Using the Instant Messenger (IM)

Using the Instant Messenger (IM)
Your phone's messenger enables instant messaging (immediate message
transfer, chatting). The phone supports the XMPP messenger (Jabber).
Instant messaging refers to communication between "friends" on the Internet.
Subscribers exchange short messages, which are forwarded immediately. This
results in a flowing "conversation" similar to chatting.
The prerequisite for this form of communication is that both subscribers have
a connection to the message server of the same instant messaging provider.
Therefore, both subscribers must be "online". The message server forwards the
messages to the recipient.
The subscribers to instant messaging are called buddies.
Most message servers allow you to create Buddy lists. You can store the bud-
dies you want to chat to in the Buddy list.

sage server.
