Instant messaging (IM) (network service) allows you to converse with other people using instant messages and join discussion forums (IM groups) with specific topics. Various service providers maintain compatible IM servers that you can log in to after you register to an IM service. Service providers may differ in their support of features. Before you can use Instant messaging, you must save the settings to access the service that you want to use. The settings may be preconfigured in your device, or you may receive the settings as a configuration message from the service provider that offers the IM service. You can also enter the settings manually.
