I am using the BB Messenger a lot to chat with other BB users within the company. Now I will be moving to another country and another company. I will be purchasing my own BB. My question is:

Do all BBs have the Blackberry Messenger application and can you use this application to chat with any worldwide BB user, even with a different provider?

Thanks!

Welcome to the forums. I believe that the answer to both of your questions is Yes. I know that if you have it it will work world-wide; maybe some of the older models do not have it.

If I am wrong I'm sure someone will correct me.

Really depends on if there's a BES in the mix, and how it is set up.

If one of the BB Messenger users is attached to a BES, and that particular BES is configured with a peer-to-peer encryption key... then that particular user will only be able to chat with other users on the same BES.

Alternatively, the BES admin can also enforce an IT Policy which would block public and/or private PIN messages.
