6.3. SENDING SMS MESSAGES
6.3.1. New messages
By entering the SMS main menu, you can chose ‘NEW MESSAGE’ to enter a new message. There are
two writing methods: Standard or Fast Text (Eatoni) method. The standard method is the same method
used to enter a name in the phonebook.
The FAST TEXT methode is a Letterwise predictive text method which means that the software will pre-
dict the next character to be typed. This method requires less key press to form words/sentences than
the standard method.When the FAST TEXT predicted letter is not the character you want to type, you
can use the ‘#’-key to select a other character.
For example: when you want to enter the name ‘LUC’
Eatoni method:
Tap 5 once for ‘L’
Tap 8 and then ‘#’-key to select ‘U’
Top 2 once for ‘C’ (FAST TEXT method immediately predicts the letter ‘C’)
Total keystrokes required = 4
Standard method:
Tap 5 three times to select ‘L’
Tap 8 two times to select ‘U’
Tap 2 three times to select ‘C’
Total keystrokes required = 8
The following characters can be entered for SMS:
