Where to find chat option in facebook? - Samsung Star GT-S5233 Cell Phone

Is it just facebook or your internet connection ??..
The Facebook Chat feature allows you to send and receive messages in real time with friends who are online.
Your chat box reveals a list of available friends you can chat with by clicking their names.
For those times when you're not up for chatting, you can choose from several different privacy options, including disconnecting Facebook Chat.
You can opt to disconnect it completely, or just partially allowing chat availability for certain people and not others.
You can reconnect in a few quick steps.
Facebook Chat Availability

Your Facebook Chat availability determines how you appear in your friends' chat lists.
When you're logged in to your Facebook account, your name appears in the chat sidebars of any friends who are currently logged in.
When you set your chat preference to available, a green box appears next to your name.
When you're available, but idle, a grey moon appears next to your name.
When you're unavailable, your name appears without an icon.

Adjusting Chat Availability
Adjust your chat availability to control the visibility of your name in friends' chat lists.
Sign in to your Facebook account and click the "Chat" box in the lower right corner of any page to open your chat list.
Click the "Options" icon in the upper right corner of the box.
Click "Go Offline" to disconnect your chat availability.
If you're using the Facebook Chat sidebar, click the "Options" icon in the upper right corner of the box. Click the "Chat" box to open the sidebar if it isn't showing up on your home page.
Click the "Available to Chat" option to delete the check mark, making yourself invisible and unavailable to chat. Click the "Limit Availability" option and use the resulting pop-up to choose which friend lists you wish to remain visible to. This allows you to chat with some friends without others knowing you're logged on.
Disconnected Facebook Chat
Once you disconnect Facebook Chat or limit your chat availability, your online presence will be invisible to other users.
You can still browse the Facebook site as you would normally.
The appearance of your chat list won't be altered by your availability; you'll still be able to see which of your friends are online and available to chat.
That is, as long as their chat availability isn't hidden or disconnected.

Your Chat Messages

If a friend attempts to message while your Facebook Chat is disconnected, the message will be delivered to your Facebook inbox.
You'll receive an on-site notification, as well as text or email notifications if you're set up for that, alerting you that you have a new message in your inbox.
Click the "Message" icon that appears in the upper left corner of any page upon signing in to your Facebook account.
Any new messages will appear in the drop-down list. Click the "See All Messages" link at the bottom of the box to access your inbox and respond to any messages.

Thanks for understanding. Please let me know if you require any clarifications.

dear fren, i think you havent activated your account fully ... here are some steps to fully activate your facebook account and enable online chat ... 1. Go to your email and check for a email received by facebook and open it.. 2. click on the link given by facebook After doing that you can now chat online by facebook....
**This is the tips if your facebook is enabled and exclamation mark ' ! ' is displaying in your chat box...

Click on the chat tab on the bottom right hand corner of the screen when you are on facebook.com. look at the top of your friends list to an Options button. Click on the options button, then select "Go Offline." You have now disabled facebook chat.

Step 1. Log out from your Facebook account.
Step 2: Click the settings icon under the close button(It looks like a spanner).
Step 3: Click on options
Step 4: In the options page, click on Under The Hood
Step 5: Under the privacy tab, click Clear Private Data.
Step 6: Confirm.
Step 7: Sign into Facebook again. You should be fine.

When I open Facebook, I get a message, "Chat disabled on this page." How do I fix the problem?

On the lower right hand corner of your facebook site you will see the chat window (of facebook ) minimised.Click on it and on the maximised window you will see two tabs - 'friends' and 'options'

Click on options - go offline

You will not be visible to your friends

Okay, so what you need to do is go to the chat menu, after you close it, and go to the options menu. Then there should be an option to have pop-up/pop-out Facebook chat. Turn it off.
