■Instant messaging (network service)

You can take text messaging to the next level by experiencing instant messaging (IM) 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" on page 28 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.

To set the required settings for the instant messaging service, see Connect. settings in "Access" on page 28. The icons and texts on the display may vary, depending on the instant messaging service.

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.

Access

To access the menu while still offline, select Menu > Messages > Instant messages. If more than one set of connection settings for instant messaging service is available, select the one you want. If there is only one set defined, it is selected automatically.

The following options are shown: Login to connect to the instant messaging service, Saved conversations to view, erase or rename the instant messages conversations that you have saved during the instant messages session, or Connect. settings to edit the settings needed for messaging and presence connection.
