About the Mobile Device icon
When you connect to the AIM service from your phone, anyone who is using AIM version
4.8.2646 or higher, or AOL version 7.0 or later, will see a Mobile Device icon appear next to your
screen name both in their Buddy List window and in the Instant Messaging window.
The Mobile Device icon lets others know that you are viewing and writing messages using a wire-
less phone. Your friends will then understand that it may take you longer to type messages, or
that your messages may be shorter and use more shorthand language or abbreviations.
If you are an AOL member and you do not want the Mobile Device icon to appear, you can disable
it from the AOL 7.0 Buddy List window. Click Setup, Preferences, and then in the Buddy List tab
uncheck the box labeled "Allow other members to see that I am using a mobile device."
If you are using the AIM desktop client version 4.8.2591 or higher, select MyAIM, Edit Options,
and then Edit Preferences. Then, select the Privacy category and uncheck the box labeled
"Allow other members to see that I am using a mobile device."
