key on the keypad.
T9 word
Predictive text mode. Press each key only once
to enter the letter of the word that you’re
spelling.
