I tried this fix on my boss' 8700c phone but it will not allow us to update the Service book. From what I can tell the Service book is read only. Is there anyway to get around this issue? Could being on BES be part of the problem?

Hi sonnic, welcome to pinstack. Your BES admin could be blocking you from this. Have you checked with them?

cp,

I am able to use yahoo on my 7250 (Verizon). A co-worker has the 8700 (Verizon) that works as well. Can a BES admin be so specific that he allows Verizon to have access and write access but not Cingular ?

Well I did it and it worked like a charm. One thing I was worried about was losing all my other programs, data, settings, etc when doing a restore. Be assured that it did not do that, just added that service book, removed the other service books, but they were easily added and my BB was just like before except messenger works! Thx to all.

Excellent post. Works like a charm. Had none of the potential problems mentioned. Did not even have to hard boot

You da man Codymac. I have been waiting for a solution for months. Every Cingular Yim blackberry user here owes you for this.

This fix works fabulously on Cingular. But there is a new question. I know cingular uses yahoo but in sms (text messaging) fashion. With this yahoo service book does it use my blackberry unlimited data plan or am i wasting text messages to send my friends messages? Think I might want to keep an eye on my text messages on my bill for a few months.

I have tried twice and cant get it to work

( any ideas??? still being send to blackberry site...i am planning to return my phone in the morning and go open an acct with t-mobile...would really rather not though...

I also could not get it to install the first time. With my 8100 (pearl) hooked to my pc I downloaded the first link to the yahoo IM software on the Blackberry site. After clicking download it installed it for me. I didn't even have to reload anything. It just worked. Give that a try!

I am also courious about the data plan question. Does anyone know if this (using yahoo IM) is being counted against the data plan or the text message plan?

Thanks for everyone's help on this forum! What a god send

steedtek · #29 01-19-2007 -

BB's Yahoo IM is data plan, not SMS.

I messed with the insanity of Yahoo all day (t-mobile). Tier 2 tech support seemed clueless. I just installed JiveTalk and am a very happy camper. Screw those individual products - JT is functional, that's all I need. Plus it will keep me open on all of the clients at the same time. Nice.
