ITbomb: And down goes the BBM that girls slept around for

BBM isnt valued anymore...gone are the days we were ment believe that bb/bbm is everytin in life

Hav never like that app.
I have a BB phone, and I don't know my BBM pin. Prefer whatsapp.
I must say MTN are criminals, I wonder how they knew I don't use the app, almost every week they do reward me with "1week free BBM chat" #like WTF, can't you guys reward me with free data if truly want to thank me for using MTN?
