mobile to mobile messaging with privacy,
as the iconic mobile social network, BBM
will begin rolling out for Android and
iPhone customers around the world .

BBM gives you a private social network
for active, real conversations with many
advantages including:
* It’s immediate. BBM is always on so you
are always connected. And because
messages on BBM are typically delivered
and read within seconds, it’s the closest
thing to a live conversation.
*You trust it. BBM always tells you that
messages are delivered and read. BBM
conversations come alive on a private
network you can count on.
*You control it. BBM allows you to choose
your contacts and how you share your
information. BBM uses a PIN so you don’t
have to give anyone your phone number
or email address.
“BBM is a very engaging messaging
service that is simple to use, easy to
personalize and has an immediacy that is
necessary for mobile communications,”
Andrew Bocking, Executive Vice President
for BBM at BlackBerry, said, adding that ,
“With more than a billion Android, iOS,
and BlackBerry smartphones in the
market, and no dominant mobile
messaging platform, this is absolutely the
right time to bring BBM to Android and
iPhone customers.”
BBM for Android and iPhone features:
With BBM chat, users will enjoy real,
immediate conversations with friends on
Android, iPhone and BlackBerry
smartphones.
Not only does BBM allows you know that
your message has been delivered and
read, it also shows you that your friend is
responding to the message.
Beyond that, with BBM, users can share
files on your phone such as photos and
voice notes, all in an instant.
Keep your group in the loop
Multi-person chats are a great way to
invite contacts to chat together. BBM
Groups alows you invite up to 30 friends
to chat together, and go a step further
than multi-chat by sharing photos and
schedules. With Broadcast Message, also,
users can send a message out to all their
BBM contacts at once.
Post Updates and stay in the know
BBM allows you post a personal
message, profile picture and your current
status, and lets your contacts know
instantly in Updates.
Your unique PIN
Every BBM user has a unique PIN that
maintains your privacy, so you don’t have
to give out your phone number or email
address to a new or casual contact.
BBM will be available as a free download
for Android smartphones running Ice
Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean (Android
4.x) beginning at 7AM EDT on September
21.
BBM for iPhones running iOS 6 and iOS 7
will become available for each market on
the App Store schedule of 12:01 AM local
time on September 22. For more

this year, BBM Channels will provide a
forum for active, real conversations

celebrities, artists, service providers,
communities and more, that matter to
you.
By creating a Channel, individuals and
brands can engage their friends and
communities in conversations sparked by
their thoughts, ideas and passions.
Subscribing to a Channel will let you join
conversations with people who share your
interests.
In addition, BBM Video calling and BBM
Voice calling are planned for availability

messages per user per day as compared

within seconds, reflecting how truly
engaged BBM customers are.
