Hello and welcome.

Do you have a BlackBerry Data Plan on your account?

Give your carrier a ring and tell them you want to add a Blackberry data plan to your account.

You need the BB data plan to get the proper service books for all of the RIM related services - email, BBM, Facebook, BB Browser, etc. A "normal" (a.k.a generic) data plan only gives you limited functionality.

Check the FAQ for "What do I need a data plan for".

And please update your profile to include your cell phone service provider. That helps in troubleshooting problems.

To get the Service Books that you've reaed about, you need a BlackBerry Data Plan, which is different than an Internet plan.
