Getting Started
Wireless AOL®Instant Messenger™ (AIM®)
enables you to communicate with other AIM
users using your wireless phone.
If you have an AOL, AIM, Netscape®, or
CompuServe 2000®screen name, you’re
ready to go. If not, get one free from
www.aim.com. To use this service, you need
your Samsung e105(T2), and a screen
name.
Sign On to the AIM Service
To use the AIM service, you must first sign
on using your screen name and password.
After you sign on to the service from your
phone, you can set your phone to sign on
automatically without entering your screen
name and password again. See “Auto-Sign
On” on page 28.

AIM then press the Select softkey.
2. From the AIM Offline menu, select
Sign On then press the Select
softkey.
3. Type your screen name then press

If you are signed on to AIM on your PC, and
you then sign on to AIM using your phone,
your AIM connection on your PC will be
signed off automatically.
If you are signed on to AOL on your PC, and
you then sign on to AIM with your phone,
you will receive instant messages both on
your phone and on your PC. The AIM service
will notify you if you are already signed on to
AOL.

The First Time You Sign On
If you have used AIM before on a computer,
you already have a Buddy List where you
store friends, family, and coworkers. When
you sign on to the AIM service from your
phone for the first time, a Mobile Device
Group is automatically created in your Buddy
List and up to 30 of your existing buddies are
added to the group. These are the buddies
you can see from your phone. Just think of
the Mobile Device Group as your Buddy List
for the phone.

1. From the phone’s main menu, select
AIM then press the Select softkey.
2. From the AIM Online menu, select
Sign Off then press the Select
