Initiating an Instant Messaging Session

This section shows you how to initiate an instant messaging session, understand the chat window,
manage instant message sessions, and read and manage stored messages.
You can initiate an instant message in several ways:
Dialer:
• Open the Dialer as described in How to Use the Dialer. As you enter numbers or letters, the list
filters contacts accordingly and displays both a telephony cell and an IM cell when a contact has
an IM name. Select the IM cell and press Start to open a chat window.
• Press the Dial Mode soft key, select the IM option, and start entering the IM name. The Dialer
filters contacts with IM names. Select the contact from this list to open a chat window.
• To start an IM chat with a name that is not in any of the lists, select the IM Name mode and enter
the IM Name (username, or username@domain, or sip:username@domain) into the Dialer. Press
Start to open the chat window.
Message Center:
• Navigate to Messages > Instant Messages to open a list of contacts with recent chats. Select the
contact you wish to open a chat with and press OK or Start to open a chat window for that
contact.
An incoming IM call:
• Accept the call by pressing OK or Start.
Contact Directory:
• Open the Contact Directory and select a contact. Press the Instant Msg soft key to open a new
chat window.
