■ Instant messaging
Instant messaging (network service) allows you to converse with other 
people using instant messages, and join discussion forums (IM groups) 
with specific topics. Once you have registered with an instant 
messaging (IM) service, you can log into the service provider’s IM server.
Check the availability of IM services, pricing, and tariffs with your 
network operator or service provider. Service providers also provide you 
instructions on how to use their services. 
To access an instant messaging service you need to save the settings for 
that service. You may receive the settings from the network operator or 
service provider that offers the service in a configuration message. You 
can also enter the settings manually. See “Instant messaging settings,” 
p. 108.
