i'm new to the world of crackberries, but i got a 7130e from work and i'm wondering is there a way to send regular text messages to other types of phones, like you can with regular cell phones.

Find the name in your address book, click on the number and choose SMS.

Are you on BES from your work? Do you have a policy that won't let you send SMS messages?
