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,"
p. 43 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 Connection
settings in "Access," p. 43. The icons and texts on the display may vary, depending
on the instant messaging service.
While you are connected to the instant messaging service, you can use the other
functions of the phone, and the instant messaging conversation remains active in the
background. 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 Instant messages menu while still offline, select Menu > Messaging >
Instant messages (Instant messages may be replaced by another term depending
on the service provider). 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.
