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.
