Does anyone know where I can get an MMS service book with out paying for the intenet plan? Right now my Pearl Does not even list MMS in the Options menu.
You can not load service books without having them come from your service provider or RIM themselves...you have to suck it up and pay the $29.99 to AT&T (lowest plan avail) to get the MMS service books.
OK but why do I not have the option to send a MMS text. I mean I don't have the BB plan so I can't send e-mails but I still have the option to, same with BB messenger. the only place I find MMS in my phone is in the help section.
