Instant messaging

• USER NAME AND PASSWORD

Before you can begin to use instant messaging, you must obtain a user name and password. You can do this by registering over the Internet (via 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 instant messaging services, contact your wireless service provider.

• LOG INTO SERVICE

The first time you use instant messaging, you will need to enter your user name and password and select the network you want to use, in order to log into the service. After the first login, you will not have to select the network again, unless you want to change it. Every time you log in, you will receive screen prompts for your user name and password. You do not have to manually enter your user name (the user name you entered previously appears on the User ID: screen); however, you must manually enter your password every time you log in. To log in for the first time, do the following:

1Select Menu > IM > Login, then select the network to which you want to connect.

2Enter your user name, select Options > OK, enter your password and select Options > OK.

The IM online menu displays.

Set your availability

You can determine if other users can tell whether you are available or not.
