The beauty of old texting was that you could do it with your phone in your pocket in class without looking at it lol

I had a Nokia phone as my first phone, and moving to a smartphone was so much better I’m glad I don’t have to go back

I actually learned how to T9 text on a old phone of mine. It only had games on it, but it was the only thing I had at the moment. Shout out to the phones that had the flip out keyboards, best phone design ever.

I learnt how to text like this back in 2018 when my parents bought me a little Nokia 3310 2017 edition. I picked it up surprisingly fast for an eleven year old.

That's why I texted slow... no hurry... and I was a kid... so I preferred going to their houses anyways... and it was my dad's phone...

Our brains were wired to count the presses to catch the right letter without looking

T9 texting was also a lot of an easier way to text in class and get away with it

The best thing about T9 was that you could easily send messages in school without looking at your screen, that way you didn't have to risk having your phone taken away

"hi" was so evil. He didnt know that after 66 he had to pause before the 666. Even "hey" would have been easier.

Oh sweet Jesus I remember those days. Shortening our words to single letters wasn’t to be quirky it was necessary especially with the character limits.

Took me the longest to switch to qwerty keyboard. I refused to on my touch screen phones but finally gave in once I got my first smart phone. I still miss T9 daily. Those were the days

On the plus side it took a while to get a response and if someone was texting you they really wanted to talk to you lol

T9 was fucking amazing in the sense that we didn’t even have to look at the phone to full on type and send a text

I miss old texting. Was able to do it in my pocket or under the desk without looking so it still looked like I was paying attention in class.
