I’m not saying people didn’t text with T9. People texted. But most of the people that did use T9 didn’t start using it until the 00s because most people didn’t have cell phones in the late 90s. I’m saying this as someone who texted with T9 and QWERTY in 1999.
And I’m also saying texting didn’t become the preferred method for nearly everyone until the smartphone era, because for many people that had cell phones before QWERTY keyboards despised texting.
You’re combining those two points and are wrongly concluding that I’m saying no one texted on T9.
