I have an unlocked T-MOBILE phone that I'm using for AT&T. I want to use AIM, but it keeps saying to go to www.blackberry.com/aim to register. When I go there, it tells me to download it through my phone. Problem is I can only use the Internet through a Wi-Fi connection because you can't configure the Internet from T-Mobile to AT&T... but all I want is an AOL INSTANT MESSENGER THAT USES SMS! How on earth do I get AIM on to my phone?!

What do you mean you can't configure internet from T-Mo to At&t????

Well, I went to the AT&T store today and they told me that when Blackberry makes the phone for its carriers, its made specifically for that carrier only. So, when I try to access my browser through the AT&T Internet (without a Wi-Fi connection), I can't. I can only use my browser when I'm on a Wi-Fi connection.

There full of crap... Have you tried sending AT&T service books to your blackberry

do you have a blackberry data plan? doesn't matter where you get your blackberry from, but what you need is a data plan from your carrier.

I'm new to the Blackberry world... so I don't even know what a service book is. How would I do that?

No. I don't really want one either because everywhere I go usually has Wi-Fi and its free if I use it. I asked the sales rep what would happen if I did get the data plan, and they said it wouldn't even make a difference because I don't have the AT&T Internet/browser configured into my T-Mobile 8320. I think we're all off track here though... How do I just get my freaking AIM to work! I tried everything. I even put in my friend's sim card that has a data plan to try to download it onto my phone, but it still says to go to blackberry.com/aim to activate handheld... and when I go THERE.. (on my phone).. there's no link to download it.
