Messenger
The messenger on your phone makes
instant messaging
possible (immediate
message transfer, chatting). The phone supports the XMPP messenger
(Jabber).
Instant messaging refers to communication between "friends" on the Internet.
Subscribers exchange short messages, which are forwarded immediately.
This gives rise to a flowing "conversation" similar to chatting.
The precondition for this form of communication is that both subscribers have
a connection to the
messenger server
from the same instant messaging pro-
vider. Therefore, both subscribers must be "
online
". The messenger server for-
wards the messages to the recipient.
The subscribers to instant messaging are called
buddies.
Most messenger servers allow you to create what are known as
buddy lists.
You can store the buddies you want to chat to in the buddy list.
The messenger server informs you as soon as one of your buddies comes
online or goes offline.
Offline
means that the buddy has disconnected from
the messenger server.
In addition to this, each buddy can determine their own (communication)
status
(
state of presence,
), from which buddies can tell whether
they are in the mood to chat or wish to remain undisturbed.
The messenger on your phone provides you with the following options:
u

u
Display the list of your contacts (
buddies
) on the handset that you previ-
ously created on the PC. This will indicate for each buddy whether they are

) and ready to chat (
state of presence

u
Exchange messages with your buddies. Your handset notifies you about
new messages with a flashing message key
