    Hi all!!! Ok, so I�ve read several threads on the subject of tmo and getting rid of the data plan on the Pearl, thus now NO picture messages! I can�t send, I can�t receive� I can�t even send a text to an email addy!!! Is there a definitive answer and or fix for this? I go to retrieve a pic message or fwd (where it USED to just arrive without issue) and it just �sits n spins� without ever arriving�. What gives?
    Sheesh, even my old Nokia could handle all of this without an outside data plan! Don�t get me wrong, I LOVE my BB (and will NEVER go back) but this has become annoying!!!

    Any help??? Thanks!

    FridayJonz,

    you need to have a message plan on your account otherwise you will be charged per text message and then for data used in the picture messages.
    tmobile should be able to help you maybe resend service books or re-register with thenetwork

    I had this same problem. You need to add the T-zones data on your BB. It's $5 extra, but it'll solve your problem.

    You need to call T-mobile and ask them to add the Blackberry Feature Enable. It will enable you to get picture messages and send them. Will take up to two hours to take effect after you call them.
