Get acquainted with your mobile phone keypad, if you're totally new to text messaging. Numbers 2-9 are each associated with a set of three/ four letters in alphabetical order. Number 1 is for punctuation and/or symbols (like emoticons), and number 0, star (*) and the pound sign (#) have other functions, such as capitalization, forward (moving onto the next letter, or putting a space between words), or more symbols.
1. Use predictive text (T9, iTap, or Word). If your phone has this kind of feature, turn it on. You can usually do this by going to the messaging settings menu on your phone. Look for "input method" or "default edit mode" and choose "predictive". If you've already gotten somewhat used to non-predictive texting, you'll encounter a little bit of a learning curve. Experiment. With predictive text, you press the number on the keypad once for the desired letter, and the phone will guess at which word you're typing and fill it in. If you have to backspace (press clr) too often, then maybe you will not like it.
o For instance, to type "wikihow" press: 9-4-5-4-4-6-9. If the word that the phone has chosen is incorrect, then pick out the correct one. Some phones will give you a menu, and you can scroll down and select one, while on other phones, you press the star (*) key or another key until the correct word appears. On some phones it may even be the "0" key. Check your mobile phone manual.

In some cases, the phone will guess your word before you even finish typing it. If your phone is equipped with iTap, for example, you can type three characters, and choose from the words offered. Scroll right to highlight the correct one and press the direction key up to select it; the phone will fill it in and add a space so you can immediately begin on your next word.[1]
o If you use predictive text, proofread your message! Sometimes the phone guesses incorrectly and you could end up writing something nonsensical or worse, inappropriate. For example, you might've meant to write "I'm doing html" but predictive text might fill in "I'm doing hunk" and your boss or co-worker might get concerned. Words that result from the same combination of numbers are called "textonyms".

Know when, and when not to use the forward key. If you don't have predictive texting, you have to press a button once to type the first letter it represents, twice to get the second letter, three times to get the third, and so on. After you've passed all the letters, you can type the actual number; then it goes back to the first letter. These taps have to be in succession. If you press the number 2 quickly and repeatedly, you'll see the printed letter change as follows: a, b, c, 2, a, b, c, 2, etc. So the problem is that when you need two or more letters from the same group, your phone might get confused. If you want to type "bat" for example, you'll need 22-2-8. But what if your type all the 2s in succession? You'll get a "c" instead of "ba". So when you are typing two letters that use the same number key,use the forward key between them. The forward key usually has a symbol that looks like a square "u" (|__|). Otherwise, the only time you should be using the forward key is between words. To write "bats are cool", for example, you would press: 22_287777_277733_222666_666555 (each underscore represents the forward key).
o On Nokia phones, instead of the forward key (which inserts a space) use the "up" or "down" key.

Learn the TXTing language. It's basically electronic shorthand. Read How to Understand Chat Acronyms. To shorten your texting time, you don't need to memorize many, just the basic words that you use a lot:
o to/too = 2
o for = 4
o you = u
o your/you're = ur
o are = r
o be = b
o be right back = brb
o talk to you later = ttyl
o tonight = 2nyt
o see you later = c u l8r
o take care = tc
o goodnight = gudnyt
o peace = (-<)
o heart/love = <3
o nothing much = nm
o just chillin = jc
o never mind = nvm
o right = ryt/ rite/ ri
o probably = prbly/ prob
o I don't know = idk
o ta ta for now = ttfn
o back to homework = bthw
o what = wat/ wut/ ?
o what's up = sup
o just wondering = jw
o just kidding = jk
o best friend forever= bff

Store your most common phrases as templates. Some cell phones will even keep a list of your most commonly used phrases or words. When you're texting, check the options menu. Look for "templates". Sometimes there are built in templates, and you can also create your own. Common phrases include:
o What are you up to?
o Just checking in...
o Where are you?
o I'll be right there.
o I'm running late.
o Let's catch up soon.
o Hey, what's up?
