Instant messaging

9 Instant messaging

Enjoy text messaging by experiencing instant messaging (IM) in a wireless environment. Engage in instant messaging with others, as long as you all use the same IM service. Check with your wireless service provider for availability.

Before you can start using IM on your phone, you must first subscribe to your wireless service provider’s text messaging service. You must register with the IM service you want to use. See “Register with an IM service” on page 40 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.

• IM SERVICE PROVIDER ICONS

Since each IM service has its own display text and icons associated with it, the display text and icons on your phone may appear differently for each IM service provider. If you have any questions about the differences in the various IM service providers’ display text and icons, contact your wireless service provider for more information. The following lists examples of IM icons and their descriptions:
