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
