Getting to know your phone 11
Entering letters and characters
You can enter letters, for example, when you add names 
to the phonebook, write text messages or enter web 
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 email, 
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 th e 
input languages that you want to use when writing.

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 13. Multitap text input
When saving names in the phonebook or when writing 
web addresses, you enter letters using multitap text input.
