Is it Free to use BB messenger.....?
- I've been told that it is completly free to use BB messenger with other Blackberry users. Does it depend on the carrier? Rogers told me since I have a data plan and not a text plan that they will charge me per use when I text. My issue with Rogers is that I can ask 10 different people and get 10 different answers from Rogers, so I figured I would ask some folks who know. Any thoughts?06-15-09 08:15 PMLike 0

- It's free if you have a data plan, I do it in the US, UK and France and never get charge anything because BBM uses data but you both need to have a Blackberry with a data plan.06-15-09 08:19 PMLike 0

BlackBerry Messenger is only used with other BlackBerry owners. That is part of you data plan.
I hear you, the Rogers/Fido CSR's are working from scripts. The answer you get depends on how the CSR understands your question. Unfortunatly, the heavy Canadian English or French accent tends to introduce some confusion in the India call center.06-16-09 11:41 AMLike 0 - I've been told that it is completly free to use BB messenger with other Blackberry users.

That being said, you can only actually USE BB Messenger when you have a proper Blackberry plan, otherwise it should be non-functional. For instance, I have the $25 BB messaging value pack which includes unlimited messaging of all kinds including SMS, MMS, IM and BB Messenger.
You might want to call into Rogers to make sure you have a proper Blackberry plan - this happened to me, the rep told me it was fine when actually it wasn't and I was getting charged for data.06-16-09 12:42 PMLike 0
