I rarely ever use BBM, I have a lot of friends that have blackberries but they don't really use it either, if they need to contact me they just text instead of BBM

I prefer to use BBM just because it doesnt count towards your txt messages. But I do have a few friends who have a BB and dont use BBM, so to answer your question, no you are not the only person who doesnt use BBM

If you have a lot of friends with berries then you all should try it out. I bet you would like it better.
I never use bbm always text, some friends have berries and even my wife but there all on verizon so it does not matter how many I use. I think bbm is more of a pain cause with normal texts there all in 1 place.

Everyone I know with BB's will ALWAYS use BBM before SMS.
You don't have any if the limitations of SMS, and have a ton more options. With BBM I know whether they'll be responding immediately or if they're unavailable it may be a while. I can send my location on a map to them. I can update my contact info in their device automagically. Send pics, files, and voicenotes. Groupchat with multiple contacts. And more...
All correspondence is kept in a nice tidy format for easy retrieval.
I don't see why you'd SMS, rather than BBM. It allows you to check if your friend has received and read your messages.

Apparently this happens when sending Verizon to Verizon on some phones. I know my friends older Chocolate does it. I thought it was weird an cool all in the same.
As for using it, I do sometimes. I really only have about two or three friends with blackberries, so I don't get the chance much. I'd love it if more of my friends had BBs, especially the ones on Verizon, so we could just chat on BBM more. I don't, though.
I don't cause I don't know anyone else that has a bb. I don't have a texting plan either. I would use it if I knew anyone................. then again I'm a pretty quiet person.
I deleted it to free up memory. Huge memory hog and never used it. I have many professional colleagues that have BlackBerrys but very few of them that use BBM. Very few of my personal friends have BlackBerrys, so BBM is of little use.
