Sending and Receiving Instant Messages

You can use MSN Messenger on your Smartphone to send and receive instant
messages. MSN Messenger on your Smartphone provides the same chat environment
as MSN Messenger on your desktop computer. Features of this environment include:
• Sending and receiving instant messages.
• Seeing the status of others in your MSN Messenger contacts list, or changing your
own status (for example, available, busy, or out to lunch).
• Inviting other people to a chat.
• Blocking contacts from seeing your status or sending you messages.
Setting up MSN Messenger
Before you can use MSN Messenger, you must take steps to set it up. First, you need
either a Microsoft .NET Passport account or a Hotmail account. To set up a Microsoft
.NET Passport account, go to: http://www.passport.com. Once you have this account,
you need to do the following:
Create a connection on your Smartphone, such as a modem or wireless connection that
allows you to connect to the Internet. For more information about creating connections,
see "Phone Networks" on page 112.
Using MSN Messenger
You can sign in to MSN Messenger using your Hotmail credentials or your .NET
Passport. Once you sign in, you can create contacts and exchange instant messages
with them. This is called "chatting." Contacts must have a Hotmail or .NET Passport
account and must have MSN Messenger installed.
Sign in to MSN Messenger
1 On the Home screen, select Start.
2 Select MSN Messenger.
3 Select Sign In.
4 In Sign-in Name, enter the sign-in name that you use for Hotmail or your .NET
Passport (Example: name_123@hotmail.com).
5 In Password, enter your Hotmail or .NET Passport password.
6 Select Remember my password if you don't want to enter your password again in
the future.
7 Select Sign In.
Note: When you sign in, MSN Messenger retains your sign-in name, and your
password if you opted to save it, so that you do not need to enter this
information again the next time.
Sign out of MSN Messenger
• Select Menu and then Sign out.
Important: Signing out closes your data connection. Be sure to sign out when
you are finished using MSN Messenger or your connection will
remain open. This might result in additional charges.
