I seem to be having some problems with my BB messanger. How do you add someone and how is BB messenger better than TXT???
Also I can't txt a picture mail
How do you do it ? It routes me back to BB messenger and then when I click on add it takes me to my address book and then I click on someone in my address book to add and it says send to messenger contact and there is only one name in my contact and I can't add.

Things I am trying to do

1. add contacts to messenger - can you add non BB users?
2. Sending picture mail as txt
3. send picture mail to non BB users as txt

Anyone that can help I would be grateful. Those idiots at sprint are no help!!

bbm requires a data plan

1. only to bb users requires a pin only bbs have pin
2&3. you can send a pic through bbm but to send a pic through text you need mms

BB Messenger allows BB user to send messages for free!
U need the PIN# of the other BB user.

In ur address book there is a line to enter the pin #
1. No
2. Pic as txt is call MMS
3. Yes...MMS

Ok thanks and excuse my ignorance but what is MMS? Is there a link for that tutorial????

[jm2hill]

I don't believe sprint offers mms yet for bbs
but anyone feel free to tell me I am wrong?

I think you're right, only MMS with an OS upgrade.
MMS = Multimedia messaging service. (Picture and Video messages)

I think I just found that out on another blog but I will call sprint but they are totally clueless on BB

Sprint does not offer MMS. OS upgrades won't give you MMS either. Sprint has a problem with their routing.

1. You can also add a contact by hitting the menu key (while in BB messenger), then hit "Add A Contact...". Only BB's can be added to BB messenger.

2. & 3. You can send pics through BB messenger. Also, there is a work around for sending pics kind of like MMS: Select the pic that you want to send, hit "Send As E-mail", then send it to the person's # + their provider's MMS address.
Example, If I sent the pic to someone who's carrier is Sprint, it would look like this: [email protected]. Here is a list of some of the carrier addresses:

Sprint- #@Pm.Sprint.Com
Verizon- #@Vzwpix.Com
Cingular- #@Mms.MyCingular.Com
Us Cellular- #@Mms.Uscc.Net
T-Mobile- #@Tmomail.Net
Nextel- #@Messaging.Nextel.Com
Alltel- #@Message.AllTel.Com
BoostMobile: #@Myboostmobile.Com
VirginMobile: #@Vmobl.Com
