I had smartguard on my BB for some time, and back around october I decided to cancel my subscription. I noticed that on the main crackberry page there's an article about downloading the smartguard app for the blackberry for free. So I downloaded it again, and when I went to do a backup of my stuff, its telling me "account expired".

So I'm wondering whether its really for free or not?

Or is it free to download but you still gotta subscribe/pay for the actual service?

Its definitely free, you probably need to activate your old account on a new free account

i think that you will have to use a secondary email than the one used to open the account...the website link shows how!!good luck and cheers!

certain features are free check the site.. if u had a paid account it prob expired, now u can only track yourself. honestly i had it. uses about 3-4 mb, runs 24/7. waste of space on my 8330. especially with a hybrid on it.

Useful app, but eats your memory, and DRAINS battery. Just from running in the background, my Tour was sitting in its holster most of the day, I went from full charge to yellow indicator.

I like the program and it's nice to backup stuff but I really wish you could close/shutdown the program with a password when you didnt need it on.

It's free, just as the information Motorcycle Mama provided stated.

But remember the BB and secondary emails are for remote commands and notifications, which is not directly related to the subscription. You may just be having difficulties because just like most applications, it is connected to your BB's PIN number (you can see this in the about screen). It just may be "remembering" you from your previous subscription, which is expired, if you have not switched devices since then. Is this the case?

Anyway, send them an email, and see what's up.

Hope this helps.

I thought the same at first. However, if you lose your device, or it is stolen, you won't have the chance to start the app--it would be useless then. The only way for it to work is if there's no way to shut it off.
