Depending on your IM service, you may not need to enter your user name and
password manually every time you log in.
You can choose to save your password so you do not have to enter it each time
you sign in, or you can choose to log in automatically and skip the log in window
when you select the IM application. Scroll to
Save password or Automatic sign-in
and select Mark .
Icons and menu items
Each IM service provider has its own unique interface, so the IM menu items,
display text, and icons on your phone may appear differently for each IM service.
If you have questions about the differences in the various IM service providers’
text and icons, contact your wireless service provider for more information.
IM menus
When you select IM from your phone menu, a list of available IM services is displayed.
Select the desired IM service to access the offline menu options: Sign On, Saved
Conversations, and Network settings. Depending on the IM service provider you
are using, these may not be the exact menu items displayed.
After you log into IM, the following IM online options appear: Conversations,
Online contacts, and Offline contacts. Depending on the IM service provider you
are using, these may not be the exact menu items displayed.
Begin an IM session
You can send instant messages to anyone if you have the person’s user name and
you use the same IM service. As the conversation progresses, the most recent
message appears at the bottom of the window, causing the previous messages to
move up one level (some IM services may do this in the opposite direction).
If you want to chat with a person, you must first add that person to online contacts.
See "Contacts," p. 40.
To begin an IM session, do the following:
1. From the IM online menu, select a contact who is online.
2. A conversation window is opened, and the contact’s name is displayed at the top.
3. Enter a message. When you finish the message, select OK .
Receive and reply to messages
If you have an active chat open and receive an instant message from the contact
or group member with whom you are chatting, the new message is displayed on
the conversation window in the sequence in which they are received. Select
Write to reply .
