Using Buddy Lists

A Buddy list is a list of users whose status or presence you can monitor. Users can update their presence
setting to status such as Be right back, Out to lunch, or Busy, and you can view their status in real time from
your Buddy list. You can also view your buddies' status from the Lines and Home screens, if your buddy is
a favorite.

Add Contacts to Your Buddy List

If you want to monitor other people, you need to make sure they are in your Buddy list. You add people to
your Buddy list from your Contact Directory, so you must first add them to your Contact Directory before
adding them to your Buddy list.
