Using the Wii Message Board

Use the Wii Message Board to:
• Exchange messages with friends and family members.
• Add photos or Mii characters (see Mii Channel, page 6) to your messages.
• Check your console's unique Wii Number.
Your Wii Number is a 16-digit number assigned to your console. Use your Wii Number
to register Wii Friends. (See page 38 to learn how to register a Wii Friend).
The following features require an Internet connection (see Wii Settings and Data
Management, pages 53-61, for more information on Internet connections).
• Send messages to your Wii friends' consoles or e-mail addresses.
• Register Wii Friends in the Message Board Address Book.
You can only exchange messages or use other Internet–based communication with
your Wii Friends.
NOTE: Your ability to send and receive messages on you Wii console is subject to your acceptance of the Wii Users
Agreement, the Wii Privacy Policy and the Wii Code of Conduct. Copies of the most updated versions of these
agreements may be found at support.nintendo.com.
