Entering letters using number keys only?

How do I enter letters using only the number keypad, like on a regular phone?  Sometimes when I call a business, I get their automated directory, and I have to enter a few letters of the person's name using the number keypad.  How do you do that on a Blackberry, without having to memorize that ABC is 2, DEF is 3, etc.???

What type of device you're using? If it's a touch screen (storm) device then you'll be able to do so otherwise you'll have to remember it!

  • I just bought iWorks Serial Number Key over the internet. When I use the key, iWorks tells me the key is invalid!! Please help. (I bought this iWorks from someone in Singapore. I am using it in Malaysia)

    I just bought iWorks Serial Number Key over the internet. When I use the key, iWorks keep telling me the key is invalid!! Please help. (I bought this iWorks from someone in Singapore. I am using it in Malaysia.). Thanks

    Downloaded the Trial version. It still says the serial number key is invalid. On the iWork page where I am suppose to enter the serial number key, the "Go Back" button is always BOLD, but the "Continue" button remains GREY all the time. The "Continue" button remains grey even after I have completed the key entry. I have to type the "Return" key on my keyboard to force enter the key. The message I get is still "Invalid key".
    I have called Apple. The first person helped by asking me to delete certain items in some Folders and it still did not work. I was then connected to a senior person, but I heard over the recording that there were 15 persons waiting on the line. I had to end the call because the wait will take too long.

    Press the SETUP button on your printer's control panel.
    Using the arrows, select DEVICE SETTINGS, press OK.
    Select LAN SETTINGS and press OK.

    Enter your passphrase using the keypad to the right.
    At the screen where you enter your passphrase, in the top right corner of the LCD screen you should see a :1 . This indicates that you are in numeric entry mode. If you press the asterisk key (*) it will switch to :A or uppercase letter mode, pressing asterisk again with switch to lowercase letter mode. To enter a letter in either letter mode, you will press the associated number key to cycle through the available letters. For example: To enter a letter "c", you will press the "2" key three times.
    Press OK when done.
    The LCD screen will say "Connected" if the password is correct.

    If the code you are trying to enter has letters then you are not looking at a serial number.  A serial number only contains numbers - 6 sets of 4 numbers.
    Find your serial number quickly
    You might be dealing with a redemption code.  This is especially so if you purchased it from a store or the like.

  • I can't change font size. It goes only from 1 to 9 and can't enter an especific number.

    I use Mac and for the first time I face this problem... I used to be able to enter the font size lik 32, 48, 96... any number in flash CC I can't. Is there any way I can change this? I looked in preferences and found nothing!

    Hi Agda,
    This is a truncation issue which we are investigating, however the functionality should work as expected as the size filed still has the information that you have entered say if you enter 12 you might see only 1 in properties panel whereas it has the value of 12 and your text on stage should get applied with 12 pt size.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks!

    Keyboard failure. Hopefully you have Applecare. Hopefully it didn't fail after spilling liquid on the keyboard, but if so hopefully you have a separate keyboard (this is an iMac forum) rather than the MacBook you list in your signature.

  • 8900 only number keys are working on keyboard and symbols only showing numbers

    Hi All
    curve 8900 - I turned the handheld off last night and this morning only the number keys are working on keyboard and when I press symbols it only showing numbers. Did i press an unusual key combination? I tried taking battery out and restarting.
    Can anyone help me out?

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    You did not state fully, so I cannot know if you did the battery pull properly (with power ON). Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Best!
