9. 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 register with the instant messaging service you want to use and obtain a unique ID and password before you can use IM. See “Register with an IM service,”p. 25 for more information.

Note: Depending on your IM service provider, you may not have access to all of the features described in this guide and your menus may be different.

To check the availability and costs and to subscribe to the IM service, contact your wireless service provider and the IM service provider from whom you receive your unique ID, password, and settings.

While you are logged in and connected to the IM service, you can exit the IM application and use the other functions of the phone, and the IM session and conversations remain active in the background.

■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 unique ID and password of your choice.
