2nd hand blackberry but previous owner pin!
Hi,
Like many to thers before me I have learned the hard way if you buy a used blackberry on ebay it may the pin setup for a previous owners email account, an account that is sending me spam. I don't really need BBs email facility, as i can still access email accounts via the web browser, so is it possible to use the firewall block pin setting to stop these other messages to come through and allow my normal text and MMS messages and my data carriage for web browsing and my wifi at home for net surfing there? Is this what the firewall part called pin is for? I have called my carrier and they say they cant unlock and I need to find original owner and ask him to ask his carrier to unlock the pin, it seems ridiculous a pin can be linked to a phone but not the new owner... I am guessing this is a money earner for RiM so they can get more sales of unlucky ebayers?
Thanks in advance,
