Free texts & emails with Blackberry?

Options
I have been told that if you have a Blackberry you can text or email another person with a Blackberry for free any where in the world. Can this be true?

    Sorry for the short and sweet answer, but NO...
    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

    Somebody gave me a used Blackberry 8300 and I don't think it works with PAYG. It appears you can only use it with a contract.

    Looks like I will have to sell it!
