Hello.
I was having a hard time seeing.

I have 2 phones.
What is the best way to manage use for them.
Is the only thing I need to log into bbm? Can I still use app store? I just don't know the best way to manage this or is it worth my time?

Thank you

Are you using them both yourself? With the same phone number? Separate phone numbers? Same BBID? Need more info.

I'm sorry if this is a hot topic
I appreciate your time
I have a Q and a Z

One sim card, one contract
Both phones are mine

Thank you folks.

You can still use the app store and download apps, I have a q10 and my z10 and can use both at the same time with emails, bbworld etc, only have to log into BBM when switching between the two and yes the same BBID

Okay, well clearly you will not be using them both at the same time. Just pop the sim in from one phone to the other as far as the carrier is concerned.

For the BBID - you did not mention if you were using the same one. If you do you will only be able to use the apps from that account on one phone at a time and you will have to switch it in BB Appworld so they know what phone you are using to use the same apps and I think there is a limited number of times you are allowed to move it before they start getting pissy about it. This will avoid you from having to rebuy apps and your BBM buddies will follow you everywhere.

If, however, you plan to swap on a daily basis you might want to create two separate BBID's (one for each phone) but then you would have to essentially buy two licenses for apps if they are a must and cost money.

I really appreciate you taking the tine to reply and explain this too me!!

I did not consider 2 Seperate bbids thats very interesting, so 2 profiles and would just have to buy apps twice if I wanted on each, not really too bad...

I expected to use the same one between the 2 phones
and only swap the carrier sim

What is the more common way people are doing this out there?

Thanks!

You can use the same BBID on both phones but not at the same time. BB Appworld may have changed as I only use one phone at a time but usually you have to put in the PIN of the new phone you are using and it transfers all the apps over to the new phone. You'd have to do that each time you swap unless they've changed that part. Test it out

You can use the app world on more than one device with the same BBID anytime. If you already bought a paid app then you use can that app or game on both phones. Some apps like bbm you can only use on one phone at a time.

Yes you all to do is swap the sim and use the same bbid
But when you switch device you will lost your bbm chat history

[darkhawk]

Well chat history is not a thing I worry about.
Am a zero inbox kind of guy. Haha

Thank you.

Ideally I think same bbid would be more what I want now that I understand it. Since I have spent a lot on apps for both phones. But with a second id I could do some different things.

Hay thanks again!
