Is there a way to turn of predictive text completely?

There is a setting that turns this on or off. For that phone it may be called t9 or predictive. to turn it off you go the text entry screen press ABC (bottom left corner, push upper left button)....Scroll to any other option beside T-9 or Itap (that's the predictive text) then press okay.

From another forum:
You may choose the 'input method' between 'Moto Input Method' and 'Multi-touch Keyboard'. Please visit 'settings' followed by 'Language and Keyboard Settings' and choose the one which makes it easy for you.

Hi there:
- Press "#"
--Once for "Numbers"
--Twice for "Wild Characters"
--Three times for "Non-Predictive Text"

Also I suggest check this link, To switch to another text mode on RAZR watch chapter 11 of a HandBookLive RAZR v3 video http://tinyurl.com/cchrjk.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

when you open up to write a text message..before you type click on the menu botton,youll see the choice's..click on entry mode then go to the secondary choice

go to sattings then find language click on it predictive text off

- Press "#"

--Once for "Numbers"
--Twice for "Wild Characters"
--Three times for "Non-Predictive Text"

go to create a message, then press the - key, go into entry setup then change primary to TAP. this then enables the function you require.
Happy Texting

try holding either the *key or the #key until the t9 goes away,

go to your messages... then choose message setting... look for default text input and just choose iTap (i think???) just play around with your message setting...

Go to Settings->Other->Text Input->Personal Dictionary or Word Completion. If you have Personal Dictionary enabled, any predictive text words you've used in the past are still stored. With Word completion on, your Razr is auto-completing words from the Personal Dictionary. If you like to type the words in yourself, letter by letter, just turn these settings off. You can also want to reset your Personal Dictionary.
