8. IM & E-mail
You can use your phone to access instant messaging (IM) programs and e-mail
applications. You must register or have an established account with a service
provider online before you can use these features on your phone.
■ Instant Messages
Your device allows you to send and receive instant messages with friends and family,
regardless of the mobile system or platform (like the internet) they are using, as
long as everyone is using the same IM service.
Before you can start using IM, register with the IM service you want to use and obtain a
unique ID and password. See "Register with an IM service," p. 31 for more information.
Note: Depending on your IM service provider, you may not have access to
all of the features described in this guide and your menus may be different.
To check the availability and costs and to subscribe to the IM service, contact your
wireless service provider and the IM service provider from whom you receive your
unique ID, password, and settings.
While you are logged in and connected to the IM service, you can exit the IM
application and use the other functions of the phone, and the IM session and
conversations remain active in the background.
