14 Getting to know your phone
Entering letters and characters
You can enter letters, for example, when you add names
to the phone book, write text messages or enter WAP
addresses.
In addition to the way you normally enter letters in
your phone, using multitap text input, you can use
T9™ Text Input to enter text messages and
e-mail, for example, if the input language you select
supports this. T9 Text Input is a predictive input
method and is a quicker way to write texts.
Input languages
Before you start entering letters, you need to select the
input languages that you want to use when writing.
To select input languages
1. Scroll to Settings, YES , Language, YES , Input, YES .
2. Scroll to the language or alphabet that you want to use
for entering letters and press for each language
you want.
3. Press YES to exit the menu.
When writing, you can switch to one of your selected
input languages by pressing
and then selecting
Language. See “The list of options” on page 16.
Multitap text input
When saving names in the phone book or when writing
WAP addresses, you enter letters using multitap text
input. You press each key as many times as needed to
