BlackBerry Smartphones BBM for SMS

Hi all

Is it possible to use BBM to send and receive SMS? Instead of using messeger app, can I get my text messages on BBM? Like the iphone, imessage and text message comes in one place.

Can we do with BBM in private?

I would like to know if anyone has a solution...

Thank you

Hello

No, unfortunately BBM cannot be used to send or receive SMS text messages.

Although they can perform in the same way (in general), these are two different e-mail applications. SMS is provided by the cellular network as part of a plan to "Talk and text" when activating a cell phone... which means that you can text to mobile phone of someone without having to buy a data plan. However, if the texts are sent to international mobile numbers, there is usually a load for her.

BBM on the other hand, you need a data plan to use the service. The advantage is it is much safer than a SMS and there is no additional charge to send a BBM from across the world.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BBM 8 for BlackBerry Curve 8520

    Hello

    Please let me know if BBM 8 is available for the Curve 8520.
    If Yes, then please provide a link to download.

    Thanks for your time and your support.

    Visit BlackBerry World from your phone and search for BBM. When the application opens, look down to see what version it is. I think BBM 8 is available for your phone, but do a search in the BlackBerry World, which will confirm. If the specified version is lower than 8 BBM, then it is not available for your phone. Only applications that are compatible with your phone will be displayed when you perform a search from your phone.

    See you soon.

    PS typing www.blackberry.com/bbm in the browser of your phone will be entitled to download in BlackBerry World page.

  • Contacts of Smartphones blackBerry not accounted for SMS if battery removed

    Hello.

    My Bold 9700 is not properly recognizing the contact person for SMS messages. But it's a different problem that others have described. When I receive a message, it shows the name of the contact properly (which was the other problem had I think).

    But then if I turn off the bb and remove the battery, then replace it and re - turn the phone on, none of the SMS messages have contact names appropriate - it just shows their phone number or their name if I stored them on my SIM. What's more, this problem only occurs if the contact phone number is stored with spaces and media in [that is to say, + 64 (21) xxx xxx].

    I realize account I could cross and all add to my SIM card or remove brackets and spaces of phone numbers of contacts but

    (a) it was not a problem before (on the 8310 and 8520) must be able to be fixed

    (b) my SIM card does not in any case all my contacts

    (c) telephone numbers are difficult to read without spaces and media

    (d) it is such a waste of time!

    My software version is 5.0.0.344 (which is in fact more late than I can download!)

    Thank you

    Yes, it IS the same problem that others had on the same version of operating system you are on. Exactly the same thing.

    The official release to most recent update of the operating system solves this problem.

    Download and instructions are in the link here, do a full backup first of all, with the Office Manager.

    • With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes. See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    I hope that will move things again for you! If this isn't the case, then you should contact your mobile provider for formal support.

    Good luck!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BBM disappeared after the 7.0.1 update

    I've updated BBM from version 7 to 7.0.1. After the reboot, I found that my BBM was gone. I checked my world in Blackberry World, to see that it is installed, but it was gone. So I had all my BBM Messages messages. Make a restore from a previous backup has not resolved the problem, 7.0.1 remained. I had to reinstall version 6 to BBM. Version 6 installation means that I've lost the BB voice that came with v7. Nobody knows where and how can I get the previous version 7.0.1. IE version 7?

  • BlackBerry Smartphones reboot for more than 2 hours is this normal?

    I have the 8520 and earlier today, he said that there is an update available for bbm. I installed the update and it told me to restart the phone, I did three hours ago. The home screen is there, but is completely frozen is this normal? Please help I bought this phone 5 days ago and it's really bugging me,

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    Thus, the reboot took 2 hours? Or it restart but the home screen is frozen? These are two totally different situations.

    However, with the power on, please remove the battery again. Leave it for at least 10 minutes. Then put back in and wait through the restart - at least 20 total minutes (maybe a little more... "I wait 15 minutes after the reboot is complete before judging whether it is frozen or not).

    If this fails, I recommend to start safe mode and delete what you have installed just before it started:
