New pocketsized cell phone

Got a new pocket sized phone today. My pockets are small and I get few phone calls so once I get settled with a Tracfone, I'm good. But I am not settled yet.  Just typing in credentials takes a long time when I don't know the keyboard and its use.  To make matters more complex and demanding, there are symbols and signs that are required.  It is not easy when I don't know how to make needed symbols and signs. I will get there eventually.
