7. Messaging
You can use mobile messages to keep in touch with friends, family, and business
associates by using text messaging, which is a network service. Not all messaging
features are available in all wireless networks. Contact your service provider for
availability and subscription information.
When sending messages, your phone may display the words
Message sent
. This is
an indication that the message has been sent by your device to the message center
number programmed into your device. This is not an indication that the message
has been received at the intended destination. For more details about messaging
services, check with your service provider.
■ Text messages
Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the character limit for
a single message. Longer messages are sent as a series of two or more messages.
Your service provider may charge accordingly. Characters that use accents or other
marks and characters from some language options, such as Spanish, take up more
space, which limits the number of characters that can be sent in a single message.
A message length indicator appears at the top of the phone display. This indicator
allows you to see how many characters remain in the message as you are entering
text. For example, 673/2 means that there are 673 characters left and that the
message will be sent as a series of two messages.
You can use predefined templates to help you write text messages. Before you can
send any text or e-mail messages, you need to configure the message settings.
See "Message settings," p. 44.
To check SMS e-mail service availability and to subscribe to the service, contact
your service provider.

■ Multimedia messages
Only devices that have compatible features can receive and display multimedia
messages. The appearance of a message may vary depending on the receiving device.
A multimedia message can contain text, sound, a picture, a calendar note, a
business card, or a video clip. If the message is too large, the phone may not be
able to receive it. Some networks allow text messages that include an internet
address where you can view the multimedia message.
You cannot receive multimedia messages during a call or an active browsing
session over GSM data. Because delivery of multimedia messages can fail for
various reasons, do not rely solely upon them for essential communications.
Write and send a multimedia message
The wireless network may limit the size of multimedia messages. If the inserted
image exceeds this limit, the device may make it smaller so that it can be sent by
multimedia message service.
To set the settings for multimedia messaging, see "Multimedia," p. 45. To check
availability and to subscribe to MMS, contact your service provider.

Message sending
When you finish writing your message, to send the message, select

is shown. Actual receipt
of a message depends on a number of factors. For more details about messaging
services, check with your service provider.
It takes more time to send a multimedia message than to send a text message.
While the message is being sent, you can use other functions on the phone. If an
interruption occurs while the message is being sent, the phone tries to resend the
message a few times. If these attempts fail, the message remains in the outbox
folder. You can resend it later.

message and select

■ Instant messaging
Instant messaging (IM) is a way to send short, simple text messages to friends and
family, regardless of the mobile system or platform they use (like the internet), as long
as they all use the same IM service. Check with your service provider for availability.
Before you can use IM, you must subscribe to the service. To check the availability
and costs and to subscribe to the service, contact your wireless service provider
and the IM service provider from whom you receive your unique ID, password,
and settings.
Note: Depending on both your IM service provider and your wireless
service provider, you may not have access to all of the features described
in this guide.
Depending on the network, the active IM conversation may consume the phone
battery faster, and you may need to connect the phone to a charger.
Register with an IM service
Before you can use IM, you must register with an IM service to obtain a user name
and password. You can obtain a user name and password by registering over the
internet (using your computer) with the IM service provider you have selected.
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
IM services, contact your wireless service provider.
Log in
1. Select
Menu
>
Messaging
>
IM
> and the service you want to log into.
You must select the IM service every time you log in.
2. Enter your screen name and password if they are not already displayed.

M e s s a g i n g

Depending on your IM service, you may not need to enter your user name and
password manually every time you log in.
You can choose to save your password so you do not have to enter it each time
you sign in, or you can choose to log in automatically and skip the log in window
when you select the IM application. Scroll to
Save password
or
Automatic sign-in
and select
Mark
.
Icons and menu items
Each IM service provider has its own unique interface, so the IM menu items,
display text, and icons on your phone may appear differently for each IM service.
If you have questions about the differences in the various IM service providers’
text and icons, contact your wireless service provider for more information.
IM menus
When you select IM from your phone menu, a list of available IM services is displayed.
Select the desired IM service to access the offline menu options: Sign On, Saved
Conversations, and Network settings. Depending on the IM service provider you
are using, these may not be the exact menu items displayed.
After you log into IM, the following IM online options appear: Conversations,
Online contacts, and Offline contacts. Depending on the IM service provider you
are using, these may not be the exact menu items displayed.
Begin an IM session
You can send instant messages to anyone if you have the person’s user name and
you use the same IM service. As the conversation progresses, the most recent
message appears at the bottom of the window, causing the previous messages to
move up one level (some IM services may do this in the opposite direction).
If you want to chat with a person, you must first add that person to online contacts.
See "Contacts," p. 40.
To begin an IM session, do the following:
1. From the
IM
online menu, select a contact who is online.
2. A conversation window is opened, and the contact’s name is displayed at the top.
