yes, BBM is for BlackBerry to BlackBerry and uses data. To add people to your BBM you need their PIN number. The PIN number is a unique number assigned to each BB and can be found @ Options-Status.

i find that it is faster than AIM. it also shows you the status of your message. D for Delivered and R for Read.

i only have 3 people on my BBM. i only add people that i know "in real life." but there is a PIN sharing section here on crackberry so you can find people with similiar interests that want to be BBM friends! http://forums.crackberry.com/f51/

well, that's why you need to get on crackberry.com on your blackberry! you can just post a question on wap.crackberry.com from your device and get your answers!

Read through this thread! it's pretty helpful. The first thing to do is to go to wap.crackberry.com from your bb and instal the crackberry launcher!
