  4. Install the application by opening it from the folder where you have downloaded it. The installation is usually user friendly, and it guides you through the entire process.

  5. Open the application.

  6. Create your account, which will also be just as easy as the installation process. You will basically have to enter a user name and a password, or sometime your location and other additional information.

  7. Add contacts: you can either look for them just by entering their name, or to get more precise results, you can give their usernames. Most of the times the contacts you wish to add need to have the same application so that you can add them.
