Finally BBM app has arrived on both android and iOS. After a big failure a month ago it is finally here. Some people are not that happy though, after waiting for a month they have to wait once again. and this time again blackberry has failed to mention that how log this wait is going to be.
For some people this virtual line is never ending. No one know when they will be in front of the lie. All my friends have not yet recieved ny email from BBM notifying them that they have reached the front of the line, nither did i. but i still managed to sign up and get my BBM PIN.
So i will guide you through the process which i went through. It might help some lucky few out there.
I did sign up for alert on BBM site but never received any Alert for BBM launch. It was because of my habit of staying up to date with all the ch news that i came to know about its launch. So no alert from blackberry for BBM launch.
I wasn't that mad till now. I was happy that its finally here. So i downloaded the BBM app as soon as it was available in play store.
This is the screen which You get when you first open BBM app.
Although i have seen people complaining on play store and some forums that even after signing up for alerts they still had to wait in virtual line. it happened with me too. When i clicked next i was directed to the screen where i had to sign in with my existing blackberry id or create new one. As i already had blackberry id i entered my id and password. I was excited as i didn't had to wait in line but my excitement soon ended when it showed error that no internet connection. Apparently i was in an are of bad reception. So i had to start all over again. But this time BBM app treated me like new user and it gave my virtual spot to god knows who and put me in line again. Well done BBM you managed to live up to your reputation.
I tried rebooting my phone. re-installing app and clearing app data and whatever i can think of, but still nothing. So i kept on ding what any normal person would do. signing in again and again with the same id hoping for a miracle. Lot of users are facing this problem. At least i wasn't the only one. and the next day i emailed BBM support with my problem. But whenever i found some free time i would go back to the app and try again. I even tried tricks available on net to bypass the waiting line but it didn't work. Suddenly out of the blue i manged to pass through once again. I had to admit though my cell reception again played it trick. So i almost decided to give up. I told myself this is the last time if it doesn't work now i will wait for reply from BBM support or my email when i am finally in front of line. This last time i finally managed to go all the way.
My friend in UK also didn't received any email he just kept on trying and he finally made t through without any hack. He owns an iPhone. None of my friends received any email from BBM that they are in front of line. They all kept trying again and again and finally made it through without any trick.
So i suggest all of you that don't wait for the email just keep trying.
