Online services
Online services are customized services offered by 
network operators, independently of mobile phones 
and mobile phone manufacturers. A SIM card which supports
 Online services works 
in the same way as a normal SIM card. When you have 
inserted your SIM card and turned on your phone, your 
network operator can download data to your SIM card. 
When you restart your phone after the first data 
download, a new submenu appears under the menu.
To enter your new menu system
Scroll to  Connectivity, Online services .
Note:  This menu only appears if your SIM card 
supports this service. Some operators may not use 
the name “Online services”. Your phone may not 
support all of the services offered.

Entering letters
You can enter letters, for example, when you add 
names to the Phonebook, write text messages or 
enter WAP addresses. Apart from the way you normally enter letters 
in your phone, using multitap text input, you can 
use T9™ Text Input for entering text messages and 
e-mail, for example, if the input language you select 
supports this. T9
™Text Input is a predictive input 
method and is a quicker way to write texts. See 
“T9™ Text Input” on page 14.
