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.

  • 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,

    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.

  • Can't seem to get Blackberry messenger working on my phone 9300

    how do I get my bbm to work it says under connections that it is not activated but I have downloaded the bbm as an app on my phone?
    When I go to add someone's pin it just countinues to say waiting athorization, I have the most recent updates for my phone, plus I have tried wiping my phone back to factory settings and have repeated the process, I am with the carrier Fido if that helps, anyone knows that would be greatly appriciated. Thanks in advance.

    Greetings,
    Click anywhere on your desktop (your background)
    Go to the "Go" menu at the top of the computer screen
    Click on applications
    Look in this list, you should see "iPhoto"
    If you can't find iPhoto in the Applications folder (where its supposed to be) try searching the computer for it:
    Click anywhere on your desktop (your background)
    Go to File > Find
    Click on "This Mac" at the top
    Type in "iPhoto.app" in the search bar on the top right
    If iPhoto shows up, drag it from the window to your desktop and then open the Applications folder (as above) and drag iPhoto to applications and try to open it up.
    If you cannot locate iPhoto, then try to download it again from the Mac App Store (Apple > App Store).  Please report any error messages you encounter verbatim.
    Hope that helps.

  • LiveProfile is now available in the Android Market - BlackBerry Messenger BBM Alternative

    LiveProfile is available in the Android Market for those interested. LiveProfile is a mobile messenger for Android, BlackBerry, and iPhone devices. It supports BBM-like messaging and many great features which I am sure you will enjoy. Try it out let me know what you think.

    Sorry ankush8 but that's not true. All the BB services can work over wifi as long as the carrier allows you to do so. of course, you have to have a BB data package.

  • HELP! How to get BlackBerry 10.1 on your BlackBerry Z10

    Hello,
    I got the BlackBerry Z10 since a week and now I wanted to update it to the BlackBerry 10.2 Beta version. But the version is really bad and now I'd like to change back to BlackBerry 10.1. I downloaded the version 10.1 and wanted to install it but when I turn my phone back on there's a msg 'BlackBerry dev alpha update had ended...' any my phone wouldn't start anymore. I tried hard reset but nothing works...got BlackBerry 10.2 back on now.
    Please help me!!!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    OK thanks...let's see if I've understood.
    1) You first attempted the OS Upgrade (which actually does not apply to your situation) by
    Removing your SIM card
    Disabling Location Services
    Then conducted the 11 steps
    At what step did it fail? And what was the exact and complete error message presented?
    2) Next, as described in the post, you
    Launched Link and connected your device
    Selected "Reload Device Software"
    What was the exact and complete error message presented please?
    3) Finally, you followed the 11 steps, but somewhere along the way something went wrong...is there any way for you to be more exact in your description? What step number? What was the exact and complete error message presented?
    As you can see, I've not needed any "specific words"...all I've done is cite from the post I linked you to, so as to try and elicit details that will be useful...
    Thanks and let us know!

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    See this for reference:
    http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/What_do_I_need_a_Data_Plan_for%3F
    With hundreds of carriers in the world each with dozens of different data plans, it's impossible for us to answer what services you should or should not have. But, typically, Pay-Go plans don't include the services you are attempting to use. But, only your carrier can answer for sure. Contact them.
    Good luck!

  • BlackBerry Messenger and Mac

    My Father has a blackberry and he sent me a link to download the blackberry messenger so we can talk via my computer and his blackberry, but you can only download it with internet explorer, and I don't have that on my Mac, obviously, so does anyone know any other way to get that same program, or one that will work, on my computer?

    Maybe I'm not understanding this correctly but from what I get Blackberry Messenger is a IM client for the phone itself and not a chat client for the computer. You however will need IE on Windows because it uses Active-X controls.
    Your Father should be able to install it directly to the Blackberry (by choosing the correct client you want to use as a chat platform ie. Yahoo, Google Talk, AOL etc.).
    At least that's what I understand it to be. It's for his phone. You shouldn't have to download anything unless you want to use a chat client you don't already have.
    Correct me if I'm wrong though.

  • Accidentally Moved Blackberry Messenger Into Wrong Folder - How Do I Move Back?

    Hi Guys, I accidentally moved Blackberry Messenger into the SMS and MMS Folder instead of just moving the icon around.
    Please advise how I move it out of this folder and back to the Home Screen?
    Thanks,
    PETER

    Scroll to the icon > press the Menu key > Move to Folder > and choose which one you would like it put in, Home Screen, if that is where you want it.
