 Here's something to try out  1. Open your Blackberry Messenger (5.0) 2. From the Menu, select "Scan a Group Barcode" 3. Camera applet launches, point the camera at the barcode  You will be added to this Huey networking IM application. |

Is that option available on the blackberry curve?
I am looking for the "scan group barcode" option on my curve and can not find it anywhere
I can only add contacts from entering their pin

have you tried it from the BB app store or go through Desktop Manager?
FWIW, messenger would never show up on my Bold (I had to access it by clicking the app hotkey and cycle through active programs on my device).
I tried it out this weekend and the active chat, updating/adding contacts, and file sharing was pretty useful.

kyle- How old is your curve?
I have an 8330....I was looking around on it and it said that I am running version 4.3 and I think you need 4.5 to get messenger v5.0

Without my BlackBerry and unlimited data plan, I wouldn't know 2/3 of what I learned the past two or three years from this site. It's great to read about coaching football during commercials, in homeroom before school, waiting in lines, etc.
EDIT: Forgot to say I joined the group!

Note to everyone that is having trouble getting into the group:
You must have operating system 4.5 or higher to download messenger 5.0. I have a curve that is about 2 years old and operates on 4.3 and therefore I can not get messenger 5.0.
I tried every avenue I could to try to get 5.0 and every time it brought me to the same error.
So unless someone who is more techy can tell me how to update my operating system those of us with older blackberrys will have to wait
