Traditional text input

Tap a number key (1-9) repeatedly until the desired character appears. There are more

If the next letter is located on the same key as the present one, wait until the cursor

appears (or move the cursor forward to end the time-out period), and enter the letter.
To insert a space, tap 0. To move the cursor to the next line, tap 0 three times.
