someone help me. swapped phone with another person the other day. got a blackberry 8800. but i cant create an email account and cant text message receive or out

Need a little more info. Sounds like two different problems. What happens when you try to create an email account and what happens when you try and text? It's possible that one solution might fix both problems but need a little more info.

How about, do you have a Blackberry plan?
