Blackberry Messenger: Contact Pending

ok, so I figured out how to get the PIN and send an inventaion to a friend for the Blackberry Messenger. Here's my problem... I have sent multiple invitations to my friend and he has sent multiple to me over the last couple of days, but for some reason when I open the application he is still listed as pending and neither he or myself has recieved the invitaion to actually accept it.
Any tips or tricks to assist me with this issue would awsome!!! Thanks

I double and even triple checked the PIN's from both phones and they are correct.
First I opened the the BBMessenger App. and scrolled down to contact and clicked on the track ball, from there I was sent right to my address book. I then scrolled down to my buddies name and hit the track ball again, this is when I recieved the Invitation notice to send to his phone. Unfotunatley the invite hasn't been received and he is still pending
Also, the reason I entered the PIN manually into his conact info on my is because originally when I was in the BBMessenger App and I would try to add a contact I would be sent to the address book. From there I would scroll down to his name and hit the track ball, his number would then come up and I hit the track ball again. A small menu opens that list: Edit, Delete, Send to Messenger Contact, & Full Menu. When I click on Send to Messneger another window opens that states: Select a Contact: *Empty*

  • Adding Blackberry Messenger Contacts

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to add Blackberry Messenger contacts to my new Blackberry 8330.  When I select "add a contact" - it brings me to my address book - I then highlight the person I want - and I select "send to messenger contacts" - and then a "select a contact" window pops up and says "empty"  It won't let me add anyone - does not ask for the contacts e-mail address or anything.  What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks for any help you can provide

    I just checked on my BB BOLD 9900, and the contacts are all located inside the CONTACT of the phone, I can not add any directly into the BBM, but I can make any contact part of the BBM by using the Invite to BBM in the menu, so since the BBM contact are in the CONTACT of the phone they are backed up, but they may need to be re-invited after the restore is completed

  • How to add BlackBerry Messenger Contacts?

    I recently purchased the BlackBerry 8300 World Edition phone and found the online tutorial to be quite useful.  Unfortunately, I find myself stomped because I want to add contacts so that I can commence conversations on the BlackBerry Messenger network.  Can anyone advise how to add contacts and send a message to them?
    Regards,
    Babb
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    In Addition:
    Once the invite is accepted, they will show up in your contacts list once you open BB Messenger.  To start a conversation, just click on the selected person and start typing.(the typing window appears at the bottom).  You can also send files between contacts.  It's a cool little program.  I use it more than I thought I would.

  • How can I change the name of a blackberry messenger contact that shows on my screen?

    Need help!! I've got a blackberry 8310 model and I don't know how to change the contact name for my messenger contacts to a nickname or ANYTHING or than the 'friendly names' that messenger seems to magically assign them.......
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Highlight the contact (don't click on or open it) > Menu > Contact Info, and edit or add what you want to call them.
    What you see is what that contact entered as their name they wanted you to see.

  • Blackberry messenger contacts

    I hae a blackberry 8900 Can anyone tell me how do I remove contacts from Blackberry messenger please?
    Thank you

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    With BBM open and the contact you want to delete highlighted, click the BBKey...on the menu should be a "Delete Contact" selection.
    Good luck and let us know!

    Hey zzzshan,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    Try restarting the BlackBerry® Curve™ 8900 smartphone by removing the battery and placing it back in.  Then attempt to restore your BBM™ contacts again.  Have you created any backups using BlackBerry® Desktop Software?
    I look forward to your reply.
    Cheers.

    Well, actually you can speak to a support professional...but only by following your contractually-required support model. All front-line support for BlackBerry devices starts with the mobile service providers, that original places of purchase, or authorized service centers. It varies by region and issue, but you should have received, at your time of purchase (for both the device as well as your services) instructions as to how to seek formal support. If you did not receive such instructions, then shame on the seller, for it was their responsibility to provide that to you.

  • Blackberry Messenger Contacts Not Working

    Hi I recently bought my blackberry curve 8520 from Phones4u on Orange and put in my old Orange simcard from my old phone. I have updated bbm but whenever I add someone it is constantly pending and whoever I sent it to does not get a request, also no one can send me a request. Is this something to do with needing a blackberry data plan because I don't know if I have one or how to get one if I don't! This is not a one-off because my friend recently bought the EXACT same phone from Phones4u on Orange and they are having the exact same problem, however they kept the new simcard in. Please help!

    Welcome to the forums.
    Do you have  BlackBerry data plan on your line?  You must have a BlackBerry data plan and not any other type of data plan to use BBM.

  • Blackberry Messenger: Cannot receive message from one contact only

    I have been using Blackberry messenger since a few months ago. It has been working fine until 3 weeks ago that it stopped working with only one of my contacts:
    I message with my friend every day and out of the blue one day I can't receive any messages from him anymore, and all the messages I send to him would only turn to "d" status even he's read them already (and he'd appear as away on my contact list with a little clock next to the smiley... messages never turn to "R").
    My handheld is on a BES and his isn't. I am in the US and he is in Europe. Not sure if that's the reason... but I have other contacts that are either on or not on the same BES and there's no problem with them. He also has contacts that are in the US as well and doesn't have any problem with them either...
    We have tried battery pull, shortening name, deleting and re-adding and no luck.
    Can any one please help? Thanks!

    Welcome Tiramisucat; I have the same problem and a few others share your frustration.  There is one BB user who reported today that he finally fixed his problem with the assistance of RIM.  You can read about his experience in the following thread BlackBerry Support Community Forums : Smartphones : BlackBerry 8300 Series Smartphone - BlackBerry Curve : Re: PENDING blackberry messenger contact.

  • BlackBerry Messenger version 7.0.1.23 Fault

    I have a BlackBerry 9360 (3G, Wi-Fi), 7.1 bundle 1717 (v7.1.0.569, Platform 9.6.0.86), BlackBerry Messenger version 7.0.1.23
    The team originally had the version of BlackBerry OS 6 operating system, for months to upgrade to the latest available for the team that is the Blackberry OS 7.1.
    Apparently the problem started when upgrading BlackBerry Messenger to the latest version (7.0.1.23), I installed it through the BlackBerry App World for my team.
    The team has about 6 months of use working perfectly, until recently that within BlackBerry Messenger application does not update the profile picture. I tried everything to fix it, between this I:
    1. Off and removed the battery long enough, the problem is solved partly because after the smart phone turns on the changing profile picture (but only sometimes), and when it does, it only once since before a second consecutive update the problem recurs, have to repeat the procedure.
    2. I deleted and reinstalled the application without any success.
    3. Reset the entire smart phone and reinstalled all applications again, without success.
    4. I've used all sorts of different connections (including 3G, 2G, Wifi) and in all alike the same problem.
    5. registered the BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network, and also sent the service books through the application of e-mail settings on your smartphone. (Without success)
    I would like to help me find a solution without resorting to absurd solutions like:
    1. delete all contacts and add them one by one again, since I have 300 contacts! and that's not humanly possible, also a risk that after adding back the problem recurring.
    2. get the battery every time you want to change my profile picture, (I do not buy a phone to get the battery every time you change a simple photo)
    3. nor reset the phone, update or delete the application because as I said I already did and did not solve the problem.
    otherwise I can not back up my contacts and I have the latest version of MSN BB and this does not bring this option, since all contact data is automatically saved in the cloud of my ID.
    *** At first I thought it was just a glitch in the profile picture, but then I realized that after pulling off the battery did not keep him to publishing the names of my contacts, and the contacts reappeared I had removed, ie there is a problem with the transmission of data from my device to my cloud data of my ID, ie these are not synchronized properly and changes made by me (as the profile picture and editing contacts) not saved, strangely I have no problem with sending messages from my contacts in BlackBerry Messenger, I can normally chat with them, nor do I have a problem with any other application or with the transmission and receipt of data from the device. ***
    Aja?, Now tell me, I do?

    Hi Fanfan514
    Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums
    If you're having problem with recent update , you can try reinstalling it again cleanly , but first  On your Homescreen Go to Options > Device Application Management > Locate and delete BlackBerry Messenger from there.
    KB10040  :  How to view or remove installed application on a blackberry smartphone
    After deleting perform a battery pull restart by removing the Battery while is device is POWERED ON , wait a min. then re-insert it back . let your device takes a long reboot , finally from your BlackBerry Browser browse to  www.blackberry.com/bbm and download  the most recent version available for your device .After reinstalling see if that helps 
    Please Note : 
    If you're having BBM7 then your BBM Contacts are integrated with your BlackBerry ID , after installing when you login with your BlackBerry ID your Contacts will be restored back , but if you're having any previous persion then first do a local backup , you can backup in your Media card, refer to this KB for further  help:

  • Why can't I open my BlackBerry Messenger?

    I'm having this problem with my BlackBerry. I don't know why I can't open my BlackBerry Messenger. I've tried to plugged out the battery and put it back in but still, I can't open my BlackBerry Messenger. So I did it repeatedly but I can't still open my BlackBerry Messenger. I read all about it on the internet and all they suggested is to back-up the BlackBerry Messenger contacts and upgrade the BlackBerry Messenger. I'd like to do that but how can I back-up my BlackBerry Messenger contacts when I can't even open my BlackBerry Messenger? So I tried downloading the BlackBerry Desktop Software. I connect my phone to it and I clicked on "Back up now". And now it's saved in my documents. But my question is, now that (I think) I've backed up all of my data, can I delete my BlackBerry Messenger and install/upgrade it and still have all my contacts? PLEASE REPLY ASAP.

Please help me.You need to resolve that part...reloading the app and trying nothing else does nothing to solve why it has been blocked at the servers. I recommend you try this...
    With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):

If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.3) RebootWith power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support...only they can look at their network to determine why it's not properly communicating with your device.
    Good luck!

    Since you just upgraded it, please try instead removing and then reinstalling BBM fresh and clean. Be sure to first backup (locally) your contacts:

    You may also, if you are a member of any groups, want to back those up as well using a selective Desktop Software Backup:
