Hi crackberry_mornon,

Simple answer is YES. They can be tracked on a BES. Since 4.1.x it is an option the BES admin can turn on for all or some of the BES users.

By default, the feature is turned OFF.

Cheers, Isaac

Big Brother(BES) can pretty much see everything you do. They can see emails, BlackBerry Messenger messages, SMS. They can also track you via GPS if they choose to. My company also logs everything you do on your BlackBerry to a server where it stays for a minimum of 2 years...

As stated above. Yes.

But all depends on how stringant your IT group is.

Some say no porn no NSFW content, other monitor EVERYTHING.
