Begin an IM session

You can send instant messages to anyone if you have the person's unique ID and you use the
same IM service.
To begin an IM session, do the following:
1. From your contacts list, select a contact who is online.
Some IM service providers also allow sending instant messages to contacts who are
not online.
2. To send a message to a person who is not in your contacts list, select Options, the option
to send a message, and enter the unique ID of the person.
A conversation menu is displayed, with the contact's name displayed at the top.
3. Enter a message. When you finish the message, select Send.

Receive and reply to messages

If you have an active IM conversation open and receive an instant message from the contact
with whom you are chatting, the new message notification sound plays and the message appears
in the conversation. As the conversation progresses, the most recent message appears at the
bottom of the menu, causing the previous messages to move up if the screen is full. To reply,
enter your message and select Send.
If you receive an instant message when you have the IM application open, but do not have
an active conversation open, the new message notification sound plays. Also, a new IM icon
is displayed next to the name of the message sender under the conversations section of the
contacts list.
If you receive an instant message when you are logged in to the IM service, but do not have the
IM application open on your phone, a message is displayed telling you that a new IM message
has been received. Select Start to open the IM application, and view the new message.
