Send messages
In My Friends, you can exchange private messages with
players in your Friends List. If your Friend is currently

to your message and you can chat one-on-one, similar
to instant messaging.
To view new messages received from an N-Gage Friend,
scroll to the friend on your Friends list, and select
Options > View Message . Read messages are
deleted automatically when you exit N-Gage.
To view Game recommendations, select
Options >
View Recommendation . Game recommendations are
deleted automatically a week after you receive them.
To send a message to a N-Gage Friend, scroll to the
Friend on your Friends List, and select Options > Send
Message . The maximum size of a Private Message is
115 characters. To send the message, select Submit .
You need a GPRS, 3G, or wireless LAN connection to be
able to use the messaging feature. Data transfer
charges may apply. For more information, contact your
mobile service provider.
