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.
