Free download of BlackBerry BBM for Android, iPhone - Click here to jump the queue

With the botched-up initial release of BlackBerry’s BBM for Android and iPhone devices, the Canadian firm has now announced a wait-list for the download as it has begun rolling out its in-demand messenger on rival platforms.

“This is the news you’ve been waiting for! I am thrilled to tell you that we are about to officially resume our rollout of BBM for Android and iPhone customers around the globe! In the next few hours, people will start seeing BBM in Google Play, the App Store and in select Samsung App Stores – where it will be free to download,” said Andrew Bocking, Executive VP for BBM at BlackBerry, in the official BlackBerry blog.

He claims – and not without reason – that the demand for BBM on Android and BBM on iPhone continues to be amazing. “About six million people signed up for information about BBM at BBM.com,” he maintains. “As you know, in just seven hours, about one million Android users were using the unreleased version of BBM for Android. What you don’t know is that more than one million people have found creative ways to “side load” BBM on their iPhone. This is incredible,” he said.

And while the company says it is implementing a wait-list to ensure a smooth roll out of the free service “to help manage this unprecedented pent up demand for BBM,” we’re gonna tell you how to jump that queue to get instant access to the BBM service on your iPhone or Android devices.
