Using BlackBerry PlayBook Messenger

Send instant messages with BlackBerry Messenger (BBM). The PlayBook offers BBM as part of the BlackBerry Bridge. Wirelessly connect your tablet to a BlackBerry smartphone to send and receive instant messages from the PlayBook.

1. Add a contact to your BlackBerry device.

2. Get that person’s permission to communicate.

   You must know one of the following to use BBM:

   • The person’s PIN

   • The e-mail address associated with the person’s device

3. Send either a Request by PIN or Request by E-mail message.

   The following table helps you in BBM.

   To Do This . . .	Do This
   Send a message using BlackBerry Messenger	Click a name in the contacts list; then select and click Start Conversation. Type a message and press Enter.
   During a BBM session, choose Send a File or Send a Voice Note	Record a message and send it as a note, and then wait for the other party to do the same. Internationally it’s cheaper.
