Blackberry Messenger Question

[mcastell]

So I Added A Friend To My Mesesenger, But His Name Will Not Show Up In My Contacts List. It Will Not Get Out Of The "pending Section" But I Still Have Conversations With Him Through Blackberry Messenger But He Has To Message Me First. Which Means Im Showing Up As One Of His Contacts In His Phone But He Wont Show Up As One Of My Contacts In My Phone. Does Anyone Know Why This May Be?

if you tried to add him by PIN i would recommend trying to add him by an email address that goes to his device and if not then try it the other way around. From my experiances ive noticed that certain people it wont allow me to add them via pin so email is the best option IMO

[mcastell]

But If I Added Him With An Email Address Would The Messages I Send To Him Be Sent To His Email Address Or His Bbm. Sorry Im New To This. I Dont Fully Understand How To Use My Blackberry.

so in BBM you when you go to "add contact" in that little box just type in an email address he gets on his device, that should get him added for ya. add me mb978n@<hidden>

Ok.. I Sent It.. Lets See If It Works

[mb978n]

havent recieved anything yet... what is your pin and are you running BIS or BES?

[mcastell]

What Is Bis And What Is Bes????? This Is All A Foreign Languate To Me..

[mb978n]

do you have data going to your phone? BIS is blackberry personal.. so joe customer uses this one... and BES is exchange.. so joe business user uses this one

[mcastell]

Where Would I Go To Change That.. Wait.. Which One Do I Want To Use? To Make It Work..

Data-as In Email? Yes I Have 3 Email Accounts Hooked Up To My Bb

[mb978n]

you wouldnt make any changes, just the fact that you have data (email,internet) going to your phone is what i needed to know. If you didnt then that would explain y blackberry msgr isnt working for you.

but what is your pin ill try adding you

[mcastell]

should i take email off my phone to make it work?? its just very frusturating because alot of ppl cant add me..


my pin is 31a25432

[mb978n]
