First off, make sure that the contact you are trying to add has a BlackBerry AND has a data plan. If the contact does have a BlackBerry with a data plan, they won't get the request and it won't work.

The preferred method of adding contacts is via the BlackBerry PIN number. You can find this information by going to Options > Status. Once you have the contact's PIN number, go to BlackBerry Messenger, press the menu key, then select Add Contact. Scroll to the top and highlight the option that says [Use Once]. Press the menu key and select Request Using PIN. Type in the PIN number and press the track ball to continue. This should send the request to the other user.
