• PREDICTIVE TEXT INPUT
With predictive text input, you only need to press a number key once for
each letter. Your phone uses a built-in dictionary to predict or guess what
your are writing. You also can add new words to the dictionary.
When the predictive text feature is activated, the icon
is visible
in the text message window.
