IM—Instant messaging (chat)
Press , and select 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/
Logout, Settings, Help, and Exit.
Note: Check the availability of chat services,
pricing, and tariffs with your network operator
and/or service provider. Service providers will also
give you instructions on how to use their services.
Receive IM settings
Tip: To log in automatically when you start IM,
without having to enter your user ID and password
each time, select Options > Settings > Server
settings > IM login type > Automatic.
You must save the settings to access the service that you
want to use. You may receive the settings in a special text
message, a so-called smart message, from the network
operator or service provider that offers the IM service. See
“Data and settings” on page 40. You can also enter the
settings manually. See “Chat server settings” on page 70.
Connect to an IM server
1 Open IM to have your phone connect to the IM server
in use. To change the IM server in use and save new IM
servers, see “Chat server settings”, on page 70.
2 Enter your user ID and password, and press to log
in. You obtain the user ID and password for the IM
server from your service provider.
You can select Cancel to stay offline; to log in to the
IM server later, select Options > Login. You cannot
send or receive messages while you are offline.
3 To log out, select Options > Logout.
Modify your IM settings
Select Options > Settings > IM settings:
Use screen name (shown only if IM groups are supported
by the server)—Select OK and enter a nickname (up to 10
characters).
