■ Instant messaging (IM)
Instant messaging (network service) is a way to send short, simple text messages
to online users, delivered over TCP/IP protocols.
Before you can use instant messaging, you must subscribe to the service. To check
the availability and costs, and to subscribe to the service, contact your network
operator or service provider, from whom you also receive your unique ID,
password, and settings.
To set the required settings for the instant messaging service, see

. The icons and texts on the display may
vary, depending on the instant messaging service.
While you are connected to the instant messaging service, you can use the other
functions of the phone, and the instant messaging conversation remains active in
the background. Depending on the network, the active instant messaging
conversation may consume the phone battery faster, and you may need to
connect the phone to a charger.
