■ Instant messaging
You can take text messaging to the next level by experiencing instant messaging 
(IM) (network service) in a wireless environment. You can engage in instant 
messaging with friends and family, regardless of the mobile system or platform 
(like the Internet) they are using, as long as you all use the same instant 
messaging service.
Before you can start using instant messaging, you must first subscribe to your 
wireless service provider’s text messaging service and register with the instant 
messaging service you want to use. You must also obtain a user name and 
password before you can use instant messaging. See ”Register with an instant 
messaging service,” p. 36 for more information.
Note: Depending on both your IM service provider and your wireless 
service provider, you may not have access to all of the features described 
in this guide.
To set the required settings for the instant messaging service, see 
Connect. 
settings
 in ”Access,” p. 36. The icons and texts on the display may vary, 
depending on the IM service.
While you are connected to the IM service, you can use the other functions of the 
phone, and the IM conversation remains active in the background. Depending on 
the network, the active IM conversation may consume the phone battery faster, 
and you may need to connect the phone to a charger.
Register with an instant messaging service
You can do this by registering over the Internet with the IM service provider you 
have selected to use. During the registration process, you will have the 
opportunity to create the user name and password of your choice. For more 
information about signing up for IM services, contact your wireless service 
provider.
