    Hi everyone,

    I am new to the blackberry and it seems that I cannot use BB messenger. I can send out friend requests but whenever someone adds me or tries to add me it says their request is pending and I never get the request.

    Add contacts by PIN number instead of e-mail. You can find your PIN by going to options>status...

    I have done that, I will send the request by PIN but when he accepts it it says I am still pending but I don't get the request. He has tried sending me one by PIN as well.

    General Directions:


    You need to have the PIN number of the person you want to add as a contact.


    Try this: add contacts using PIN, not EMAIL


    Delete your pending requests. Tell the other parties to delete any pending requests from you.

    In BBM, hit add contact. If they're not in your address book go up to use once. HOVERING (highlight, not click) on use once, hit the menu button and select request by PIN. Then just type in the PIN and send request. If they are in your address book, HOVER (highlight, not click) over their name, hit the menu key and send a request using PIN that way.

    The contact must accept the request for it to be complete. Both devices must have data plans.

    Are you entering the other persons PIN into the add contact?

    I've run into this a few times, I find it's easiest to add them into your address book with their PIN and then send the request to their PIN, not email.

    I just got a blackberry and when I added a new contact it sent using my personal e-mail but I want to use my blackberry email. Is there a way to switch it so my blackberry email is being used for the messenger? Thanks

    Ensure your BIS account is setup and with the PIN and IMEI.

    I would also then call your wireless provider and tell them to re-add the feature.
