      Yeah, I really miss spelling things out like this. Those were the days.

      Missing the pauses needed to start the next letter sure stumped my translation progress.

        I stuck it into chad:

        Looks like classic phone keypad (T9-style) text 😊

        Decoded message:

        “yeah i really miss spelling things of like this. those were the days.”

        (There are a couple small typos in the sequence—“ov lile” → “of like”)

      I loved this because I was able to text without looking. When T9 was an option I would always turn off. Those indeed were the days

        I typed with T9 without looking. Learned what order the “common button combination” words would be suggested. Still haven’t recovered my WPM from that era.

      My phone had a keyboard because I was just so darn cool.

        Released two years later, expensive as hell, still had a touchscreen. The blackberry was always an option.
