The Buddy ListTM displays
the name and status for all online and offline buddies. The first time
you sign on to AIM Mobile, there are no buddies in your Buddy ListTM unless
you have created a "Mobile Device" group using AOL® 4.0 or
greater, AIM 4.2 or greater, or Aim Express.
If you have not
already created one before you sign on to AIM Mobile for the first time,
a "Mobile Device" group is created when you sign on. This
list is limited to 30 buddies. If you have 30 existing buddies
or less, they are all added to this new group. If you have more than
30 existing buddies, the 30 buddies most recently added to your Buddy
List are added to the Mobile Device group.
The Buddy ListTM
is updated every time you sign on, update the list, or refresh the browser.
The symbols preceding a buddy name indicate the buddy's status. Click
here for a list of symbols.

Adding
Buddies
 To
add a screen name to the Buddy ListTM, first select MENU to display
the List Menu.
|
|
 Select
Add Name to Buddy ListTM.
|
|
Type the screen name of your buddy and select OK.
|
TIP |
AIM ignores spaces in screen
names. Therefore, when you are typing a screen name that is a
compound word such as "SpaceCadet" or "iscreamdog"
using T9 Text Input, just press the RIGHT ARROW to insert
a space between the words instead of compounding the word. The
screen name will display as "Space Cadet" or "i
scream dog." AIM will ignore the spaces and interpret the
screen name correctly. |
