22 Instant messaging
You can now take text messaging to the next level by experiencing instant 
messaging in a wireless environment. You can engage in instant messaging with 
friends and family, regardless of the mobile system or platform (like the Internet) 
they are using. Before you can start using instant messaging, you must first 
subscribe to the text messaging service. You must also obtain a user name and 
password before you can use instant messaging. See “User name and password” on 
page 86 for more information. 
Note: If instant messaging is not available from your wireless service 
provider, the IM screen may not appear. Contact your service provider for 
more information. 
  NETWORK SELECTION
With IM, you have the choice of selecting the instant messaging service (IM 
provider or network) you want to use. Since each instant messaging service has its 
own display text and icons associated with it, the display text and icons on your 
phone may appear differently than what is displayed in this user guide update. If 
you have any questions about the differences in the various networks’ display text 
and icons, contact your service provider for more information.
