8 Instant messaging

Take text messaging to the next level by experiencing instant messaging (IM) in a
wireless environment. Engage in instant messaging with friends and family,
regardless of the mobile system or platform (like the Internet) they are using, as
long as you all use the same IM service. Check with your wireless service provider
for availability.
Before you can start using IM on your phone, you must first subscribe to your
wireless service provider's text messaging service. GPRS network service is required
to use instant messaging. You must also register with the IM service you want to
use. See "Register with an IM service" on page 62 for more information.
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.

• IM SERVICE PROVIDER ICONS

Since each IM service has its own display text and icons associated with it, the
display text and icons on your phone may appear differently for each IM service
provider. If you have any questions about the differences in the various IM service
providers' display text and icons, contact your wireless service provider for more
information. The following table shows examples of IM icons and their
descriptions:
