What exactly is blackberry messenger?

[adleyh2000]

I know it might be a dumb question but what exactly is the blackberry messenger? I know its like a Instant messenger, but is it only for people who have blackberries? Also how do you add people on it...do u have like certain usernames or something...

i dont have my blackberry yet so i kno it might be a dumb, jus curious cuz im getting mine today or tomorrow

yes, BBM is for BlackBerry to BlackBerry and uses data. To add people to your BBM you need their PIN number. The PIN number is a unique number assigned to each BB and can be found @ Options-Status.

oh thanks for the info, i should have searched before posting...my bad but thanks for the link...how many ppl do you have on your messenger? Is it fast like aim and yahoo?

[chrisy520]

i find that it is faster than AIM. it also shows you the status of your message. D for Delivered and R for Read.

i only have 3 people on my BBM. i only add people that i know "in real life." but there is a PIN sharing section here on crackberry so you can find people with similiar interests that want to be BBM friends! http://forums.crackberry.com/f51/

well, that's why you need to get on crackberry.com on your blackberry! you can just post a question on wap.crackberry.com from your device and get your answers!

Read through this thread! it's pretty helpful. The first thing to do is to go to wap.crackberry.com from your bb and instal the crackberry launcher!
