My BBM chat not working

I had the BBM 5.0.33 and upgraded to the BBM 5.0.55 yesterday and today someone messaged me so I replied, and in the chat beside my message the icon is stuck at the little mini red clock instead of going to the check mark. I tried sending messages to all my other contacts but i get the same result. Soft Restarted my blackberry but it did nothing.

 

Very frustrated, seeing as how BBM is one of the key aspects to owning a blackberry, for me anyways.

 

help please

Re: My BBM chat not working

With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.

 

A "soft restart" isn't the same thing as the above.

Re: My BBM chat not working

Hello there,

 

I am new to the blackberries so am finding them quite a hassle! I took in your advise and rebooted the phone, but then the red clock turned into a red "X"

 

i am not quite sure how to work BBM. I go onto the BBM icon, all my contacts say SMS contact even though I have entered their pin. I invite a person on my bbm, lets call her "A". I types in her pin, then it came up with "Pending (waiting for Authorization)" but she is in my contacts section. She has a blackberry, so how do I send her bbm messages so that they a free? She tried to tell me how to do it but my phone (she has the curve and I have the bold) didn't seem to have the options she was telling me!!

 

Please tell me how to use BBM as I want to get familiar with it soon!!

 

Many thanks,

Re: My BBM chat not working

Hello,

          I've just bought a Blackberry Curve 8520 from an individual, it's on orange and so I put my orange sim in it. BBM isn't working so I was just wondering how to get it working. Somebody told me that I couldn't because I didn't buy it from a shop. I was just wondering whether this is true, I didn't think it was, thanks for any help :smileyhappy:
