Since BBM relies on Blackberry's BIS but also on your phone network, and also on some other factors, it really is best to contact your network's customer care with some of the issues you are describing. In addition, your data allowances may vary, so you cannot expect anyone here to answer related questions without spelling out all pertinent details. Ring your customer care!!! (usually the cc number is included on your SIM) ONCE your customer care confirmed that your BB is set up on their end, you can ask here for additional info. We end up talking in circles, if you do not take the first step of making sure your network has set you up correctly. We also cannot say how much data you are allowed if you do not say what kind of contract or add-on you have; on what network etc etc... Sorry. Not trying to brush you off. You are most welcome
