Not all of your friends, family, and acquaintances can be as hip as you and use BlackBerry Messenger. That’s why if you want an easy way to stay in touch with those on an iPhone, Android, or Windows Mobilephone you’re likely to turn to the use of a cross-platform messaging app. In this roundup we show you our top 6 picks for cross-platform messengers available to download on your BlackBerry. Check out the video below for the complete walk-through and further information on each app below that.
LiveProfile
LiveProfile offers a cheaper, faster and more reliable alternative to text messaging allowing users to communicate with lightning-fast message delivery and confidence, indicating when messages are delivered, read, and even when the recipient is typing a response, making it feel closer to a live conversation. And, where text messaging charges can quickly rack up, LiveProfile is free—even for international use—making it easier on the wallet, too.
PingChat!
