Presence Settings

A buddy list is a list of users/devices whose status or "presence" you can
monitor. Users update their presence setting (for example, "Be right back",
"Busy", or "Out to lunch"), and you can view their status in real-time from
your phone.
Your phone can "watch" the status of up to eight other phones or 48 buddies.
These other phones form your "buddy list". Your phone displays the status of
your buddies in real time. Your phone can be "watched" by up to eight other
phones.
