Note: This feature may not be
available in your product due to
your subscription .
Instant messaging (IM) (network service)
is a way to send short, simple text
messages to online users, delivered over
TCP/IP protocols.
Before you can use instant messaging,
you must subscribe to the service. To
check the availability and costs, and to
subscribe to the service, contact your
network operator or service provider,
from whom you also receive your unique
ID, password, and settings.
To set the required settings for the
instant messaging service, see
Connection settings in “Access the
instant messaging menu,” p. 34.
The icons and texts on the display may
vary, depending on the instant messaging
service.
While you are connected to the instant
messaging service, you can use the other
functions of the phone, and the instant
messaging conversation remains active
in the background. Depending on the
network, the active instant messaging
conversation may consume the phone
battery faster, and you may need to
connect the phone to a charger.
