Hi Guys,
I’m sorry for asking such a simple question – but I’m so confused.
I have had my Blackberry Storm for almost a year now, and I was told that BBM was a free way to talk to your friends who also had a Blackberry. So now I’m really confused as people keep mentioning data plans etc.

I’m in the UK and am on the Vodafone £35 plan, which apparently gives me “unlimited texts, unlimited Mobile Internet and unlimited email.” I want to bb message my friend in the US – would this cost me? Would this cost her? Does it depend on her plan?

What’s the point of bbm if it isn’t free? I honestly thought the whole point of bbm was that it let you communicate with other blackberry users free of charge.

I’m obviously fairly dumb when it comes to this stuff, so please answer this as if I have only just landed on this planet lol. Thanks =)
