Register with an IM service
Before you can use IM, you must register with an IM service to obtain an IM
user name and password. You can obtain an IM user name and password by
registering over the Internet (using your computer) with the IM service provider
you have selected. 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.
IM icons and menu items
Each IM service provider has its own unique interface, so the IM menu items, screen
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’ screen
text and icons, contact your wireless service provider for more information.
