Author Topic: Any BBM groups? (Read 4152 times)

I've just got myself a new Blackberry phone and started to get contacts on BBM which is a free worldwide messaging service and I was thinking that a group one for such as this forum would be a good idea.
We could use it for general advice, special offers, warnings, tips etc, etc.

What do you think?

Chriso,
I was in the fotunate positon of being able to hand back my BB when I left work last week and feel free wthout it.
I now just have a regular mobile so wouldn't be interested in the BBM groups but thats not to say tha others wouldn't like it.

I so do not miss being ultra connected since I left the mobile telecommunications world in 2004.

So thanks but not for me, thanks.

Can I politely decline too

I only connect to a network cos its where I make my ££ - if I had a choice I would not connect to any network other than the people that turning up on my doorstep.

Free messaging sound good though

- but I dont have a blackberry and even if I did it wouldn't work.

gluck.

No thanks Being ultra-connected means I can run a business which pays for my smallholding but I keep that part of my life completely separate.

Glad to hear someone has the same idea daddymatty.

It is just the same thing as everyone does on here just that it would save time logging on to a computer and you do have a choice of when you put your phone on or read messages.

I am aware that TAS must must make a bit of top -up cash through the internet (this awesome site, provided along with the extensive know how on both sides of the digital-wall) to help keep things running at home - - I am interested in what you do waterhouse? Do ya work online too?

How many others here have been allowed this freedom of lifestyle because of the internet? Or at least been helped along by the fact the internet is available, alongside the traditional, at home, and farm activities.?

For me, although I do like to 'socially network' the internet is something that essentially is a job available to anyone who wants to learn the fickle methods involved.

My business is corporate strategy. Technology allows me to have an office address in the West End but work from home, or indeed from any park bench with a good 3G signal.

I've only just got my blackberry and it still baffles me (up till a couple of weeks ago I thought they were thorny things you put in a crumble) I'd possibly be interested, yes. Let me just suss out how to get the ringtone to work first though and other such minor issues
