LINE is a smartphone app which allows users to enjoy free calls and messages to one another, both nationally and internationally, regardless of which mobile network provider they are using. It is currently used in over 230 countries with the total number of active users exceeding 54 million worldwide.
This version targets areas such as Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand, where BlackBerry remains a popular choice of handset. NHN Japan believes that it is important to allow their LINE app to be used for various devices and network environments in order to make the app accessible to as many users as possible, thereby raising user numbers. This BlackBerry version will be released at first with LINE's main messaging feature alone, where users can send one another text and photos as well as those well renowned stickers designed to increase the one-to-one chatting experience.
In addition to BlackBerry devices, LINE is already available on iPhone, Android, feature-phones, PC, tablets and Windows Phones. NHN Japan has stated that it aims to further develop LINE to cater to multiple devices and platforms in the future.
