■ Icons and menu items
Each IM service provider has its own unique interface, so the IM menu
items, menu 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’ menu text and icons,
contact your wireless service provider for more information.

Instant messaging (IM)
■ 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 menu, 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
IM contacts. See "Contacts," p. 4.
To begin an IM session, do the following:
1. From the IM online menu, select IM contacts.
2. Select a contact who is online.
A conversation menu is opened, and the contact’s name is displayed
at the top.
3. Enter a message. When you finish the message, select OK.
■ Receive and reply to messages
If you have an active chat open and receive an instant message from the
contact or group member with whom you are chatting, the new message
is displayed on the conversation menu in the sequence in which they are
received. Select Write to reply.
If you receive an instant message when you have the IM application open
but do not have an active chat open, a menu appears showing you have
a new instant message with the name of the sender. Select Open to open
the conversation menu with that contact’s new message displayed. To
reply, select Write, enter a message, and select OK.
If you receive an instant message when you are logged in to the IM
service but do not have the IM application open on your phone, a
message is displayed telling you that a new IM message has been
received. Select Start to open the IM application, and view the
new message.
