If they don't have a data plan, they cannot use bbm.

I agree, I just tried it with my girlfriend and it didn't work. So I got her the data plan and now it works like a dream )

Yup the data plan is what you need. You can still pin message them I think, but that's not quite the same as good ol' BBM!

OS = Operating System

And amazing told you how to see it.

From your Home Screen on your Blackberry go to Options (it looks like a wrench), press the trackball, then scroll to the top to About, press the trackball, look at line 3. It will read v4.3.0.124 or something similar.

Type the numbers here in your post.
