That's Romaji input for computer keyboards. Not cell phones.
Cell phones use the "1" button for typing "a, i, u, e, o", and "2" button for "ka ki ku ke ko" and so on. Transforming it to Kanji uses a rather sophisticated Kana-Kanji transform program, based on built-in dictionaries and past user inputs.
You'll have to see it to belieave it, but the typing speed of those Japanese Highschool kids are VERY FAST, using only their thumb.
