Instant messaging
23 Instant messaging
You can now take text messaging to the next level by experiencing instant
messaging in a wireless environment. You can engage in instant messaging with
friends and family, regardless of the mobile system or platform (like the Internet)
they are using. Before you can start using instant messaging, you must first
subscribe to the text messaging service. You must also obtain a user name and
password before you can use instant messaging. See “User name and password” on
page 87 for more information.
Note: If instant messaging is not available from your wireless service
provider, the IM screen may not appear. Contact your service provider for
more information.
• NETWORK SELECTION
With IM, you have the choice of selecting the instant messaging service (IM
provider or network) you want to use. Since each instant messaging service has its
own display text and icons associated with it, the display text and icons on your
phone may appear differently than what is displayed in this user guide update. If
you have any questions about the differences in the various networks’ display text
and icons, contact your service provider for more information.
