Begin An Im Session; Receive And Reply To Messages - Nokia 6126 User Manual

• IM online menu
After you log into IM, the following IM online options appear: Conversations, Online
contacts, and Offline contacts. Depending on the IM service provider you are using, these
may not be the exact menu items displayed.
Log in
1. Select Menu > Messaging > IM > and the service you want to log into.
You must select the IM service every time you log in.
2. Enter your screen name and password if they are not already displayed.
3. Select Options > Sign on.
Depending on your IM service, you may not need to enter your user name and password
manually every time you log in.
You can choose to save your password so you do not have to enter it each time you sign on,
or you can choose to log in automatically and skip the log in window when you select the IM
application. Scroll to Save password or Auto-Sign On and select Mark.

Begin an IM session

You can send instant messages to anyone if you have the person's user name and you use
the same IM service. As the conversation progresses, the most recent message appears at
the bottom of the window, causing the previous messages to move up one level (some IM
services may do this in the opposite direction).
If you want to chat with a person, you must first add that person to Online contacts. See
"Add a new contact," p. 29.
To begin an IM session, do the following:
1. From the IM online menu, select Online contacts (for example, Buddies).
2. Select a contact who is online.
A conversation window is opened, and the contact's name is displayed at the top of the screen.
3. Enter a message. When you finish the message, select OK.

Receive and reply to messages

If you have an active chat open and receive an instant message from the contact or group
member with whom you are chatting, the new message is displayed on the conversation
window in the sequence in which it is received. Choose Select to reply.
If you receive an instant message when you have the IM application open, but do not have
an active chat open, a message appears showing you have a new instant message with the
name of the sender. Choose Select to open the conversation window with that contact's
new message displayed. To reply, enter a message, and select OK, then Send.
