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

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.

  • 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 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.......

    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: 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*

  • 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!

    regards.

    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.

  • How to add company/online contacts (Google) on LG Spectrum 2?

    Hi,
    I have latest OS version 4.1.2.  On other phones such as Droid Razr M, Bionic, Galaxy Nexus, they have the standard People app which connects to my company's business Gmail account and I can easily search for an employee who is currently not in my local contacts and easily add them.  With LG Spectrum 2, it was possible to do this (even though this phone does not have the blue People app), with the older OS version.  There was an option that you checkmark to enable Online Search for contacts.  With this new OS, after enabling this feature, it takes you to a Microsoft Exchange page where you enter username and password.  Our company does not have Exchange accounts, we login through Google.  Only way I can do it now is to add a contact on my laptop and let it sync over to the phone, this is very annoying.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

        Good morning pylonforge.
    I can imagine how frustrating it is to try to use your phone as you're supposed to be able to; however, it shuts down instead. Let's get your new Spectrum 2 working how its supposed to be!
    When did this start happening? Do you notice any pattern, such as, when you're using another app, or you're on a call, or listening to music, etc.? For now, please try clearing memory: http://vz.to/15zpYyL Once this is completed, please remove SIM card and battery for 30 seconds, then put back together and power back on. Let's see if this helps at all.
    Clearing memory is like clearing cache on your PC; therefore, your apps won't be deleted and the phone will still be set up as you have it.
    Please keep us posted.
    Thanks

    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.

  • How to add descriptions to contact email

    I was able to get my contact page to work. The received email
    contains the info inputed ONLY. How can I add a description in
    front of the info received in the email? Is this done through the
    contact page, the submit action or main action?
    thanks!!!

    For instance, when someone goes on to the contact page and
    fills in the "Your Name" field and enters, "John Doe", I receive in
    the email, "John Doe"
    How can I set it so that the email will read, "Your Name:
    John Doe"
    thanks..

  • HT4759 How to add group to contacts.

    How d you add a group to your contacts in IPhone?  Group is confirmed as contact on PC but group does not sync with IPhone 5.

    I would suggest that you do it with drag and drop via the web browser on your Mac/PC (www.icloud.com), because you cannot do it on your iPhone with existing contacts.

  • 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.

  • How to get BlackBerry Messenger/BBM?

    I'm on a PAYG service which doesn't include 3G at all. I heard from someone that you have to pay £5 extra a month to get BBM, but I don't know who to pay or if that's even true? If I get a plan which includes 3G internet, will my BBM automatically work?

    If you get a plan that includes a proper BlackBerry data plan (also known as BIS or BlackBerry Internet Service), then BBM will work on it.
    You'll have to call your carrier to get that set up.
