The First Time You Sign On

If you have used AIM before on a computer, 

you already have a Buddy List where you 

store friends, family, and coworkers. When 

you sign on to the AIM service from your 

phone for the first time, a Mobile Device 

Group is automatically created in your Buddy 

List and up to 30 of your existing buddies are 

added to the group. These are the buddies 

you can see from your phone. Just think of 

the Mobile Device Group as your Buddy List 

for the phone.
