Blackberry Messenger Query

[Alias_ZA]

hey all,

Planning on getting a blackberry on my upgrade but i have a few questions that the MTN staff could not answer.

Can you use BB Messenger without the Blackberry Internet Service (BIS)?

I dont use that much data on my phone but i would like to use BBM, if i don't get BIS (Which is extra on my contract) can i still use the messenger? I know it uses your phone pin so surely this doesn't affect the use of BBM?

Thanks in advance.

Blackberry messenger relies on their PIN messaging system. No BIS means no access to their PIN/BB messaging.

There is little [read no] point getting a blackberry without BIS.
