Presence-enhanced contacts - My presence
With the presence service (network service) you can share your presence status 
with other users, for example, your family, friends, and colleagues. Presence status 
includes your availability, status message, and personal logo. Other users who 
have access to the service and are requesting your information, are able to see 
your status. The requested information is shown in 
Subscribed names
 in the 
viewers’ 
Contacts
 menu. You can personalize the information that you want to 
share with others and control who can see your status.
Before you can use presence, you need to subscribe to the service. To check the 
availability and costs, and to subscribe to the service, contact your network 
operator or service provider, from whom you also receive your unique ID,
