Want to update my OS from 4.6.1.250 to 5.0.0.900 but I get an error message

I went to sync my blackberry to me laptop it showed that there was a device software update available.  When I went to upload, I got a message saying that only active service subscribers can download the update.  How do I go about doing that and how do you know if you're an active service subscriber or not?
Solved!

There are hundreds of carriers in the world with dozens of data plans each. It's impossible to know exactly what services you should or should not have...and that includes this new requirement for an adequate data plan to use the 5.0 OS levels. Hence, you do need to contact your wireless service provider for formal assistance.
Good luck!
