Mobile is off , can I still receive BBM messages ?

Hello Guys,

if i leave a message in bbm and the device is off, will the messages appear when the BB is turn on?

and how many days are the BBM messages are being stored if the device is off ?

Thanks in advance.

Hello, welcome to CB!

Yep, once you turn the device back on... it will still be there (the way you left it...) Regarding the timeline for how long the messages will keep I believe is a factor of free memory remaining, RAM. There should be an option to save chat history (if you so desire)

Also, update your profile information, location, carrier, device etc. This will help users give more specific responses, depending on your problem/question! Cheers.

BBM messages remain after turning your device off. They last until you delete the msg, wipe your device, or clean install a different OS.

Thank you for your reply.

I think I might asked a wrong question ... I will try to explain again..

The Case:
I have send some messages to another BBM User while his mobile is off.

My question:
if that user switched on his BB after 7 days for example , will he be able to receive those messages ?
for how long the BB servers will keep sending these messages?

Another Q

If I sent some messages to someone while he switching off his phone, then I removed that user .... will he be able to get my messages ?

Are you talking about offline messages?

Sent from my BlackBerry 9900

Yes offline messages

If I lost my mobile , and I switched to a new device with same Pin and everything ... would i be able to receive the old offline messages

to the first Q. yes, when the person switches on his phone the messages will be there to see

I don't have a definitive answer for you but I like your way of thinking OP! Very interesting questions!

Are you asking, in other words, "Will I be able to use BBM via wifi?"

No JR A

I think bbm works similar to text in that it will show up when you turn it on, I don't know how many days it can be held it's an interesting question.

I think with BIS it may just be like an account so that it is held and then pushed to the phone as normal;

the new ones Idk since there's no more BIS but you can use it by wifi so it may be like a hidden email inbox now.

I'd probably ask RIM support directly on their website.
