If you are on BBM, you might have received a contact invitation from a certain popular satellite TV at one point or the other. Also, you might have noticed that a couple of company ads have found a way to your supposed ‘discreet’ timeline – that is your feeds. How annoying it must be to think it’s a friend request only to discover it’s another unwanted brand crashing your party. Surely, it has crossed your mind to get rid of these constant pop ups.
Well, there is a solution. Blackberry has presented two rather interesting options in form of two subscription packages.
The first, which is referred to as No Ads is a BBM feature that disallows all advertisements and sponsored invites on your BBM, for just $0.99 (N197.109) per month.

I want to add with BBM.
