■ Instant messaging
You can take text messaging to the next
level by experiencing instant messaging
(IM) (network service) in a wireless
environment. You can engage in IM with
friends and family, regardless of the
mobile system or platform (like the
internet) they are using, as long as you all
use the same IM service.
Before you can start using IM, you must
first subscribe to your wireless service
provider’s service and register with the
IM service you want to use. You must
also obtain a user name and password
before you can use IM. See “Register with
an IM service”, p. 35 for more
information.
Note: Depending on both your
IM service provider and your
wireless service provider, you
may not have access to all of
the features described in
this guide.
To set the required settings for the IM
service, see Connection settings in
“Access”, p. 35. The icons and texts on
the display may vary, depending on the
IM service.
While you are connected to the IM
service, you can use the other functions
of the phone, and the IM conversation
remains active in the background.
Depending on the network, the active IM
conversation may consume the phone
battery faster, and you may need to
connect the phone to a charger.
Register with an IM service
You can do this by registering over the
internet 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.
Access
To access the Instant messages menu
while still offline, select Menu >
Messaging > Instant messages (Instant
messages may be replaced by another
term depending on the service provider).
If more than one set of connection
settings for IM service is available, select
the one you want. If there is only one set
defined, it is selected automatically.
