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 wireless 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.
