15. Instant messages (IM)
Note: This feature may not be available in your product due to your subscription (network service).
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. 91. 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.
