About PIN messages
A personal identification number (PIN) uniquely
identifies each BlackBerry Wireless Handheld on
the network. If you know the PIN of another
BlackBerry Wireless 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.
Note:
If your handheld is integrated with an account
using the BlackBerry Enterprise Server™ version
4.0, your PIN is displayed on the Enterprise
Activation screen.
