The system is already somewhat familiar to anyone who enters the letters of a name when checking a bank balance or looking up someone in a company's phone directory over the phone. Originated by Tegic Communications, the T9 system has been licensed for use by over 20 mobile phone manufacturers. T9 is often be used in combination with the Short Message Service (SMS) and the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP).
