How do I instant message on my iPhone

Sorry, but I can not figure out how to Instant Message on my iPhone.  I called AT&T and they told me about the Settings but I can not comprehend how to actually send an Instant Message. 
I refuse to text and thought that's what my daughter was doing but she was IM me. AT&T said I do not get charged to IM.
Could someone please give me a step by step method?
Please........

Sorry, but guess I'm just stupid.  I guess I must be referring to iMessage? 
Yes, I had gone into Settings>Messages>iMessage>On... But after that I got lost.
I wanted to send a photo as my daughter did to me but simply could not figure it out.
I tried clicking on the photo and send but must be doing something wrong. I even asked my daughter how she did it but of course she's didn't know.  She was afraid it had gone as a text message which she knows I don't do.

    how can i use instant messaging with other iphone just like blackberry messaging

    At this time, there is no instant messenger application as Wright explained. Apple has not devouted to adding an instant messenger system nor widgets to the iOS, except by SMS and FaceTime.
    You can download many instant messenger programs in use for the iPhone. Most of which are free. There are also group messenger programs that you can record your instant messengers within.
    Palringo, eBuddy, Skype, AOL, Yahoo, MSN, Google, and many more keywords can be used on the App Store.

    "There is nothing there when I go to it."
    What does "there" mean?  What does "it" mean?
    If you saved a backup in iCloud or iTunes, and then restored that backup to a newer device, you would see the messages ... assuming the newer device uses the same telephone number and cellular carrier as the old one did.

    How long are sent messages retained in iphone 4?

    As far as I know, until you delete them. However, keeping huge numbers of old text messages on your phone can take up a lot of space and can have an impact on the performance of the Messages app. I would recommend archiving them off the phone if you want to keep them. I use PhoneView on my Mac for this purpose. TouchCopy is a Windows/Mac app that I believe does the same.

  • How to enable instant messaging in Nokia E72?

    Hello,
    As per Nokia E72 user guide, the phone does support IM(Instant Messaging). However I am not able to locate it? Could someone help me with IM set up?
    Thanks

    Please assist.
    Thanks
    venks
    Since IM is firmware it must be somewhere. Did you check all other folders for IM? Reset the phone or update with Nokia Software Updater. There are alternatives like Fring. Download with OVI store. You can find IM there too.

  • How do I delete messages on my iPhone? Even though I drag the messages to Trash, 'message' with no content still shows up on list.

    Even though I drag email message to Trash to delete them, 'message' (s) with no content still shows up on my email In box.  How do I get rid of these??
    Thanks in advance!

    Drag email messages on an iPhone? I don't think so...
    Try to Reset your device: Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).

  • How to download SMS messages from my iPhone?

    How can I download SMS messages from my iPhone to my mac?

    You can copy/paste to an email & send such to yourself, or get third-party software & import to your computer:

    One method is free, the other costs money. Both work.

  • Instant Messaging on the iPhone (AIM,Yahoo,MSN)

    Are there any talks of instant messaging becoming an available option on the iPhone.

    There is plenty of talk by users but none from Apple. If Apple is planning on providing an IM application for the iPhone at some point, such information is not announced or discussed ahead of time by Apple.
    There are plenty of web based methods for accessing IM on the iPhone which work well.

  • How to activate Instant Messaging in Outlook 2010

    Hi,
    I have a very bad habit of Instant Messaging. Currently, I am using
    Microsoft Outlook 2010. Is there any instant messaging feature in Outlook? If yes, then please help me out in configuring it and using it.
    Thank you friends.

    Hi Peter,
    You question is very unique and interesting. I would like to answer your query. We can very easily activate and access the Instant Messaging feature in Microsoft Outlook. Just follow the below mentioned steps: -
    Click on File---->Options---->Contacts.
    A window with the name "Online Status and Photographs" will pop up on the screen. Select the check box of the options
    "Display online status next to name".
    By this, you will be able to use the Outlook Instant Messaging feature. Let me know, if you face any other issue. 
    Regards
    Ashish@V
