To PING someone is to alert them.

While in BBM, hit menu then Options and you can set whether your phone will vibrate when PINGed.

If i wanted to alert somebody, why wouldn't i just say what I wanted to alert them about?
I just don't understand the point of the 'ping' feature.

i have my BBM sounds on silent. i don't like it sounding a tone every time i get a message in conversation. So i like it to vibrate to alert me when someone wants to chat.



Otherwise, i agree, you could just send them a messege to alert them.
