Hey,
i bought a blackberry curve 8250 on saturday,
When i went on Instant messenger, i clicked on bbm, then add contacts, got a couple of friends' pins, added them, but they didn't receive any requests,
so they sent it to me, and i didn't get theirs?
So i deleted it, (I forgot how i did it)
then downloaded blackberry apps world, and downloaded it again, and it says my name at the top, says im avaliable,
but it says; contacts (0)
Blackberry groups (0)
pending (12) - I've stopped trying to add people.
So please explain?
I'm on a vodafone contract, but i bought the phone on pay as you go, and inserted my chip into the phone, - and im using wifi as my contract doesn't cover internet plans,
would that be a problem?

Thanks

Yes, you need a BlackBerry Data Plan to use BBM.

When i bought the actual phone, it came with a sim card, which already has £20 topup, and if i top up £10 a month, i get 300 texts+internet
It'd work on that sim?

No, it won't work right now. You need a BlackBerry Data Plan.
You need to call your wireless provider and subscribe to that service, if they permit that on a pre-paid SIM.
