You need a data plan/instant messaging plan to use BBM

you could either add it to your current contract or negotiate your current contract to add more and maybe reduce the amount you pay

^ yeah i was thinking of changing my current contract
i have a really overpriced plan that was made in a rush and i'm not looking forward to paying 3 yrs of that..
how do i view my current plan details on the rogers website?
My Plan $30 Unlimited Value w/ 1000 Messaging
My Add-ons Call Display
it only says that on my page. is that my entire plan? im pretty sure there's more to it

I know Rogers gives you 500mb for $25 a month. Dunno about other cell providers, but yes you do need data plan to BBM ppl

fido as well. +$5 for 1gb

also don't bother getting data if all you want is bbm. get their "social networking" add on thing, lets you use unlimited fb, msn, bbm, that kinda stuff. but only those things, you can't surf wherever you want and etc.

best bet is to call your provider and ask them any/all questions you have

Are you talking about 500mb or 50mb? Cause 50mb is useless to me as I surf alot lol

Interesting plan though... So would I call in, tell them I'm cancelling, and they'll give me that plan or how would I get that?

Also, does that plan include email?

"50 mb? That's like what...two emails?!"
So my retentions guy lol'd and gave me 150 mb. I surf quite a bit and never have gone over 100 mb.

You can try a similar approach

you need to get a blackberry data plan, not just a regular data plan, which includes unlimited bbm, email, and social networking sites. Should be ~$20? You need to pay more if you want data for web surfing.
