Instant messaging
Instant messaging (network service) allows you to
converse with other people using instant messages, and
join discussion forums (IM groups) with specific topics.
Once you have registered with an instant messaging (IM)
service, you can log into the service provider’s IM server.
Check the availability of IM services, pricing, and tariffs
with your network operator or service provider. Service
providers also provide you instructions on how to use their
services.
To access an instant messaging service you need to save
the settings for that service. You may receive the settings
from the network operator or service provider that offers
the service in a configuration message. You can also enter
the settings manually. See “Instant messaging settings”,
p. 75.
