    BBM contacts are linked to your BBID, you don't need anything to get them.

    You enter your BBID during setup and 1st thing when you launch BBM for the first time, it will load up contacts and groups.

    If you do a security wipe, you can start over and give it a try.

    You can't load them from backup, what you need to do is to sign up on your Z10 with the same BBID and start BBM, you get a message asking you if you want to switch your Device just confirm and you will get all your old contacts :-)

    As posted by the others, you just need to log in your BlackBerry ID which you used in your old BlackBerry device. BBM contacts should appear automatically.

    For all other data, you can use BlackBerry Link.

    Good luck.

    Here is the deal:

    You have to update your BBM app on the legacy device to the version that actually suports backups via BBIDs BEFORE you go to BlackBerry10, else, you're FUBAR. Excuse my language.

    If you don't and for whatever reason wipe your legacy device, your BBM list will be lost.

    So please keep your apps updated.
