Start by changing you password. Possible you account was hacked. Then scan for malware. Possible malware is sending the messages or malware is stealing your password. Then if you find malware after you get rid of the malware change the password again on the assumption that it may have stolen the new password. (The reason to change your password immediately is in case your password was tolen though other means than malware.

Can anyone tell me if this phone can go online? I do not want to assume....

It says:

Data service: Even More plans

There is a required data service for this phone: Unlimited Web.

We’ll add the Unlimited Web option to your cart automatically when you choose an Even More plan.

So I would assume that is going online.

I was afraid it just needed that for the email. I wish it just said, under features, web browsing. Oh well.

Sophia there was just an article in the nytimes personal tech section about less-fancy more-cheap "smartphones", you might want to look at?

I had one from Virgin that was awesome, btw, and super cheap for both the phone and the access plan. Until I dropped it in a puddle. So I don't recommend that.

That one is actually free if I re-up my contract... and it is red...

I'm ignorant in general about smart phones, but I thought all Blackberries were web capable.

I'm really bummed about that. Bloglines is my reader. I tried Google Reader and I don't find it as easy to use.
