T9™ Text Input
You can use T9™ Text Input when writing text
messages. The T9™ Text Input method uses a built-
in dictionary to recognize the most commonly used
words for each sequence of key presses. This way,
you press each key only once, even if the letter you
want is not the first letter on the key.
Note:
A language must be selected to be able to use
the T9™ Text Input method. If you change input
method in Settings/Language/T9 input, this is valid
for all input of texts – not only for the text you are
currently writing.
