The BBM was developed by the Research In Motion (RIM) Company, which is known for the production of various brands and models of BlackBerry phones. The BBM is specifically designed to suit most models of BlackBerry phones, irrespective of the model number.
The BBM works in a very peculiar manner. The instant messages delivered through the application are sent over a BlackBerry pin system. This makes communication very easy and fast between two BlackBerry devices. You can easily exchange messages by engaging in chat groups and discussions through the BBM. Multiple BlackBerry mobile phones and other devices can easily communicate with one another in a single session, in real time using the BBM.

The version allows BlackBerry users the unique opportunity of using QR code barcode in adding friends list instead of using the former numeric PIN identification system. The modern version also makes the sharing of picture messages and instant messages extremely fast and easy.
In all, the BBM is compatible with the latest models of BlackBerry Phones. Nevertheless, there are some requirements you need in order to use the application effectively. For instance, you have to secure a working data plan from your wireless service provider in order to use the BBM.
