How to Turn on Motorola Predictive Text on a Nextel i880

The Motorola i880, an iDEN phone available on Nextel, Boost Mobile and Southern LINC in the United States, is popular for its push-to-talk functionality, but can also utilize text messages, e-mails and data access for constant communication. The i880 does not feature a QWERTY keyboard, but it is capable of using an advanced text input system called T9 Text Input to predict words and make typing on the phone a more efficient process using the ten number keys.

Instructions

1. Open any screen that allows you enter text, like the "Compose New Message" screen.

2. Press the menu key. The menu key is directly to the left of the left navigation key, which is directly to the left of the "OK" button.

3. Scroll to "Word" mode and press the "OK" button. A check mark should appear by your selection.

Tips & Warnings

• If the phone predicts the wrong word, you can press the 0 key to cycle through the available choices.
