Samsung today confirmed that when BBM™,
the mobile social network, launches for Android
smartphones on the 21st September 2013, it
will be available as a free download for
Samsung Galaxy smartphones across Africa
from the Google Play store.
“We are pleased to officially announce
that BBM will be available for Samsung
Galaxy smartphones across Africa,” said
EmmanouilRevmatas, Director of Hand
Held Products, Samsung Electronics West
Africa. “We are focused on driving
consumer experiences based on
customisation to suit every lifestyle. By
offering an additional messaging service
through our Samsung Messaging Hub, it
has never been easier to stay connected.
This is another way that we are providing
our customers with a more
integrated
lifestyle experience and a powerful new
way of communicating and sharing. It’s
really about giving the African market
what they want – and what they want is
choice.”
Samsung users will join a vibrant community of
60 million BlackBerry® smartphones customers
who rely on BBM to stay in touch with friends,
family and colleagues every day. Samsung
GALAXY smartphone users will have access to
an extensive range of BBM features, including
BBM chats and multi-person chats with BBM
Groups, as well as the ability to share photos
and voice notes. BBM will form part of
Samsung’s Messaging Hub as a complementary
addition to the current slate of propriety and
third party messaging services that Samsung
customers enjoy.
"We are excited to welcome Samsung
customers in Africa to the global BBM
community,” said Andrew Bocking, Executive
Vice President for BBM at BlackBerry. “Samsung
customers will enjoy the conversational
immediacy that BBM offers with the distinctive
‘R’ that lets you know your message has been
read. They'll also be pleased with the control
BBM gives them over their contact lists and
how they share their information. Every BBM
customer gets a unique PIN, so you don’t have
to give out your phone number or email
address to a new or casual contact."
BBM for Android can be downloaded for free
from the Google Play Store on 21st September
2013 and is compatible with GALAXY
smartphone devices that run Android 4.0 (Ice-
Cream Sandwich) and above. Data charges
may apply, as determined by local operators
and service providers.
