Also there is no character limit. Which is nice if you are chatting with some one. Plus you can send pictures or video.
Being able to see if the message is delivered and read I find very helpful. Especially for work. I want to see if it has been delivered and that it has been read to make sure my question or answer has gotten through. Sometimes with text messages they don't get delivered for hours (very rare but it does happen).

You would have been charged for an SMS but if you use your data plan while in the states you are roaming (unless you have Onerate or US Data roaming package). Although, BB compression is high and a few BBM messages hardly use any data.
