Communicate with friends using BBM and SMS from one location. If you have a friend or family member who uses SMS text messaging, you can add them your BBM contact list, thus removing the need to have the Text Messages Icon showing on your device. To take advantage of this feature, complete these steps:
1.Open BBM, press the Menu key and select “Invite to BBM”
2. Select “Add a contact to text within BBM”
3. Enter the contacts information
4. Select “Add Contact”.
To see what I mean, check out this screen shot from Ty’s smartphone showing the difference between a SMS contact and a BBM contact in BBM:
