About PIN messages

A personal identification number (PIN) uniquely identifies each BlackBerry® device on the network. If you know the PIN of another BlackBerry device 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, in a messages list, a D appears with a check mark beside the PIN message.

Find your PIN

In the device options, click Status.

Note:

If your BlackBerry® device is integrated with an account that uses BlackBerry Enterprise Server™ version 4.0 or later, your PIN appears on the Enterprise Activation screen.
