Instant messaging
• USER NAME AND PASSWORD
Before you can begin to use instant messaging, you must obtain a user name and
password. You can do this by registering over the Internet (via your computer) with
the
IM
service provider you have selected to use. During the registration process,
you will have the opportunity to create the user name and password of your choice.
For more information about signing up for instant messaging services, contact your
wireless service provider.
• LOG INTO SERVICE
The first time you use instant messaging, you will need to enter your user name and
password and select the network you want to use, in order to log into the service.
After the first login, you will not have to select the network again, unless you want
to change it. Every time you log in, you will receive screen prompts for your user
name and password. You do not have to manually enter your user name (the user
name you entered previously appears on the
