How to Text on a LG Chocolate Touch

The LG Chocolate Touch is a cell phone designed for use with Verizon's wireless network. Unlike the original LG Chocolate, the Chocolate Touch features a touch screen instead of a slide-out keypad. The Chocolate Touch is capable of sending and receiving text messages, and you can use the on-screen keypad or the Chocolate Touch's handwriting recognition feature to compose your message.

Instructions

1. Press the "Menu Touch Soft Key" in the lower-left corner of your Chocolate Touch's screen. Tap the "Message" icon.

2. Tap "New" and then tap "TXT Message."

3. Tap "New #" to type a phone number or email address to send your text message to, or tap "Favorite" and then "Contact" to pick a recipient from your contact list. Click "Done."

4. Touch inside the text input field to bring up the on-screen keypad and type the body of your message. To change the on-screen keypad to the handwriting recognition field, press "Pen." Tap "Done" when you're done composing your message.

5. Tap the "Send" button on your touch screen.

Tips & Warnings

• Short Message Service text messages are limited to 160 characters. If you compose a message longer than 160 characters, it'll be broken up and sent as a series of messages instead.

• Be sure that your wireless plan includes text messaging before sending a text with your Chocolate Touch. If your wireless plan doesn't include text messaging, charges may be applied to your bill for each message you send.
