Hi...
A friend of mine sometimes seems to become unavailable in BB messenger without setting the status manually. The same happens to me sa well sometimes, and when it does, I do not see myself as unavailable (nor have I set it on my own).

So my question is what causes one to become "unavailable?" No service, phone call? He thinks its receiving a text on his part...

I'm using a Nextel 7100i and he is on a TMO Pearl.

You got it. No service, Data off or phone call! Text Message should not do it.

Those are possibilities but there has been a bug in BB messenger for a long time now. I've posted, in the past, about sitting right next to a person in a good coverage area, and he went unavailable on me while I was fine. The fix was to turn wireless off and then on again. The behavior has not changed in over a year. It did it on my 8700g and now does it on my 8703e.
