So now that my Storm is definitely a keeper, I put my Curve on Craigslist for $150 and had 3 people lined up to buy it by noon!
The gal who has it now texted me and asked "how do I remove your email accounts?" oops
Is there a way to remove or disable the accounts on a phone I no longer have? I logged into the bis site and changed my login password, but I'm unsure if that will stop that phone from receiving or sending email, or whether it even *can* send and receive anyway. I don't want to change my actual email account passwords as that would be a bit over the top since I don't do anything with security risks by email anyway.
just log into your BIS account and switch the PIN to your Storm. This will prevent any new emails from going to the old device. Then you can give the new user instructions on how to wipe the old device.
Switching the PIN/ESN(MEID) combo in your BIS account will allow you to start receiving the emails to your device. They shouldn't receive any new emails on your old phone if the telephone number has been switched to your new device. The only issue is that until they do a wipe to the phone, they will be able to see any e-mails that previously went to that old device.
just log into your BIS account and switch the PIN to your Storm.
Well I did that 6 weeks ago when I bought the Storm... But since I never powered up the Curve with a valid phone number since I got the Storm, I wasn't sure whether or not the Curve could still get mail once it had a valid phone+data account again. I'm quite sure once it receives new service books that all the accounts will be wiped out, just wasn't sure if they might function partially until she gets new service books sent.
