IM—instant messaging (chat)
Select Menu > My own > IM.
Instant messaging is a network service which allows you to
converse with other people using instant messages and
join discussion forums (IM groups) with specific topics.
Various service providers maintain IM servers that you can
log in to once you have registered to an IM service.
Options in the IM main view are Open, Login, or
Logout, Settings, Help, and Exit.
Check the availability of chat services, pricing, and tariffs
with your service provider. Service providers will also give
you instructions on how to use their services.

without having to enter your user ID and password
