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 instant messaging 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 instant messaging service.

Before you can start using instant messaging, you must first subscribe to your wireless service provider’s text messaging service and register with the instant messaging service you want to use. You must also obtain a user name and password before you can use instant messaging. See “Register with an instant messaging service,” p. 31 for more information.

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 instant messaging service, see Connect. settings in “Access,” p. 31. 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.

Register with an instant messaging 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 instant messaging services, contact your wireless service provider.
