15. Instant messages (IM)
Note: This feature may not be available in your
product due to your subscription (network service).
Instant messaging (IM) (network service) is a way to send short, simple
text messages to online users, delivered over TCP/IP protocols.
Before you can use instant messaging, you must subscribe to the
service. To check the availability and costs, and to subscribe to the
service, contact your network operator or service provider, from whom
you also receive your unique ID, password, and settings.
To set the required settings for the instant messaging service, see
Connection settings
in “Access the instant messaging menu,” p. 81. The
icons and texts on the display may vary, depending on the instant
messaging service.
While you are connected to the instant messaging service, you can use
the other functions of the phone, and the instant messaging
conversation remains active in the background. Depending on the
network, the active instant messaging conversation may consume the
phone battery faster, and you may need to connect the phone to a
charger.
