Instant messaging

Instant messaging (IM) (network service) is a way to send short, simple text
messages to online users, delivered over TCP/IP protocols. Your contact list shows
you when your contacts are online and available to participate in an IM
conversation. When you have written and sent your message, it remains
displayed. The reply message appears below your original message.
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 network
operator or service provider, from whom you also receive your unique ID,
password, and settings.
To set the required settings for the instant messages service, see
settings in "Access the IM menu," page 37. The icons and texts on the display may
vary, depending on the IM service.
While you are connected to the IM service, you can use the other functions of the
phone, and the IM conversation remains active in the background. 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.
