Messenger

The messenger on your phone makes instant messaging possible (immediate message

transfer, chatting). The phone supports the XMPP Messenger (Jabber).
Instant messaging refers to communication between "friends" on the Internet. Subscribers

exchange short messages, which are forwarded immediately. This gives rise to a flowing

"conversation" similar to chatting.
The precondition for this form of communication is that both subscribers have a connec-

tion to the messenger server of the same instant messaging provider. Therefore, both

subscribers must be "online". The messenger server forwards the messages to the recipi-

ent.
The subscribers to instant messaging are called buddies.
Most messenger servers allow you to create what are known as buddy lists. You can store

the buddies you want to chat to in the buddy list.
The messenger server informs you as soon as one of your buddies comes online or goes

offline. Offline means that the buddy has disconnected from the messenger server.
In addition to this, each buddy can determine their own (communication) status (state of

presence, see page 89), from which buddies can tell whether they are in the mood to chat

or wish to remain undisturbed.

The Web configurator on your phone gives you the following options:

u

Go online (page 87).

u

Display the list of your contacts (buddies) on the handset that you previously created

on the PC. This will indicate for each buddy whether they are available (online) and

ready to chat (state of presence, see page 89).

u

Exchange messages with your buddies. Your handset notifies you about new messages

with a flashing message key

f and a beep.

u

Call your buddies directly from your buddy list (page 94).

Preconditions for instant messaging:

u

You have registered with an instant messaging provider via the Web browser on your PC

and (optionally) agreed a Web name (nickname).

u

You have created a buddy list via the messenger client on the PC.

u

You have saved the messenger server address and your access data for the messenger

server (user ID, password) in the phone using the Web configurator (page 152). The

phone needs the data to establish a connection with the messenger server.
