How to release BlackBerry PIN

Shadowbolt — Tue, 02 Jan 2018 13:58:22 GMT

I have absolutely no clue on how to release my BlackBerry's PIN so I can use BIS on another device. Is there a way that I could do this?

Model: Bold 9790

O2 Pay As You Go (Classic)

(Yes I do have the BIS Bolt-On)

Hi @Shadowbolt! Did you end up resolving this or are you still struggling?

Anyone here on the community have any experience with Blacberry and could advice?

If I remember correctly @sheepdog was a BB man a few years ago.

...but my memory isn't too good right now!

Only just remembered I got pinged about this thread....but unfortunately no, I have no idea.

My Blackberry Bold was the first and only BB I ever had. Still have it on my desk stopping dust forming on it. Must get a battery for it as its still quite functional as a phone.

Glad I'm not going too demented. I was sure you had one but there was a thread a few years back about the BB pin but I can't seem to find it. Thanks for responding @sheepdog

I remember when using BBM on Android I got a new PIN each time I installed BBM on a new device.
Not aware that you could transfer your PIN though as I just assumed a new PIN was assigned to each device?

That was one of them and I'm assuming there were others before that because many customers has BBs back in the day.

Yes that's what was said on the thread. I never had a BB so no idea...

@Shadowbolt If I’m understanding you correctly and you are moving from a 9790 (BBOS) to a Classic (BB10) then you don’t need the BIS add on anymore but you will need a standard data package. You just need to log in with your Blackberry ID to use BBM etc.

I Haven’t used my Z10 or Classic in a while except to update BB10 but AFAIR the PIN is fixed by the Blackberry device, but if using BBM on iOS or Android I believe you can create a ‘custom PIN’ which can be edited in the current version. It would of course have to be unique.
