Instant Messaging (IM)

Instant Messaging (IM) is a form of real-time communication between two people based on the exchange of short, simple text messages via computer or mobile device. You can see which of your contacts are available to participate in an IM conversation or chat. You initiate a chat by selecting an available contact and sending a message.

Instant Messaging on your Centro is similar to Instant Messaging on your computer. Using the IM application, you can sign on to up to three IM communities, send and receive instant messages, and view contact status information and manage your presence. You can switch among IM communities with a touch of the 5-way.

Messages are billed to the owner of the Centro no matter which IM account you use.
