• Instant messaging
Take text messaging to the next level by experiencing instant messaging (IM)
in a wireless environment. Engage in instant messaging with friends and family,
regardless of the mobile system or platform they are using (like the Internet),
as long as you all use the same IM service. Check with your wireless service
provider for availability.
Before you can start using IM on your phone, you must first subscribe to your
wireless service provider's text messaging service. GPRS network service is required
to use instant messaging. You must also register with the IM service you want to
use. See "Register with an IM service" on page 31 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.
Register with an IM service
Before you can use IM, you must register with an IM service to obtain an IM
user name and password. You can obtain an IM user name and password by
registering over the Internet (using your computer) with the IM service provider
you have selected. 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 IM services, contact your wireless service provider.
