What IM service are you using? If it requires data, you will most likely need a BB data plan.

What do I need a Data Plan for? - BlackBerryFAQ

ym and msn. do u know what's data plan should i get ? for only to get on the IM ?

Probably the BB dataplan if you want the BB to work as it is designed.

i have the same problem and i have a data plan already as well. i am using bb 9000 with 4.6. any help?

thank you, and do you think it will works out if i use the data plan and when i connect it to wi-fi do you think it gonna works out too ?thank yo very much
