Predictive Text (commonly called T9)
Make sure to use the predictive text on your cell phone, most new models have T9 - the specification of the predictive text utility. Predictive text is almost flawless in the way it works because it consults a dictionary. So you don't find yourself tapping the same key on your phone 4 times to get the letter 'S'.
You must remember to switch off predictive texts while typing local or native names.
