BlackBerry developers are making use of the Redemption offer that has been available through BlackBerry World for some time now. We've been posting a lot of them on CrackBerry already. They're not going to stop soon either. This time around Nemory Studios has 150 free copies of Messenger for Facebook available. We've taken a look at Messenger for Facebook before and I'm a fan as it's pretty smooth and fast.
If you haven't already picked up Messenger for Facebook, maybe you can get lucky and grab one of the free copies. As a reminder here are some of the features of Messenger for Facebook.
- Real Time Sending and Receiving Chats (no refreshing required)
- Start a Conversation
- Send Stickers (via plain text Links/URL)
- Update your Facebook Status within the App
- Very Fast and Fluid Performance
- Filter / Search Friends via Name, Online/Offline/Idle Presence
- Keyboard Shortcuts - Jump to top & bottom, search
- Web Group Chats
- Extra Security - Application Password
It is available for all BlackBerry 10 smartphones. It regularly costs $1.99 but there is also a Lite version available which has ads and less features than the pro version.
Instructions to get a free copy
- Open up BlackBerry World
- Swipe down from the top and tap Redeem
- Enter promo code BESTFBMESSENGER (caps matter) and tap OK
- App should show as FREE. Download app

Wouldn't want to use up precious memory on an inferior messaging app, BBM is all I need, thank you.

This is one i dont want
My lubbly jubbly Z10. Shine on you crazy BlackBerry
All the codes had been given out. Anyway, I am not a big fan of FB

When can expect the headless feature to work when the app is closed? As of right now, I have to leave the active tile open in order to get messages.
Posted via CB10
Why are all of the freebies posted after I get to work? I can not have a cell phone or have internet access at work. (i work at a prison) I am without my phone from 6:10 am to 5:00 pm Tuesday- Friday! All of these freebies need to be posted earlier!
No thank you

Pass

Don't need that because I bought the app a few months ago and worth every cent!!!! =)

Man, wrong timezone :p

Unfortunately to late
Posted via CB10
Am I missing something? Isn't this integrated in the os and the hub anyway? I use chat all the time, through the hub?
Posted via CB10
Isn't this competition to BBM?
Posted via CB10
I missed it :(
Posted via CB10
Noooooo I missed it :(
Posted via CB10
I'd like a promo code please. Sent from my new white Z10!
Posted via CB10
I'll try it when the World Will work again
Posted via CB10
... app store in mantaince, but will wait for oficial or android
If you have the face book app, don't all your messages appear in the hub anyway? I don't see ware this is even needed. I must be missing something?
Posted via CB10
So I still don't get it? I get FB messages in the hub? Is that going to stop?
From my z30
In all fairness, some more promo codes should be given out as some of may have missed it due to BlackBerry World undergoing maintenance right now and we can't even access it.
Mr.C
Damn! Missed out on a good one!
Wouldn't have the app - too much privacy given up imo
Posted via CB10
Paying for a free service :/
Posted via CB10
Didn't get
Posted via CB10
Android and iOS users launch a revolt against Facebook for making them download a separate app for FB Messenger.
BlackBerry users pay $2 for said privilege.
Makes sense. Honestly, if you use FB Messenger a lot, then go ahead and buy this app. Support the developer. If someone wants to message me, they have my email/twitter/text/BBM information.
Posted via CB10
NOOOO! COME ON GUYS! :""""""(
AM THE ONE THAT ASKED NEMORY FOR THIS AND I DIDNT GET ONEE
SOMEONE GIVE ME ONE FOR FREE PLEASEEE! :""""""""""""(

I don't have one :(
Thank you for ur nice comment (:
made me better
Via BlackBerry Q10
Grrr. Hate this.
Posted via CB10
Cool but no thankd.... no plans to get another texting app... especially a paid one. Or even a free one lol. Hard to beat BBM or a regular text for those not on BBM. I didn't even have interest in that Whats app or whatsup or whatever it was
Posted via CB10
Has anyone seen the big fuss going around in particular on Facebook about the Facebook messenger terms of use and what they are doing with your data, phone and text messaging?? NO thanks, will pass!!
Posted via CB10
Note to all the developers we thank you for the giveaways. however if you don't drop like 2000 copies they are done on this site in mins.
That's good to know. I'll keep that in mind when I finish my app!
Posted via CB10
I think a better idea is a free download that gives you 3 4 or7 days to evaluate any app. At that time you must pay to keep using it. I can't tell you how much I've waisted on apps that I then find to be useless. Beats these free giveaways that most won't use (just want the freebie).
Every app should have an evaluation period imo.
Posted from my Z30 on CB10
Why just 150??? Again couldn't get it!!! :(
Posted via CB10
Gutted, I guess I will have to wait for the native fb app to get up to scratch,tbh I dont think thats gonna happen anytime soon.........
iPhone# best selling overrated MP3 player ;)
I was waiting for this app to go headless before I purchase, but got lucky with the code today. Thanks Nemory and CB
Posted via CB10
I think some people are confusing this 3rd Party Facebook Messenger app with the official one that's only on Android and iOS... This one doesn't request permissions like access to photos or phone dialler.
All gone.
Roll over. Try not to cry. Cry a lot.
Posted from my super duper Z30!
I already bought the paid app anyway

Still curious...messaging in native fb crapp seems to still be working. Do we even need another app running in the bg to get fb messages? (not that I care if I see them until I login to fb once a week-ish)
You know you have an issue when you're on facebook so much that you need fb-msngr - go meet these people in real life! Haha!
Posted via CB10
Gone :(
Posted via CB10
Already redeemed :( plz give more
Posted via CB10
Got it :)
From My Z10
I'll pass, BBM is far superior.
It serves a different purpose because it's for PM'ing your Facebook contacts who often have given you no other way to contact them. Personal experience here... I am not a big Facebook user but one day I got a message from a guy who found my profile on Facebook and told me he had found my wallet in a cafe I had just left. BBM wouldn't have been any use in this situation.
Posted via CB10 on my Z30
I shall pass on this freebie.

All gone again!

Bought it already months ago. Come on guys support our native devs!
Differentiate or Die
Just bought it - not sure if I will use it until it is running headless.
Posted via CB10
I don't understand..what is the difference between the FB Messenger Pro and FB Messenger Lite..i have both of them. No hub integration, no headless support.
Posted via Z30, 10.2.2.932
And right in the dead center of the article you just responded to:
"It regularly costs $1.99 but there is also a Lite version available which has ads and less features than the pro version."
Posted via CB from my LE
No headless? Ain't nobody got time for that
Posted via CB10
Getting really tired of missing these, are people doing multiple downloads??
Sent using my brilliant Z10
No thanks! I wouldn't even use it. Thanks though
Posted using the best phone ever, the Z30!
Gone already... Thanks anyway. I wasn’t totally sure if I wanted this anyhow; BBM doesn't need more support going to its competitors.
ॐ Posted via CB10 on my Z30
Thanks guys
Posted via CB10

Enjoy the free app everyone! Make it quick!! :) Thank you so much DJ & CrackBerry
"Quick" doesn't really help, one must have lighting speed, lol, gone in 2 minutes!
Couldn't grab it, but thanks for the promo and continue developing native apps! Keep up the good work Nemory! :)
Loved the Q10 but now it's Z30 power time!!!
Yeah, quick doesn't cut it anymore. I just took a break from Crackberry for 30 minutes and missed this giveaway.

Messenger asks for down right draconian permissions, do your research - I'll pass.
Crack-a-lackin' since '08
Crazy permissions on an independent app that you can use to access FACEBOOK chat???
Privacy and security concerns are great, but most ppl that use FaceBook don't concern themselves with those things.
Frosty white Q10/10.2.1.3247
You can trust me. I'll explain the permissions.
BBM: For updating status, bbm connect, share to bbm friends
Device Information: to know if you're using a device with square screen or not for better UI
Internet: network
Microphone: sending voice notes, recording video attachments
Notifications: for Hub
Run in Background: Active Frame Background Process
Shared Files: to access your files so you can attach it and send via dropbox.
I don't do malicious things to my users..
Oh, I C - Didn't realize this was an independent dev. App. I've read about the Fb Msngr for Android and it's actions, and thought this was that. Now this just adds another argument as to why ppl should just come back to Black!
Crack-a-lackin' since '08
Awesome. Thanks for that.
Wasn't taking a shot at you or the app, was just taking a shot at Facebook :-p
Love your work on the Snapchat app.
Frosty white Q10/10.2.1.3247
The real shame is that BlackBerry don't provide the developer the opportunity to put in an explanation about why the app needs each type of permission in to the pop-up window that does the asking.
If they did then people wouldn't get so hot under the collar about why an app needs permissions for such and such, there is usually a good reason, so come on BlackBerry let the devs explain at the point when the user has to make the decision rather than in a forum or blog website where hardly anyone will see the perfectly valid explanation.

This FB Messenger is no security at all. millions of users will see you privacy, photos, and where you live.
It's your choice. I'm not important enough (yet) for that to matter at all
Posted via CB10
Not keen on using FB.
BlackBerry? I premdict the future's gonna be chenomenal!
And that's different from Facebook and Google+ how? Not to mention it's kind of the point of social media.
Just saying
