Announced today during BlackBerry Live 2013, BBM is set to go cross-platform this summer. That means BlackBerry, iOS and Android users will able be able to chat seamlessly over BBM very soon.
Cross-platform BBM is long overdue but is sure to make for plenty of happy BlackBerry in just a few months.
The rollout will first include just chat, but soon to follow will be BBM Voice, BBM Video and even BBM Channels. Users on iOS and Android will get the same features of BBM that BlackBerry users already have so it should be pretty exciting. Best of all? It will still be totally free.
Plenty more on this to come soon so stay tuned!
Press Release
BBM for iOS and Android to Launch This Summer
WATERLOO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - May 14, 2013) - BlackBerry® (NASDAQ: BBRY)(TSX: BB) today announced plans to make its ground-breaking mobile social network, BlackBerry® Messenger (BBM™), available to iOS® and Android™ users this summer, with support planned for iOS6, and Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) or higher, all subject to approval by the Apple App Store and Google Play. BBM sets the standard for mobile instant messaging with a fast, reliable, engaging experience that includes delivered and read statuses, and personalized profiles and avatars. Upon release, BBM customers would be able to broaden their connections to include friends, family and colleagues on other mobile platforms.
In the planned initial release, iOS and Android users would be able to experience the immediacy of BBM chats, including multi-person chats, as well as the ability to share photos and voice notes, and engage in BBM Groups, which allows BBM customers to create groups of up to 30 people.
"For BlackBerry, messaging and collaboration are inseparable from the mobile experience, and the time is definitely right for BBM to become a multi-platform mobile service. BBM has always been one of the most engaging services for BlackBerry customers, enabling them to easily connect while maintaining a valued level of personal privacy. We're excited to offer iOS and Android users the possibility to join the BBM community," said Andrew Bocking, Executive Vice President, Software Product Management and Ecosystem, at BlackBerry.
BBM is loved by customers for its "D" and "R" statuses, which show up in chats to let people know with certainty that their message has been delivered and read. It provides customers with a high level of control and privacy over who they add to their contact list and how they engage with them, as invites are two-way opt-in. iOS and Android users would be able to add their contacts through PIN, email, SMS or QR code scan, regardless of platform. Android users would also be able to connect using a compatible NFC-capable device.
BBM has more than 60 million monthly active customers, with more than 51 million people using BBM an average of 90 minutes per day. BBM customers collectively send and receive more than 10 billion messages each day, nearly twice as many messages per user per day as compared to other mobile messaging apps. Almost half of BBM messages are read within 20 seconds of being received; indicating how truly engaged BBM customers are.
Today, BlackBerry also announced BBM Channels, a new social engagement platform within BBM that will allow customers to connect with the businesses, brands, celebrities and groups they are passionate about. BlackBerry plans to add support for BBM Channels as well as voice and video chatting for iOS and Android later this year, subject to approval by the Apple App Store and Google Play.
If approved by Apple and Google, the BBM app will be available as a free download in the Apple® App Store(SM) and Google Play store. Additional details about system requirements and availability will be announced closer to the launch.
Mantap semakin gak perlu beli bb10 xixixi

Hahaha ampun Yong kalau dibandingin ternak lu. Nyerah pake bendera putih deh.

Same question here, semoga bisa pake yg reguler
Sesuai tebakan saya, yg free hanya yg basic bbm function aja awalnya (chat, group dan foto)
- no problemo, more than enough bagi saya dan mayoritas kita :)
Filtur2 baru seperti di os10 (video call, dll) hanya eksklusif di perangkat bb. Dan bisa aja bakal ada di android ios, tapi tidak free
Thanks pencerahan nya doc..

MANTAP banget
Alvin Kurniawan @ONE
Langganan services nya ini yg malesss.
Udah bayar kuota inet tiap bulan, ngapain bayar lg cuma buat chat doang:-D
Tp ya kita tunggu aja, beneran rilis apa kaga bbm for android:-)
Kalo gak salah pernah baca, meski paket service BB10 seperti paket reguler bagi konsumen, operator tetap setor sejumlah tertentu kpd BBRY.
Nah kalau BBM dibuka utk platform lain, mestinya nggak akan cuma-cuma dong.
IMHO, langkah BB ini sdh sangat terlambat. Pengguna whatsapp skr sdh berkali lipat dari pengguna BBM yg 'cuma' 50-60jt. Chat app lain juga menjamur. Eksklusivitas BBM mendorong kreativitas pesaing. Hukum rimba kini mengancam.

Wah mantap.. tengkiyu om..
Inilah yg tidak di sadari kita semua org Indonesia / yang berada di Indonesia. Konsumen Blackberry terbanyak itu di Indonesia! Jika anda ke luar negri ..gak ada yg pakai bb lagi.
Adalah fakta bahwa RIM/ blackberry (now) itu adalah perusahaan yg mau bangkrut. Di dunia usernya gak ada. Jadi akhirnya mereka membuka diri masuk ke dalam platform no 1 / 2 di dunia yaitu iOS dan Android. Walau dinilai udah terlambat. Fokus mereka ke hardware division dianggap salah strategy. Bahkan CEO Yahoo bilang BB itu bukan smartphone!! Wkwkwkkw.....
Kalau gak salah line/kakao talk /whatsapp aja jumlah usernya melebihi bbm.! Jadi yah serba susah dan telat sih ..... Tinggal menunggu waktu aja kalau menurut saya BB itu.. Karena even usaha terakhir mereka melalui device baru Z10 Etc.. Gagal. Terlihat dr harga saham mereka yg semangkin terpuruk. Pasar tidak menerimanya.
Just my 2 cent....

The question has come up over and over (and over) again -- do you need a BIS plan (aka BlackBerry data plan) from your carrier to use a BlackBerry 10 phone? The short answer is no, you don't. You can use a standard data plan with BlackBerry 10 devices and everything will work just fine. Pre-BlackBerry 10 devices required a dedicated BlackBerry/BIS plan to get all features working - BBM, browser, email etc. On BlackBerry 10 however, you can just use the same smartphone data plan that works for iPhone or Android as well.
There are a few catches here however. Yes, you can also use a dedicated BlackBerry plan with no problem. That means a full-out BlackBerry data plan, no an individual feature plan. Plans that feature segmented data streams, like BBM/email only or "social plans" are currently no good on BlackBerry 10. So if you're swapping over from another platform, BlackBerry 10 makes things easy in that you don't even need to swap your data plan with your carrier. If you're currently on a BlackBerry plan you are good to go as well.
Remember too that if you're coming from an older BlackBerry or a different platform, you most likely have a full size SIM card that won't work in the BlackBerry Z10 or BlackBerry Q10. So for that you will need to hit up your carrier to get a new SIM card. (You can cut down your current SIM, but we don't recommend doing that - at all) While you're there make sure your plan is up to speed since the new devices offer LTE - so if you have an older plan/SIM you will want to upgrade.
When it comes to enterprise users who will be running their BlackBerry 10 phones via a BES10 server, a special BlackBerry BES plan will be required - so nothing has changed there. Being on BES10 is what enables features like BlackBerry Balance to function. However, if you're in a business where you're going to be running your BlackBerry 10 phones alongside iOS and Android devices with no BES in place, then no BlackBerry data plan is required - you're in the same situation as a consumer.
Update: Rogers contacted us and told us that for BB10 devices you don't even need a BES plan to connect to BES10 - only older BBOS devices require a BES.
Hopefully that clears things up, but just to refresh:
The whole data plan story surrounding BlackBerry 10 has been a little under communicated and a bit confusing, so if and when any of these things change we'll be sure to update this post.
Om Andy
Kalo bbm broadcast, tidak makan banyak quota kok
Yang banyak makan quota itu kalo download attachment
japri : pra...@pwmjatim.com
temukan info baru di LHAINI.COM
Kalo bbm atau messenger apps lain yg text based, akan sangat jauh lebih murah, hemat kuota
Kecuali kalo sering bgt browsing, download upload photo, file, kuota 500mb/bln pun bisa kemungkinan habis :)
by N7100 the Beast
BB paling irit kuota data, android paling rakus. BB Q5 terbaru yg mau release kayaknya cuma mentok edge lho - CMIIWW. Buat operator, BB user bisa jadi yg paling menguntungkan, tambang uang. Bayar mahal, pakai kuota kecil.
Dibukanya BBM ini apa bakal banyak implikasinya buat operator maupun user gak ya?
Apa mau user BBnon10 tetap pakai BIS?
Makin OOT nih..

Thanks koreksinya bro, saya cuma baca di kompas.com, berarti gak lengkap nulisnya.
Heran juga tadinya, meski diposisikan murah, tp resolusi dan prosesornya lumayan.

Analisa yg baik, pak Hary..
Sepertinya asik juga membayangkan HTC atau Motorola menggunakan OS Qnix dari Bbry.

Yang di maksud luar negri itu , negara yg melek IT. E.g : singapore, usa, china dll
Setahu saya UK itu share market BB tinggal 5% an... Link : http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Blackberry-Market-Share-z10-uk-market-share,21799.html
Negara developing saja yg masih survive memakai BB.
Yang untung secara riil itu bukan samsung aja, coba liat produsen mobile di china... Semua untung berkat adanya android...
CMIIW
Sekalian tambahan tabel market share Q4 2012 biar lebih jelas...
Tidak bisa om Arif Budiman
yang pake data hanya di bb10 ke atas
Bb 5-6-7 harus lewat BIS. Struktur OS nya berbeda, jadi yang lama tetap akan existing walau akan mengecil prosentase nya

Kalau ngomongin market share, yang sering jadi sumber data adalah report dari IDC dan Gartner.

Facts must be separated from opinion.
Indonesia emang blm melek IT kok.
Bagi saya Bbm chat dan group sudah cukup bagi saya.
Voice dan video chat gak pernah pakai wong saya langganan hanya paket bbm saja :-d
Sesuai tebakan saya, yg free hanya yg basic bbm function aja awalnya (chat, group dan foto)
