Ok let me start off by saying I DO HAVE THE BLACBERRY DATA PLAN...
so when i open AIM it shows three categories: coversations, online, and offline.
when I open the online group in there is no one there and it says 0/27. I know that i have friends online becasue if i go on via my computer they are all there. i just switched over today from a sidekick and all of those friends are on a sidekick if that makes a difference.
Have u tried restarting? Sometime AIM may freeze up if you're on for a long time. Its happened to me and i just restarted, went back to normal. If its like that all the time u may need to check your settings on AIM mobile's site. Good Luck!
That answers my question. I didnt even realize that the AIM mobile site had a ristriction on buddies. Coming from a sidekick i didnt realize that would be a problem.
