Nokia's and others use the normal phone letter allocations, so to enter
an "h" you'd hit 44 so http would be 44 pause 8 pause 8 pause 7 etc
on Nokia's you can use the 1 key for special characters, though the
7110's also support a scrolling list of characters ...

Smartphones like the Ericsson R320 and R280 (which run Epoc) will have
soft keyboards ...
