Messenger
The messenger on your phone makes
instant messaging possible (immediate
message transfer, chatting). The phone
supports XMPP messenger (Jabber).
When you go online (page 22), you have
the following options:
u Display your list of contacts (buddies)
on your handset. Each buddy's status is
shown, for example online and ready
to chat (state of presence, see
page 22).
u Exchange messages with your buddies.
The message key f on your handset
will flash and a beep will sound to alert
you to new messages.
u Call your buddies directly from the
buddy list (page 23).
Preconditions for instant messaging:
u You have registered with an instant
messaging provider via the Web
browser on your PC and have created
a buddy list.
u You have saved the messenger server
address and your messenger server
access data (user ID, password) via the
Web configurator on your phone
(page 27).

Note:
If your instant messaging provider does not
support the messenger client on your phone,
open an account with a Jabber server and
enter its address using the Web configurator in
your phone. Many of these Jabber servers
offer gateways to other messenger servers
(including AOL, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo!).
You will find a list of Jabber servers and an
overview of the gateways to other messenger
servers on the Internet at:
http://www.jabber.org.
Notes
– Only one of the handsets connected to the
base station can go online.
– An external call for your handset interrupts
the chat, but you remain online. Once the
call is ended or rejected, you can resume
your chat.
