Receive and reply to messages
If you have an active IM conversation open and receive an instant message from the contact
with whom you are chatting, the new message notification sound plays and the message
appears in the conversation. As the conversation progresses, the most recent message
appears at the bottom of the menu, causing the previous messages to move up if the screen
is full. To reply, enter your message and select Send.
If you receive an instant message when you have the IM application open, but do not have
an active conversation open, the new message notification sound plays. Also, a new IM icon
is displayed next to the name of the message sender under the conversations section of the
contacts list.
If you receive an instant message when you are logged in to the IM service, but do not have the
IM application open on your phone, a message is displayed telling you that a new IM message
has been received. Select Start to open the IM application, and view the new message.
