Can you delete BBM?

**headshot** · 07-12-2009, 07:36 PM

I have never and will never use it (I think). Is it part of another program that supports another program etc.. All I use is the phone, SMS texting, MMS and emails. Does it have anything to do with sending pin# messages etc.. or any other program?

No nothing to do with PIN to PIN messaging. You can delete it like this:

Options>advanced options>applications, find it, hit menu and "delete"

very sad to hear people think bbm is useless. the new bbm is super awesome.

why bother with a blackberry then if you dont pin to pin message?

just get a nokia e71...much better in general.

You should try it before you delete it

**IMTHTG** · 07-14-2009, 02:03 PM

I agree! I deleted mine before, then started to get all these request for BBM and didn't know that it was for BBM. I have allot of people (friends) that I chat with all the time on BBM.. Great messaging tool by RIM...

bbm is one of the best things on the blackberry .. just keep ,, try it ... and if u didnt like it delete it

If you don't have unlimited texts and have a lot of friends that have blackberries then bbm is a great way to save on texts since you are using data when messaging people through bbm.

Wow. This is a first. And I'm not saying this to be a ****, but who has a BB and doesn't use BBM?

It's so convenient and fun to have when messaging anyone else with a BB.

I guess if you're COMPLETELY sure you'll NEVER use it go ahead and delete it, but I don't see how you couldn't. I'd be lost without it.

You can do PIN to PIN messaging without BBM.

I personally am not a fan of BBM. At all. But I wouldn't delete it in case my ONE (too many.....) BBM contact gets in touch.

**joe.kent** · 07-14-2009, 10:34 PM

You can hide it...

Well...here's a second! I never use it. I have no reason to. No one I know uses it so I have no contacts to add. I have my FB, MSN, & GTalk contacts all coming thru Palringo.

Not using BBM is more common than the people here tend to make it seem.

I don't have any friends or family who use a blackberry either. Unchecked it when I upgraded the OS.

It's hard to "try it" when all I'd do is message myself.

**andrewwwww** · 07-15-2009, 12:58 AM

MSN is what I use, there's hardly enough people I know of with BB where I could make use of BBM.

**bigbe** · 05-14-2010, 01:29 PM

I have no use for BBM. I don't know anyone with a Blackberry except my mother-in-law. Enough said, right? Now if that were to change and more of my friends aquired Blackberry's then I'd change my position. From what I've read it is a very useful tool with lots of features not found in other IM ap's
That is my 2 cents worth if anyone cares
