Type that into the default android dialler and it has a little easter egg.

I'm proud to say I had to work out each letter slowly. I think I'd really be old if I didn't even have to think about it. Anyone got any more copium?
:-(
Smartphones came out when I was in highschool so I'm not that senior
It was pretty cool being able to tap out a text message while driving or not looking at your phone.

I got really good at T9 texting. I don’t think I’ve ever been able to type as fast as I was able to do that.
Likely because you could, in most normal conversational speaking cases. With T9 you didn’t have to press the number multiple times unless it wasn’t picking up the word you needed but at a high rate of correct predictability, only pressing 10 different buttons would be a lot faster than typing on the whole keyboard. The software being fast enough to keep up is a little less likely compared to modern smartphones but hey, at least you could send a confidently correct text with your phone in your pocket.
