He can't get .bm to work

[bigdazz]

you have to phone your provider cost 5 pound a month buddy what network

[cheekychick]

i thought the point of it was that it didnt cost whats his BBM number? I could try it from here

[bigdazz]

5 pound a month with orang lets you bb all blackberry's its not free sad to say

[bigdazz]

BBM works through the BlackBerry internet BIS or BES. if you only have a "normal" internet plan you will not have access to BBM or PIN messages.

When I looked into it (just less than a year ago) on the O2 and Orange networks they did not have Blackberry service for pay as you go.

you could get him to try it via wifi, i dont get a signal at home, but i do use my BBM that way you'll know one way or t'other

unfortunatly the HUTCHISON 3G NETWORK DONT SUPPORT UMA so the wifi wont work properly . Also you need the 5 quid a month blackberry service put on ya talk plan as DAZ said because the internet is always on with a BB.
