BlackBerry :: Locating Lost Phone Using Unique Pin Number?
Aug 5, 2011
I lost my BB Torch today and I really want to know if there could be any way to locate the phone using its unique pin number. I have barred the line but I feel that there could be some way to find out where it is. I can't use the BB Protect either as I was not aware of it and when I log into the site now, none of the buttons can be used.
I have recently purchased a blackberry bold 9000 secondhand. It is originally a telstra device (it's covered in Telstra logos and on start up it has the telstra splash screen). I purchased it from a man in New Zealand, who himself purchased it from the person who had it on your network, so finding any information about the original owner is nigh impossible. I just want to know if the unique blackberry PIN is still connected to your company. I have the PIN and IMEI numbers registered to me with the my current carrier (telecom new zealand), also as a precaution I have upgraded the OS to my carrier branded version 5.0.0.592 (bundle 1004,platform 5.2.0.57), (this is the latest version my carrier supports). Interesting things to note is that when connected to a wireless (wi-fi) connection with internet access, many of the applications can also access the internet. I am not connecting to any enterprise server, the VPN settings are disabled, the APN settings are set to direct.telecom.co.nz with blanks for both the username and password. I have tried deleting and resending the service books many times (each time followed by a"hard-reset"). I have tried wiping the device several times. The dataservices option in the mobile network options menu is turned on, is reading as the correct carrier, and is tuned to the right network mode (3G & 2G). The browser option, under advanced options, which in turn is within the options menu, has only one setting, "Default browser configuration:" which is showing a blank space, and does not give the option to change it.The exact error says that "Your device does not currently have any Browser Configuration Service Book Entries.Please contact your service provider to enable the Browser on your device.
I plugged my 4gs into my computer with the USB charger cable, and the screen went blank and came up with a picture of the usb cable with an arrow pointing to iTunes...
how or where to obtain the Wifi address from a iPhone/iPod/iPad if it's lost or stolen? I know about logging into the wireless router at home, but does Apple keep record of it?
Aren't they supposed to be able to Disable/Suspend the PIN of the lost device so that the "new owner"can't even log onto BB network?
Now I am actually receiving BBM messages from the "new owner" asking me who I am.
Now my friend is wondering how she can compel her Provider into blocking PIN from BB servers so that the "new owner" can't access sensitive info she kept on phone.
Just last night my blackberry stopped sending texts to one specific number in my phone, it comes up with a message "network out of order". I have swapped my sim, used my sim in another phone, updated my software, swiped my phone completely and reset the host routing table so I don't know what else I can do to rectify the problem?
I have just got a reconditioned iphone as my original one broke. It has got an apple ID email address on it which isn't my own. How do I delete that account and add my own account to the phone.
I have a lot of contacts stored that can't be found with the search field. Even though I can see a name on the list of contacts,when I type in that persons name in the search box, I get nothing. What am I missing? The same is true when I go to call someone. I know that the contact is in my list. But I cannot get the number to come up when I start typing in the first or the last name.
I sync contacts with a corporate Exchange / Outlook account. I can manage contacts on the phone or PC. Any contact who has say a business, home or mobile number and a fax number specified, if I go to the dialer, start typing their name, it does show the contact and a number (no indication of type such as fax or cell) so I tap that choice. Sadly, no, I can't just tell from looking at the number if it is fax or not. The phone dials the fax # which of course is incredibly annoying to my ear and that this dumb phone doesn't know not to try a fax number as the first choice for any contact who has a fax number.
I know I can set the default number per contact but I have hundreds of contacts and to go through each one to see if they have a fax and change it would really suck. Is there seriously no way to tell the phone not to use fax as first choice by default?
When your BB is locked, you can press the Emergency button and select a number to dial. I was just wondering if there is a way to add another custom number in there? Thought it would be good for people in my company to be able to put a personal emergency contact in there in case they are in an accident, because our company phones lock automatically after a short period.
My Bold 9000 was stolen and I did not write down the IMEI number. In order to report the theft to the police, it would be very helpful to have the IMEI. Actually, I thought that this number was stored within the backups that I made (using the Desktop Manager). But I could not find anything like the IMEI number in the files.
Is there a chance to recover the IMEI from some log files? Where would I have to look?
Is it possible for RIM to recover the IMEI when I provide them with the PIN? I am a private customer, not a business customer, and did not operate the BB via BIS or BES.
Which connection is needed to send messages while using a BB Pin number? Is it at the same cost as a text message or would I get charged for making a short connection to the internet?
After transferring a number from a previous carrier to a new carrier, I can no longer receive iMessages from my telephone number. People can only iMessage me if they know my Apple ID. I've tried restoring the phone, but I'm always faced with 'error' in the iMessage settings window.
I lost myTurn off icon on my Blackberry device 9790 bold.. How can I get it back .. I restarted the device twice but it didn't come back again.. So how can I get it back ... Can't find it on the panel menu ..
Is there a way to recover data lost from my Calendar schedule if I had not made any sort of backup? Everything disappeared when I disconnected the syncronization before it ended.
I have only one cell number that will show up in my text messaging with just the number not the name. I have deleted it and reentered it. It has a + in front of the number.
