"Messaging" then "New message", then in the "To" box just type the first one or two (or more!) letters of the person's name (or surname).

If more than one person matches the letters you typed, it will then give you a list of all matching names.

There are other ways. You could create a contact group called "Favourites", add your most popular names, then select the person from a shorter list than the full address book. (From the contact name, just select "Options" then "Create message").

Or precede your most popular names with a "0" (zero) to bring them to the top of the contact list. My wife is in my phone as "0Wife", for example.

if you press the left scroll button it brings you to the text message page straight away.......on mine at least.

I set the Left Selection Key shortcut to "New Text Message". It helps.

How do you enter letters in the "To" field? Mine only accepts numbers.

Thanks for the replies and it is starting to get easier but i still cant get any contacts to come up in the "To : " field.I enter the first one or two letters and still no list comes up.Any Ideas ?

Hi Haribo, you have to send the message after entering your letters.

Only then will it present the list.
