Are you stuck with an old LG flip phone and struggling to send text messages? Or maybe you’re an elder who wants to learn how to text message on a flip phone? Whatever the reason may be, we’ve got you covered. In this guide, we’ll show you how to text on a flip phone in no time.
Firstly, you need to flip open your phone and go to your menu. Navigate to your messaging app. On a typical Verizon interface, you will find the messaging option easily. Once you click on it, you will see a ‘New Message’ option. Click on that and you will be directed to a text field where you can type your message.
Now comes the tricky part. You need to carefully observe the keypad on the LG flip phone. You will see the letters A, B, C, D, E, F, and so on. If you want to type “Hi”, you need to press the number 4 key twice to get to the letter ‘h’. Then, press the number 4 key three times to get to the letter ‘i’. Similarly, you need to click on the number key as many times as the number of the letter you want to type.
If you want to type a word like “Hello”, you need to click on the number keys in a specific sequence. For example, to type the letter ‘h’ you need to press the number 4 key once, for the letter ‘e’ you need to press the number 3 key twice, and for the letter ‘l’ you need to press the number 5 key twice. To add a space, press the ‘0’ key.
Another thing to keep in mind is that if you are typing a word that has the same number key for two different letters, let’s say ‘hi’, you need to wait a few seconds or click the space button before typing the next letter. Otherwise, the first letter will be changed to the second letter, which is not what you want.
Lastly, you can also go to your contact list and type a message from there. The process is the same as typing a message from the messaging app.
And that’s it! You are now an expert in texting on an LG flip phone. We hope this guide has helped you.
