Modify a sound alert for notifications 1 On the Home screen, select Start. 2 Select Settings and then Notifications. 3 Scroll to the notification to modify. 4 Scroll left or right to select a new sound. 5 Select Done. 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 127. 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.
