Instant Messaging functionality is provided through the PictoChat software that comes preloaded on the DS. To access PictoChat, turn on the DS, and the PictoChat option is located on the left side in the middle of the main menu. Choose a room, A-D, to chat with nearby DS users.

However, this offers only short-range communication. Alternatively, the DS Opera browser, which can be purchased separately, connects to Wi-Fi, allowing access to some (but not all) Web-based instant messaging services. Some examples would include Meebo, which allows communication with users of various Instant Messaging programs such as AIM, MSN, Yahoo!, and Google Talk, and Gabbly, which allows for a unique chat room on any web page.
