The LG Classic Flip is a basic flip phone released by Tracfone in 2020. With its small 2.8-inch screen and Quad-core processor, it runs a streamlined version of Android 8.1 focused on core functions like calling and texting.
But for those used to smartphone keyboards, texting on the LG Classic Flip’s T9 keyboard can take some getting used to. So where is the crucial shift key located?
What is the Shift Key?
The shift key is one of the modifier keys found on most computer and phone keyboards. Pressing the shift key allows you to access alternate characters like uppercase letters or symbols.
For example, pressing the shift key plus the letter “A” types an uppercase “A” rather than the default lowercase. The shift key is an essential part of typing and accessing special characters.T9 Keyboard on the LG Classic Flip
Rather than the full QWERTY keyboard found on most smartphones, the LG Classic Flip features a numeric T9 keyboard.
This stripped down keyboard layout consists mainly of numbers 0-9 plus a few additional buttons like the asterisk (*) key. To type letters, you press a number key multiple times to cycle through the associated letters.
The Shift Key Location on the LG Classic Flip
So on the LG Classic Flip’s T9 keyboard, where is the crucial shift key located? The shift function is built into the existing asterisk (*) key.
By pressing this key, you can access uppercase letters and special symbols associated with the numeric keys. For example, pressing * plus “2” types an uppercase “A” rather than a lowercase “a”.
In conclusion, the * key serves double duty as the shift key on LG’s Classic Flip phone. So whenever you need to access uppercase letters or alternate symbols while texting, be sure to press * first, then the desired numeric key.
It’s an adjustment from full QWERTY keyboards but with a little practice, texting on the T9 keyboard is manageable.
