able to use the phone to its maximum benefit,
and that is why we are working with BlackBerry

Android customers can enjoy the rich features of
BBM that include:
· BBM Chat – Enjoy real, immediate
conversations with friends on Android,
iPhone and BlackBerry smartphones. Not
only does BBM let you know that your
message has been delivered and read, it also
shows you that your friend is responding to
the message.
· More than chat – With BBM you 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 lets
you invite up to 30 friends to chat together,
and go a step further than multi-chat by
sharing photos and schedules. And, with
Broadcast Message, you can send a message
out to all your BBM contacts at once.
· Post Updates and stay in the know –
BBM lets 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.
Executive Vice President for BBM at BlackBerry
Mr. Andrew Bocking said, “BBM continues to
grow in popularity and as the recent launch on
Android and iOS suggests, BBM is the ‘must
have’ app for active conversations. While we
continue to evolve BBM with more features and
functionality, we are excited to work with OEMs
like TECNO to preinstall BBM, giving their
smartphone customers in Africa quick and easy
access to the service right out of the box.”
