Presence and Instant Messaging

With Presence and Instant Messaging, you can share your online status (presence) and exchange instant
messages with the contacts who have a softphone number or an XMPP address. You can also send an SMS from
a SIP account to PSTN mobile phone numbers if your VoIP service provider supports this feature.

Presence and Instant Messaging is available as an in-app purchase. Make sure your VoIP service provider
supports SIP SIMPLE before purchasing this option if you plan to use this feature over SIP SIMPLE. To
purchase this option and set up your Bria, see page 61.
