Instant messaging (IM) (network service) allows you to
converse with other people using instant messages and
join discussion forums (IM groups) with specific topics.
Various service providers maintain IM servers that you can
log in to after you register to an IM service. Service
providers may differ in their support of features.
If IM is not available from your service provider, it may not
appear in the menu of your device. Contact your service
provider for more information about signing up for IM
services and costs of services. For more information on IM
settings, contact your service provider.
You may receive the settings in a special text message
from the service provider that offers the IM service. If not,
enter the settings manually.
Other instant messaging solutions, such as WindowsLive
and Yahoo, may be available in Download.
