Sony 500 User Manual

In cases where text input is possible, you can use the keypad to input text, 
punctuation and special characters in addition to the digits 0 to 9 and the 
hash and asterisk symbols. To do this, press the numerical keys repeated-
ly.

Example: To enter the letter "h", press the number 

4

 key on the keypad 

twice.

Alphabetic labeling of dial keys is also useful when entering vanity num-
bers (letters associated with the phone number’s digits as indicated on the 
telephone spell a name, e.g. 0700 - PATTERN = 0700 - 7288376). 

To enter a digit in an alphanumerical input field, hold down the rele-
vant key.
