• REGISTER WITH AN IM SERVICE
Before you can use IM, you must register with an IM service to obtain an IM user name
and password. You can obtain an IM user name and password by registering over the
Internet (using your computer) with the IM service provider you have selected to use.
During the registration process, you will have the opportunity to create the user name
and password of your choice. For more information about signing up for IM services,
contact your wireless service provider.
• BEFORE USING IM
Before you can use the IM feature, your phone must have at least one access
point defined. See "Access points" on page 59. An IM server must also be defined
in your phone:
1 Select Menu > IM > Options > Settings > Server settings > Servers.
2 Select a server from the list, or select Options > New server to define a
new server.
If you need help defining a new server, contact your wireless service provider
or IM service provider.
You must also obtain a user name and password (see “Register with an IM service”
on page 87). For more information about signing up for instant messaging services,
contact your wireless service provider.
