Alright so why can I not find a free version of AOL Instant Messenger anymore? My friend who got a BB over the summer has it and got it for free from blackberry.com but I cannot seem to find it anymore


Any help guys?

The only way I got it to install on mine was when I went under the bookmarks in the bb browser and clicked on the download aim bookmark....I got the not supported error when I actually went to the bb aim site as well

If you go to blackberry's mobile page from your BB you can download it for free under applications --> staying in touch --> AOL IM.

www.blackberry.com/instantmessaging worked for me perfectly. But /aim told me my device was not supported

[exelant]

The link I put up there is the one to go to from your device to download the application. I use it all the time and it works fine -- as long as you have AIM installed on your PC. You need it on your PC to register and get a password so you can log on to the IM app from your device.

It still says my BB isnt supported. Someone said something about resending service books or something. HOw would I do that?

[exelant]

Send Service Books: Click your internet email icon (the envelope with a gear in front of it)> click service books> click send service books. You can also log onto your provider's page from your pc and send them from there.

Also do a reset after:

press your alt-right shift-delete keys for a soft reset. Just when your screen lights up again, press those keys again for a hard reset.

I always see this question get asked by people on ATT, and everyone always tries to answer it as if you are not on ATT:

It has nothing to do with your service books, etc. It's because you're on att. Go to the search at the top of this page and look for a thread titled IMPORTANT: aim and icq enabled on all carriers. Within the first 3 pages of that thread you should be able to find the answer to your question, it just requires changing a few simple things around, pm me if you have any questions.

Does anyone know, when you download this AIM application from Blackberry, if it uses data usage or SMS usage?

[CharlieV]

I think it uses data, not text. See http://forums.crackberry.com/f68/que...ext-msg-93291/

[adz595]

yeah its data usage.

I use IM+ as it includes msn, yahoo and aim... much more convenient

I just downloaded aim on to my BB but when i click sign in, it says "service not enabled for this handheld". what is that?
