IM provider selection menu
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 in and Saved
conversations. Depending on the IM service provider you are using, these may not be
the exact menu items displayed.
Online menu
After you log into IM, the following IM online options appear: Conversations, Online, and
Offline. 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 unique ID and you use the
same IM service. As the conversation progresses, the most recent message appears 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,” p. 17.
To begin an IM session, do the following:
1. From the IM online menu, 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 window is displayed, with the contact’s name 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 IM conversation 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. Select Write to reply.
If you receive an instant message when you have the IM application open, but do not have
an active chat open, a message appears 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.
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.
