Icons and menu items
Each IM service provider has its own unique interface, so the IM menu items,
display text, and icons on your phone may be different for each IM service. If you
have questions about the differences in the various IM service providers’ text and
icons, contact AT&T for more information.
IM menus
When you select IM from your phone menu, a list of available IM services is
displayed. Select the desired IM service to access the offline menu options: Sign
On, Saved Conversations, and Network settings. Depending on the IM service
provider you are using, these may not be the exact menu items displayed.
After you log into IM, the following IM online options are displayed:
Conversations, Online contacts, and Offline contacts. Depending on the IM service
provider you are using, these may not be the exact menu items displayed.
Begin an IM session
You can send instant messages to anyone if you have the person’s user name and
you use the same IM service. As the conversation progresses, the most recent
message is displayed at the bottom of the window, causing the previous messages
to move up one level (some IM services may do this in the opposite direction).
If you want to chat with a person, you must first add that person to online
contacts. See ”Contacts” on page 27.
To begin an IM session, do the following:
1. Select IM online, and a contact that is online.
2. A conversation window opens, and the contact’s name is displayed at the top.
3. Enter a message. When you finish the message, select OK.
Receive and reply to messages
If you have an active chat open and receive an instant message from the contact
or group member with whom you are chatting, the new message is displayed on
the conversation window in the sequence in which they are received.
If you receive an instant message when you have the IM application open, but do
not have an active chat open, a message is displayed showing you have a new
instant message with the name of the sender. Select Open to open the
conversation window with that contact’s new message displayed. To reply, select
Write, enter a message, and select OK.
