Instant messages
Instant messaging (network service) is a way to send short, simple text messages
to online users, delivered over TCP/IP protocols. Your contact list shows you when
your contacts on the list are online and available to participate in an instant
messaging conversation. When you have written and sent your message, it
remains displayed. The reply message appears below your original message.
Before you can use instant messaging, you need to subscribe to the service. To
check the availability and charging and to subscribe to the service, contact your
network operator or service provider, from whom you also receive your unique ID
and password and the settings for the instant messaging.
To set the required settings for the instant messaging service, see
Connect.

While you have connected to the instant messaging service, you can use the other
functions of the phone, and the instant messaging session remains active in the
background. Depending on the network, the active instant messaging session may
consume the phone battery faster, and you may need to connect the phone to a
charger.
