Using the Instant Messenger (IM)

Using the Instant Messenger (IM)
Your phone's messenger enables instant messaging (immediate message
transfer, chatting). The phone supports the XMPP messenger (Jabber).
Instant messaging refers to communication between "friends" on the Internet.
Subscribers exchange short messages, which are forwarded immediately. This
results in a flowing "conversation" similar to chatting.
The prerequisite for this form of communication is that both subscribers have
a connection to the message server of the same instant messaging provider.
Therefore, both subscribers must be "online". The message server forwards the
messages to the recipient.
The subscribers to instant messaging are called buddies.
Most message servers allow you to create Buddy lists. You can store the bud-
dies you want to chat to in the Buddy list.
The message server informs you as soon as one of your buddies comes online
or goes offline. Offline means that the buddy has disconnected from the mes-
sage server.
In addition to this, each buddy can determine their own (communication) sta-
tus (state of presence,
£
Page 84), from which buddies can tell whether they
are in the mood to chat or wish to remain undisturbed.
The Web configurator on your phone gives you the following options:
u Go online (£
Page 82).
u Display the list of your contacts (buddies) on the handset that you previ-
ously created on the PC. This will indicate for each buddy whether they are
available (online) and ready to chat (state of presence,
£
Page 84).
u Exchange messages with your buddies. Your handset notifies you about
new messages with a flashing Message key f and a beep.
u Call your buddies directly from your Buddy list (£
Page 89).
Prerequisites:
u You have registered with an instant messaging provider via the Web browser
on your PC and (optionally) agreed a Web name (nickname).
u You have created a Buddy list via the messenger client on the PC.
u You have saved the message server address and your access data for the
message server (user ID, password) in the phone using the Web configura-
tor (£
Page 179). The phone needs the data to establish a connection with
the message server.
