    T9 was a rapid entry system for sending texts using a number pad on a phone.

    Instead of doing hello as 44 33 555 555 666 you could do 43556 and it’d predict ‘hello’.

      Holy ahit, someone that ACTUALLY knows what T9 was!

      Most people think that T9 was the method of typing on the telephone keypad, but no its an improvement on that!

      Predictive text was another name for it.

        UraniumBlazer is using contractions such as u instead of you.

        Back in the early days of texting, this saved time, and potentially money as well since you paid for each 144 (or was it 160) characters.

  I was already an adult when T9 was still a thing and never texted like this. I could write out full sentences while my phone was still in my pocket.
