When you first sign on to AIM Mobile, there are no active conversations. You can send new messages to buddies in your Online Buddies list or any AIM screen name. To send a new message to an online buddy, highlight the buddy and select SEND . The buddy's name is shown at the beginning of the conversation. Select the appropriate input mode before you start typing.
Most phones default to the multi-tap mode.
For typing text messages, T9 Text Input is twice as fast as multi-tapping. Click here for more information on Typing Messages . You also can select a Quick Reply from the collection of smileys, greetings and common phrases used to coordinate activities with other people.
