What’s the difference between Blackberry PIN messages and regular texting?? What’s the benefits?


You don’t actually need someone’s phone number to PIN them. You can also attach things to a PIN. The PIN also goes through the BB servers and not over the regular cell network. This is an advantage when SMS is slow/not working.

    BBM (BlackBerry Messenger) is free for every message.
    Well, mostly depending on your plan, texting costs more.

    PIN = only BB users can send/receive Pin messages. There is no per message charge or geographic boundary (you can send anywhere). Pin messages also tell you if they are delivered and read.

    TXT = Can send to anyone, usually a per message charge or must have a bundle package and international messages cost more.
