USE T9 DICTIONARY TO TYPE SMS QUICKLY ON YOUR MOBILE


T9 stands for ‘Text on 9 Keys’, and usually comes loaded on most handsets to make typing text faster and easier on numeric keypads. T9 is a software that combines a group of letters pressed to check the dictionary for all possible words that can be formed using these key combinations.

For example, to type the word ‘fill’ on your regular mobile phone keypad, you need to press ‘333’ to type ‘F’ then ‘444’ for ‘I’ followed by ‘555’ for the first ‘L’ and ‘555’ again for the second ‘L’. This means 12 key presses to type ‘4’ characters for a mobile message. With T9, you can find out which word you want by pressing any key 4 times. Check your phone booklet for steps to activate ‘T9’.
