2.3  Phone Pad

Phone Pad is a Soft Input Panel (SIP) application that provides a flexible alternate input 

method. With it, you can easily switch among three input modes (T9, Multi-Tap, and 

Numeric) plus a Symbols menu, with greater convenience. 

Using Phone Pad

Phone Pad can be activated at any time, except when in the Today screen or when in 

Camera mode. To use Phone Pad, tap-and-hold the Keyboard icon which is shown near 

the lower right corner of your screen, next to the triangular-shaped menu icon. Then 

select 

Phone Pad from the menu to open the Phone Pad input panel.

Using T9 to Input Text

By default, Phone Pad is in T9 mode. It is the easiest and most convenient way to input 

text in English. As you press alphanumeric buttons on the Phone Pad input panel, T9 

tries to automatically match the letters you have selected with the most likely completed 

word.

To type a word: Simply tap on the numeric keypad.
