What is predictive text?
It helps you write text messages more quickly. For example, instead of pressing the 7 key four times to enter the letter ‘s’, predictive text allows you press the key once only. It then attempts to predict the word you’re typing, based on which keys you have pressed – giving you a choice of words, where several could be created from the same combination of keys. Once you’re used to the system, it makes writing text messages much quicker. Predictive text is found on almost all new mobile phones, and we now consider it a standard feature you should expect of modern handsets. If this feature is important to you, check with your retailer to make sure the handset has it.
