Hello,

My work is switching to the iphone5 but letting us keep our blackberrys for personal use.

How do I just use the bbm? Do I need to have a data plan set up on the blackberry or can I just buy an extra sim card and use the blackberry in WIFI zones or can I get a datashare package with the iphone or will BBM not work at all if there is no sim/data package associated with the blackberry?

thanks

yes bbm will not work without blackberry data plan.. no other way around it

You will need either BIS or BES service for BBM to work.

in order to get BBM to work you have to activate your BIS or BES data plan.

BBM works with wifi all around the world if your BIS/BES data plan is on.

for example I have my bis packet on.. but at my home the signal is low, therefore I switch off my mobile network, turn on wifi and BBM will work.

It still won't work on wifi if you don't have BIS / BES activated...

that is true..
the only way you can use BBM is when BIS and or BES is activated.
