Instant messaging

Instant messaging (IM) is a way to send short, simple text messages to friends and family,
regardless of the mobile system or platform they use (like the internet), as long as they all use
the same instant messaging (IM) service. Check with your service provider for availability.
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 wireless service provider and the IM service
provider from whom you receive your unique ID, password, and settings.
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.
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.

Register with an IM service

Before you can use IM, you must register with an IM service to obtain a user name and
password. You can obtain a 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.

Icons and menu items

Each IM service provider has its own unique interface, so the IM menu items, display text,
and icons on your phone may appear differently for each IM service. If you have questions
about the differences in the various IM service providers' text and icons, contact your
wireless service provider for more information.
