Using Speed Dialing
You can store up to 98 numbers in your phone’s speed
dial memory to make contacting friends and family as
easy as pressing a button or two. With this feature, you
can dial speed dial entries using one keypress for
locations 2–9 or two keypresses for locations 10–99.
To use One-Touch Dialing for speed dial locations 2–9:
ᮣ Press and hold the appropriate key for
approximately two seconds. The display confirms
that the number has been dialed when it shows
the name and number of the speed dial.
To use Two-Touch Dialing for speed dial locations 10–99:
1. Press the first digit.
2. Press and hold the second digit for approximately
two seconds. The display confirms that the number
has been dialed when it shows the name and
number of the speed dial.
Entering Text
Selecting a Text Input Mode
Your phone provides convenient ways to enter words,
letters, punctuation, and numbers whenever you are
prompted to enter text (for example, when adding a
Contacts entry or when using email and SMS Text
Messaging).
1. From a screen where you can enter text, press
Options (right softkey) to change the text input
mode.
2. Select one of the following options:
Ⅲ T9(English) to enter text using a predictive text
entering system that reduces the number of
keypresses required while entering a word
(see page 33).
Ⅲ Alpha to cycle through the alpha characters
associated with the letters on the keypad
(see page 34).
Ⅲ Symbol to enter symbols (see page 35).
Note Speed dialing is not available when you are roaming.
When you are roaming off the Sprint National
Network, you must always dial using 11 digits (1 +
area code + number).
