Ever since I started using a BlackBerry, my dilemma was that the BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) seems to be an impotent application that eats up precious storage space in my older RIM units. But when I got hold of the BlackBerry Bold 9700, it changed my perception of this nifty tool. Coupled with a decent data plan, I find the BBM a cost-effective solution for your day-to-day messaging; side-by-side with SMS.

Imagine, you can use BBM to send messages to your colleagues who are abroad, eliminating the high cost of sending SMS to a foreign-based mobile number — or even from a different telco.

A lot of Filipinos are now experiencing the beauty of BlackBerry — both the handheld units and the service — thanks to the promos and loyalty (retention) programs being offered by the two giant networks here in RP: GlobePH and Smart.

Share your experiences, problems, tips-and-tricks, etc. about the BlackBerry online at our homegrown online community BlackBerry Pinoys (http://www.blackberrypinoy.info). If you use BBM, simply scan my bar code above or add my PIN 2857CEFC.

Mabuhay ang Pinoy BlackBerry users!

  1. Hi Liza! You need to subscribe to a BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) for you to be able to use BBM on prepaid. Check with Globe, Smart, or Sun on what are their current offerings.

    http://smart.com.ph/gold/promos/Blackberry+Fever.htm

    However, for Globe user you may visit their office to have your unit registered. I don’t know why they make this complicated. But after the registration you can just keep subscribing. Sometimes they have a promo. If you subscribed for 3 months straight, the next month is free. I’m not sure about this but a friend saw an ads somewhere at SM.

    this is one month for Social access only i.e. FB, twitter, BBM, chat etc. NO emails

    Txt: BB SOCIAL ON then send to 8888
