The Unofficial Speak Out Wireless Canada Consumer Page - Topic: BBM & Pin https://www.speakoutwireless.ca/speak/phone-features/bbm-pin/ Simple:Press Version 5.7.5.3 Jamesey on BBM & Pin https://www.speakoutwireless.ca/speak/phone-features/bbm-pin/#p15543 Phone/Device Issues and Features https://www.speakoutwireless.ca/speak/phone-features/bbm-pin/#p15543 BlackBerry Messenger requires access to RIM's BlackBerry Internet Service. And that requires a subscription. A standard data plan is not sufficient to use BIS - your telco needs to register your handset with RIM and they pay a monthly subscription fee to RIM. SpeakOut does not offer this service.

I have tried several times to pin someone to no avail. I don't think BBM works without a data plan. Can someone confirm this?

As for the PIN, When manufactured, each BlackBerry device is assigned a unique personal identification number (PIN). This allows identification of each BlackBerry and ensures that mail destined for a particular individual is delivered correctly.

Often comments in electronically posted ads note that the "BBM works and the pin is free". What is the BBM? What is the pin?
