About BlackBerry Messenger

You can use BlackBerry® Messenger to communicate with users who have a BlackBerry device. The contact list screen in BlackBerry Messenger is made up of your BlackBerry Messenger contacts, contact categories, chats, and groups.
You can send messages to your contacts, change your status and display picture, and organize contacts into contact categories. During a chat, you can send files such as voice notes and contact attachments. If your device has a camera, you can send pictures that you take with the camera.
You can use the BlackBerry® Groups feature of BlackBerry Messenger to create a group of family members, friends, co-workers, and so on. In a group, you can share pictures, lists, and appointments with the members of the group. You can also chat with members of your group and comment on shared items.
You do not need to sign in to or out of BlackBerry Messenger. As long as you are connected to a wireless network, BlackBerry Messenger can keep you connected to your BlackBerry Messenger contacts. You might be able to back up and restore your BlackBerry Messenger contacts, profile, and group membership using BlackBerry Messenger or using BlackBerry® Desktop Manager on a computer.
You must have a wireless service data plan to use BlackBerry Messenger. Depending on your wireless service provider or organization, some features might not be supported.

Troubleshooting

Some features are not available in BlackBerry Messenger
Features might not be available for any of the following reasons:
• Your wireless service provider might not have set up some features or might prevent you from using some features or options.
• Your wireless service plan might prevent you from using some features or options.
• If your BlackBerry® device is associated with an email account that uses a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, your organization might not have set up some features or might prevent you from using some features or options.
• Some features might not be available for you to use for some contacts. These contacts might be using a previous version of BlackBerry® Messenger or their wireless service provider or organization might prevent them from using the feature that you are trying to use.
For more information about the features that are available on your device, contact your wireless service provider or organization.
My contacts are not appearing in BlackBerry Messenger
Your BlackBerry® Messenger contacts might not appear on the contact list screen if, for example, you switched BlackBerry devices or if you updated your BlackBerry® Device Software without backing up and restoring your device data.
If you saved a backup file of your contact list to your device, on a media card, or to your computer using the BlackBerry® Desktop Manager, you can restore your contact list using that backup file. Depending on your organization, if you previously associated an email address with a device on which the latest version of BlackBerry Messenger was installed, you might be able to restore your contact list over the wireless network.
