Instant messaging

Instant messaging (IM) (network service) is a way to send short, simple text messages
to online users, delivered over TCP/IP protocols. Your contact list shows you when
your contacts are online and available to participate in an IM conversation. When you
have written and sent your message, it remains displayed. The reply message appears
below your original message.
Before you can use IM, you must subscribe to the service. To check the availability
and costs, and to subscribe to the service, contact your network operator or service
provider, from whom you also receive your unique ID, password, and settings.
To set the required settings for the instant messages service, see
in "Access the IM menu," page 33. The icons and texts on the display may vary,
depending on the IM service.
While you are connected to the IM service, you can use the other functions of the
phone, and the IM conversation remains active in the background. Depending on
the network, the active IM conversation may consume the phone battery faster,
and you may need to connect the phone to a charger.
