T9 is where you just type out the word by only pressing buttons once.

So if I wanted to say "hello", I would press:

43556

If I wanted to type "lol", I would press:

565


It guesses what you want to say, so you can text faster, because pressing buttons like five times gets irritating.

Phones with keyboards don't require t9word because you have all the letters available to you.

its on all cell phones.

T9™ is a technology built to help assist people typing on cellular telephones. It uses set word lists to try to predict what words people are trying to type, allowing them to easily and quickly move through words with minimal keystrokes. Because of the awkwardness of typing on a small keypad, T9™ was developed to help push texting technologies, which provide a not-inconsiderable source of income for cell phone providers.
