Using T9 ® Mode
T9 Word recognizes commonly used words for the numeric
sequence of key presses and inserts the word into your message.
T9 Word is much faster than the traditional method of text entry
(Abc) and requires only one key press per letter of the word that
you’re spelling.
1. While composing a text message, press the Left soft key,
then select T9Word.
2. For practice, enter the word “Samsung” by pressing each
of the following keys only once:
T9 Word recognizes that the most commonly used word for
the numeric sequence you just entered is “Samsung.”
If more than one word shares the same numeric sequence,
T9 Word pops-up the most commonly used. Press the
Navigation key Up or Down to display other words, if
available.
Note: Press to enter a space. Press to enter a period. These key
functions apply to both T9 Word and Abc modes. (For other symbols,
