6. Instant messaging (IM)
Instant messages are short messages exchanged in real time with
friends and family, regardless of whether they are using their
IM-capable phone or a PC, as long as they all use the same IM service.
With IM, you can see who is offline, busy, and who is online and
available to chat.
Before you can use IM, you must subscribe to the service. To check the
availability and costs and to subscribe to the service, contact your
wireless network operator, and the IM service provider from whom you
receive your unique ID, password, and settings.
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 and your menus may be different.
