Instant Messaging Technology on Nokia

Mobile Instant Messaging
You may already use an instant messaging service on your PC. Now you can take advantage of instant messaging on your Nokia phone.

What You Get with Mobile Instant Messaging

• Chat in real time with your contacts, whether they're online at a PC or also using instant messenger on a phone - it works mobile-to-mobile, mobile-to-PC, and PC-to-mobile
• If you have to dash from your PC but want to keep a conversation going, just switch on instant messaging in your mobile while you're still logged on
• See instantly if your contacts are online and available
• Invite several people to one conversation - very helpful when you're making movie plans or scheduling meetings

With some phones, instant messaging works closely with Presence - you can see where your friends are, what they're doing, and send them a message they can respond to right away

How it Works
To use instant messaging, you'll need a username and password from an online IM service, and the rest depends on your phone and operator. Some operators support specific software. Some phones have an application built-in, and with others you can download an independent Java™ application.
You may use IM by connecting to the Internet (over WAP, GPRS/EDGE, WCDMA or other network connection), or you may also send and receive messages by SMS.

Getting Instant Messaging
Many network operators have special support for instant messaging services. They can provide you with applications and instructions on how to use them. If you’re already familiar with popular instant messaging programs for PC, you’ll find the interface very similar.

Some Nokia phones come with instant messaging applications pre-installed. In this case, developers can tweak these applications so that they work seamlessly with the phone’s interface and technological capabilities. If your Nokia phone doesn’t have pre-installed software, you can try downloading a Java™ application – several are easily available, each with different features. A single application can be compatible with several major IM clients. Your operator's charges depend on which method you're using, and how they set their own tariffs.

Using Instant Messaging
You should be able to see your list of contacts or “buddy list” as soon as you’re connected. You’ll also see their status – whether they’re online or not. They might also have some variations on their status like “Away” or “At Lunch,” so you know there’s a reason if they don’t answer right away.

Simply connect to your network, choose a contact, type a message, and your message is sent to your friend instantly. Because you’re already connected to the Internet (through GPRS or other connection), there’s virtually no lag between sending and receiving.
SMS: A Solution for Simpler Phones
Some phones may not be compatible with IM software, so some operators have a neat solution: an instant message sent to your username will be forwarded to your phone as an SMS message. Simply reply to the SMS message and it’s sent to their instant messaging program. It’s not quite as “instant” as the more advanced version, but it’s still an innovative way to keep in touch.
