• PREDICTIVE TEXT INPUT
Predictive text input allows you to write messages much faster than the
ABC mode. With predictive text input, you only need to press each number
key once for each letter. Your phone uses a built-in dictionary to predict

dictionary.
For example, to write Nokia with the English dictionary selected, press:
(for N) (for o) (for k) (for i) (for a)
The display shows the above words for each key pressed.
Since the displayed word changes after each key stroke, disregard the
word until you have keyed in all the characters.

• ABOUT VOICE MAIL
Voice mail is a network feature that allows callers to leave a voice
message for you when you are not able to take the call.
To use voice mail, you must have:
• A voice mail subscription
• A voice mailbox number
• A temporary password
These items are assigned by your service provider. Your service provider
should also tell you how to record a greeting for your voice mailbox and
how to change the temporary password.
After you obtain this information from your service provider, you must
then save the voice mailbox number to your phone.
Voice mail indicators
When you receive a voice message, your phone lets you know by beeping,
displaying an icon on the screen, or showing a text message. The method
of notification depends upon your carrier.
Additionally, if you receive more than one voice mail message, your phone
may display the number of messages that you have received. Finally, if you
subscribe to two different phone lines, the message would indicate the
line to which the message was addressed.
Note: If you have difficulty using the voice mail feature, contact
your service provider.
You can insert special characters called “dialing codes” into phone
numbers such as voice mail and then save the number to a 1-touch
dialing location. Dialing codes instruct the receiving system to pause,
wait, bypass, or accept the numbers that follow them in the dialing string.
See “Use special characters” on page 36.
Note: Each voicemail service can vary. The examples and steps that follow are
11
for clarification. Check with your wireless provider if you have specific
questions about your voicemail service.
Write down some information
1 Write down your voice mailbox number.
2 Call and check your voicemail as you normally would.

Notes about voice memos
• You have about 180 seconds, but the maximum length of the memo
[ 69 ]
depends on available memory.
• There are three audio cues to indicate the recording status to both parties
in an active phone conversation. The start tone plays when recording
begins. A recording tone plays every 5 seconds while the conversation is
being recorded. An ending tone signals the end of the recording.
• When the recording tone starts to beep every 2 seconds, you only
have 10 seconds left for your voice memo.
• If the memory is full when you try to record a new voice memo, No space for new recording appears on the screen. You have the choice
to erase an existing voice memo to free up space for the new recording.
• USE VOICE DIALING
Your phone’s voice dialing feature allows handsfree operation while you
11
place a call. Before using this feature, you need to create entries in the
phone book so you can associate a "voice tag" with a name and number.
Add a voice tag to a phone book entry
To create entries in the phone book, see “Save names, numbers, and e-mail
addresses” on page 41.
1 At the Start screen, scroll to the name you want to give a voice tag.
2 Press Details, then Options, and scroll to Add voice tag.
3 Press Select. The phone displays Press Start, then speak after tone.
4 Press Start.
You will hear several beeps, and Please speak now appears. If you’re
using the headset, release the button.
5 Speak clearly into the microphone.
Note: Do NOT press Quit unless you want to cancel the recording.
The phone automatically stops recording, then saves and replays the voice
tag.
[ 70 ]
If the recording is not successful, your phone displays Voice system error.
Press Options, scroll to Add voice tag, and repeat steps 3 - 5.
Warning: Do not rely only on a voice tag for dialing emergency
numbers. In emergencies, stress causes changes in your voice,
which may keep the phone from recognizing the command.
Notes about voice tags
• Voice tags are not language dependent. Any clearly spoken word or
phrase can serve as a voice tag.
• It’s easier for the phone to differentiate between long, unique voice
tags. For example, you may want to record a person’s first and last
names rather than only the first name.
• Voice tags must be shorter than 2 seconds.
• Voice tags are sensitive to background noise. For best results, record
them in a quiet environment.
• If you delete a name, any associated voice tag is also deleted.
• The recording process stops automatically. Pressing Quit cancels the
recording.
• You can record voice tags while the h eadset is connected. Simply speak
clearly into the headset microphone when prompted.
• You cannot use the voice tag or voice dialing feature if you are actively
sending or receiving data using the GPRS connection.
