Can I send a text message without PIN?

If anybody else knows anything about this, please jump in. Because my cdma has nothing of what he just mentioned. Is the gsm really that much different from cdma, that options are different?

Looks like there is a difference. Have five different BBs, dual mode, but running on gsm-all have service center number. Checked one of my Nokias on CDMA-it doesn't have a service center option. This Pinstack is a great place to learn. Would love to hear from other stackers

Whatever be the case, PIN or data service (for mms) not required for sms

My brother and I both have BB and while I occasionally text others, I can't text him.....he called his carrier and had SMS disconnected. Not everyone can send/receive SMS.

Either he has SMS disabled, has blocked you (carriers let you block specific numbers from calling/texting), or he has a corporate BlackBerry whose policy manager has restricted SMS.

My friend called AT&T Wireless and they told him that he's using a private line and that's why he can't send/receive SMS. The only way you would know is by calling the provider since the phone doesn't give you any type of error/warning when you send an SMS.

He has a corporate BlackBerry so I assume that dgburns' last post is correct.

Thanks for the info.
