6.7 Instant Messaging
You can use MSN Messenger on your Smartphone to
send and receive instant messages. MSN Messenger on
your phone provides the same chat environment as MSN
Messenger on your desktop computer. Features of this
environment include:
• Sending and receiving instant messages.
• Seeing the status of others in your Messenger contacts
list, or changing your own status (e.g., available, busy, out
to lunch).
• Inviting other people to a chat.
• Blocking contacts from seeing your status or sending you
messages.
Setting up MSN Messenger
You need either a .NET Passport account or a Hotmail ac-
count to set up MSN Messenger. To set up a .NET Passport
account, go to: http://www.passport.com. Once you have an
account, you need to create a connection on your phone that
allows you to connect to the Internet. For more information
about creating connections, see Chapter 5.
Using MSN Messenger
You can sign in to MSN Messenger using your Hotmail
credentials or your .NET Passport.
