Using Buddy Lists

Note	Monitoring the status of contacts in a buddy list is an optional feature that your
	system administrator enables, and your system may not support it.

A buddy list is a list of users/devices whose status—or presence—you can monitor. Your contacts update their presence setting, such as Be right back, Out to lunch, or Busy, and you can view their status in real time from your phone’s Buddy Status screen. If you like, you can block others from monitoring your status.

Updating Presence Settings

Your presence setting indicates your status (either online, busy, be right back, away, out to lunch, offline, or do not disturb). Update your presence setting so that other users can monitor your status from their phones.

To change your presence setting:

1.Do one of the following:

—Press , and then select Features > Presence > My Status.

or

—From the idle screen, press the MyStat soft key.

The My Status screen displays.

2. Scroll to the status you want, and then press	. The default status is
Online.

3.Press to return to the idle screen.

The following figure shows what the idle screen looks like when you set your status as Busy. If you set your status as Online (the default status), the presence status does not display on the screen.
