Re: Texting
I hardly use my mobile phone but there have been times when it has been very useful. A break down on a dark, country road, a delay of two hours at a train station are two occasions that spring to mind. Mine is very basic, not smart at all...... it was a hoot when the OH got one! He grumped and raged around the house until Our son in law gave him a crash course.

Re: Texting
Well - I have just spent 10 mins trawling through the MENU on mne - and cannot find where to switch off the predictable text. I know it can be done - did it when I bought the thing - years ago - can't remember how and can't find the manual either. Looks like throwing it at the wall (or the cat - he's good with techy stuff) maybe the only answer. Unless, of course, I take BowieEyes advice - in which case will someone, please, send me a file with a cake in it if I am arrested?07-03-2014, 08:57 AM

Now, to select another 'writing method' press and hold the key that shows these symbols. *a/A.
That is about all I can tell you for your phone. You could look at the manual online too. I found it immediately. Good luck.

I just had a quick look too ST and it said to hold down the hash key UNTIL the symbol changes. So its no good just pressing it and letting go apparently. Worth a try anyway.
