Hey... I am new to the BB. I have a BB pearl and I have t-mobile. I really want to use BB instant messenging (pin to pin) but I have no clue how to use it.

What do I need to get this? Do I need to pay for this? Is this free? Do I need internet service? because I don't have internet service.

Do I need a data plan? I'm not sure if I even have that.

Any feedback would be great!

Thanks,

Duy

Do you have a BlackBerry Data Plan?

You must have this to use the PIN messaging or BB Messenger.

Please do not use the report post button on this forum to ask questions. Doing so will get you banned from this site, like crying fire in a crowded threatre, just don't do it.
good luck.

Welcome to the forums! You need to check on your plan. You cannot use the BB Messenger unless you have a Blackberry Data Plan.

What is the blackberry data plan? Do I need to pay for that? I do I know if I have the BB data plan?

you said you don't have internet now, you probably don't have the Data Plan,
