Presence-enhanced contacts - My presence With the presence service (network service) you can share your presence status with other users, for example, your family, friends, and colleagues. Presence status includes your availability, status message, and personal logo. Other users who have access to the service and are requesting your information, are able to see your status. The requested information is shown in Subscribed names in the viewers' Contacts menu. You can personalize the information that you want to share with others and control who can see your status. Before you can use presence, you need to subscribe to the service. To check the availability and costs, and to subscribe to the service, contact your network operator or service provider, from whom you also receive your unique ID, password, and the settings for the service. See Configuration settings on page 97. To use presence, connect to the service. While you are connected to the presence service, you can use the other functions of the phone, and the presence service is active in the background. If you disconnect from the service, your presence status is shown for a certain amount of time for the viewers depending on the service provider. Press Menu, and select Contacts, and My presence. Select from the following options: • Connect to 'My presence' service or Disconnect to connect to or to disconnect from the service. • My current presence, and select, for example, to view your current private or public status, to change your presence status, or to select the groups with whom you want to share your presence status information.
