Jim in Anchorage Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 I just bought a cheap pre-paid phone and can't figure out how select letters on the keypad. The instructions say to hold down the key till you get the one you want,but that doesn't seem to work. If for example I press 4ghi I get g and if I continue to hold I get 4 and it stops. How do I get to h?
boyst Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 multi tap. Hit it twice quick. 3 times for I. I can text without looking. I make all the 15 yr olds jealous...and that's on a blackberry with qwerty.

ajzepp Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 I still remember when I asked the very same question about four years ago. Texting was becoming a phenomenon and I had NO fuggin clue how to do it. In fact, I didn't even care about it cause it just seemed purposeless to me. Several years later, I have an iPhone4 and text my ASSSSS off lol
