About PIN messages

A personal identification number (PIN) uniquely
identifies each BlackBerry handheld on the
network. If you know the PIN of another
BlackBerry handheld user, you can send a PIN
message to that person. PIN messages are not
routed through an existing email account.
When your PIN message is delivered to the
recipient, a D appears with a check mark in the
messages list.

Find your PIN

In the handheld options, click Status.
Note:
If your handheld is integrated with an email
account using the BlackBerry Enterprise Server
version 4.0, your PIN is displayed on the
Enterprise Activation screen.
