What is predictive text?

Getting Started

Téacs can be installed on the vast majority of phones, and won’t interfere with any of your phone’s existing text entry methods.

  1. Visit http://wap.teacs.ie/en using your phone’s WAP or web browser.
  2. Follow the instructions that appear.
    Téacs itself is free, but there may be a network charge for you to download it, depending on your network provider and contract.
    • If you’re asked to select an access point, you should choose whichever one your network provider recommends.
    • If you’re a Vodafone customer, choose Vodafone live! as your access point. See here for details on how much this costs.
    • If you’r not a Vodafone customer, feel free to visit your network provider’s web site to determine which charges, if any, apply.
  3. Open Téacs on your phone the way you’d usually open a game or Java application.
  4. In the unlikely event that you experience a problem whilst downloading Téacs
    • Clear the cache in your phone's Internet browser using your browser's options menu.
    • Power off and then power on your phone.
    • Check whether your phone is compatible and its expected performance in the Compatible Phones tab.
    • Email feedback@teacs.ie if you still experience difficulty.
  5. Help is available on your phone on each screen by selecting the Cabhair option on the menu.
  6. It is a useful idea to put the Téacs application on a shortcut key to access it rapidly. Check with your phone's user manual for details on how to do this.
