    I have Blackberry with a pay as you go plan. I can't seem to connect to BBIM. I have the application on the phone and can open it, but I can't add any contacts. Having said that, I am currently using an unlocked Blackberry with a SIM card (meaning I bought a Blackberry without buying a BB-specific data plan or anything else), so I'm not sure if that's the root of the problem.

    A BB must have a BIS or BES plan to function correctly. Email, BBM, several third party apps all require access to the RIM servers.

    Yes you must have a data plan in order to use it. So if you can surf you can BBM.
