    I have a bb z10 and up until yesterday my bbm was working fine but now for some reason when i try messaging certain contacts mostly android contacts it comes up with a red cross even though they can message me. I have tried deleting and re adding, and I've pulled out my battery and restarted yet it still continues not to work

    HELP!!

    Welcome to CrackBerry! What's your carrier and what's your contact's carrier? I can message and receive on my Android and BB?

    I'm on o2 and I don't know what my contacts are but it only seems to be android contacts that I can't reply to yet they can message me. I think a few people are having the same problem. I tried talking with o2 and they were absolutely useless and couldn't even understand anything I was saying.

    Been like this for 3days now, and O2 are as helpful as a chocolate fireguard.

    Yes they are!! I tried talking to a GURU online and all I got was delete my contacts and read them but he meant phonebook contacts and didn't listen one bit, not only that he wasn't even English and couldn't speak very fluent so I couldn't make much sense of what he was saying. I know other people on o2 and they're not having this problem :s

    I have a Samsung gs3 and I love my bbm...but it has stopped working after I did a bbm update last night. Hopefully they fix the issue soon, my whole family relies on bbm to communicate (3 Samsung gs3's & 2 ipnohe 5's all on AT&T)

    Zocster none of my BBM accounts are working - iOS, Android, Z on AT&T.

    I just tried on BES with VZW on my 9930 and it didn't go through, just clock.

    Edit - BES goes through now. Bit delayed.

    BBM from wife's MotoX on Rogers working sporadically to not at all to Bell Z10 this morning. Seems like a more widespread issue. I saw some iphone users with similar issues.

    It's ridiculous that BlackBerry still can't get BBM to work reliably.

    There is no excuse.

    Whole no messaging program is perfect, I've had more reliability issues with BBM in a few weeks than an entire decade with simple SMS.

    BlackBerry...if you can't solve this ASAP you're history.

    And hey guys.....there are outages everywhere. This was a few hours. And you had the option of email or SMS.

    Why so many are so apologetic for shoddy service maybe explains why BlackBerry is getting away with such shoddy service. Been a user for over a decade... when BlackBerry's claim to fame was reliability and security.

    Tell me one communication company that has not had an outage.

    This is not like the days outage that crippled phones a couple of years ago. This was a few hours and you could still use your device.

    No sorry I'm at a loss as well, I called O2 again and they say is definitely not a carrier problem after checking data settlings. The guy laughed when I mentioned BBM, said he didb
    Nt know anybody still used BBM. He didn't even know it is available on android and IOS, and suggested Idownload what's app. BlackBerry need to get the info into the carriers and then we will really see it take off. Well once they fix the connection errors.

    Such willingness to accept poor performance (and believe me... BBM is less reliable than most other messaging apps) is maybe part of the reason BB is being laughed at by the rest of the industry... as others have experienced.

    NO EXCUSES!
