How to find your BlackBerry PIN number

Posted by Joe on September 24, 2008 | 119 comments | Filed under : Quick Tips

Today we continue dropping some basic BlackBerry knowledge. Yesterday we discussed how to move icons on your desktop. Today, we’ll discover where to find your BlackBerry PIN. This can be an important number to know, or at least be able to locate. The easiest method of adding BlackBerry Messenger contacts is with your PIN.

Open up your full applications menu, and go to Options. Then go to Status. Your PIN is right there. I wish it was more complicated, so I could explain it a bit further. Alas, it’s that simple. A couple of screenshots after the jump.

38 nelletap August 6, 2011 at 8:40 am

In answer to message 17, the pin number is a hexadecimal number. It therefore needs 16 characters it can use and these are 0-9 (10 characters) plus the first 6 letters of the alphabet – a-f. No letter beyond f will be used so the 0 you see is a zero and not a letter o.
(sorry about the typo first time)

Cooper 64 Cooper March 18, 2011 at 9:18 am

@Riki No you can not determine someones location just by knowing their PIN.

65 Riki March 17, 2011 at 3:00 am

I was wondering, could we identify the location of Blackberry owner through the PIN number?

thanks before

Cooper 66 Cooper March 14, 2011 at 9:54 am

@hadi Unless you had some kind of tracking app on it (Like BlackBerry Protect) you will have a hard time locating your lost/stolen BlackBerry

67 hadi March 12, 2011 at 10:19 pm

how to find my lost black berry??

Cooper 68 Cooper February 28, 2011 at 10:48 am

@katie Try opening up your notepad app and typing mypin

It should automatically convert it into your actual PIN number. If you do not have BBM status visible you may be using an older version of BlackBerry Messenger.

69 Katie February 25, 2011 at 1:45 pm

Hi i just got my blackberry curve 8520 and i got my bb messanger but when i go 2 find my pin i go to options and there is no status and its not there wat do i do?

Cooper 70 Cooper February 21, 2011 at 9:55 am

@mel open any app you can type in and type

mypin

It will auto correct to your actual PIN number.

71 mel February 17, 2011 at 4:18 pm

I NEED TO FIND MY BBM PIN TAKE ME STEP BY STEP WHAT I DO TO FIND IT PLEASE!

Cooper 72 Cooper February 10, 2011 at 11:25 am

@Sam P Your BlackBerry is assigned a PIN by RIM. To find yours just go to any place you can type on your blackberry and type mypin – it will change into your actual PIN #

You can then share that with friends and communicate through BlackBerry Messenger (BBM)

You will need a BlackBerry Data Plan (BIS) in order to use BBM and PIN messaging.

73 sam :P February 9, 2011 at 11:09 am

how do i find or set up a bb pin ?? xxx

Cooper 74 Cooper February 3, 2011 at 12:49 pm

77 ahmad January 30, 2011 at 5:55 am

Hi My pin no starts with no 4*****. I was told it should start with either 3 or 2 only. Is my BB a imitations?

Cooper 78 Cooper January 4, 2011 at 3:18 pm

@anon To access the options for any app or location on your BlackBerry you simply press the menu key and scroll until you see the word options – click it and you can change settings and save them.

Cooper 79 Cooper January 4, 2011 at 2:21 pm

@Tammy Try this – go to any place you can type text and type

mypin

it will automatically change to your PIN number.

Cooper 80 Cooper January 4, 2011 at 12:24 pm

@franklin There are all kinds of people willing to chat and make friends on BBM – look for them in forums and BBM social sites.

Try http://www.bbmnation.com

81 franklin December 29, 2010 at 12:21 am

Cooper 85 Cooper December 16, 2010 at 3:08 pm

@neish Nope – can’t do anything with just PIN info. She was probably updating contact info.

86 neish December 14, 2010 at 6:09 am

My facebook friend from africa asked to use my pin, is that some way to get my phones info or do something illigel?

Cooper 88 Cooper November 26, 2010 at 12:41 pm

@Louise A PIN with all numbers is fine – are you having trouble connecting to others?

89 Louise November 24, 2010 at 4:21 pm

my bbm pin is in all numbers what do i do?

Cooper 90 Cooper November 1, 2010 at 11:00 am

@jaypedro Go into any note taking app or sms etc and type the following: mypin

Your BlackBerry will automatically convert that string of letters into your BlackBerry PIN number.

91 jaypedro October 28, 2010 at 8:58 pm

i dont now how to get my pin its doin me head in :(

Cooper 92 Cooper October 28, 2010 at 10:13 am

@chuck I do not know of any mac software specifically but if you google “mac convert video to mp3″ you should get a bunch of software suggestions. I would look for free trials so you can test it out before purchase.

93 chuck October 28, 2010 at 9:13 am

I am a complete novice at this guys i would need a step by step guide on how to pair and all that , am like a 2 year old when it comes computers and fone technology unless am being prompted by a sign or instructions to click here or move there , am stuck staring at the screen for what next( shameful ) i know.

94 chuck October 28, 2010 at 9:07 am

just getting used to bb messenger, thanks guys. my next question would be how to use my mac to convert videos to mp3 on to my bb curve

Cooper 95 Cooper October 18, 2010 at 10:37 am

@Tom Are you getting some kind of error message? It sounds like you may not have a BlackBerry data plan.

96 Tom October 16, 2010 at 2:35 pm

i have my pin but it wont let me add other freinds what should i do ???

97 samuel September 18, 2010 at 4:55 am

I need friends from all round the world to ping 321DE74C is my pin

Cooper 98 Cooper August 12, 2010 at 9:58 am

@knelso No they can not do anything to your device with just your PIN. It is up to you to check any apps you want to add to your device but no one can just add something on their own.

99 knelso August 11, 2010 at 12:53 pm

I guess then the next question is can somebody that you are messaging with use a pin number to add applications or do whatever(something malicious), I just don’t want to give the pin out if there is a security issue with it being known by others.
Thanks! Sorry for the paranoia.

Cooper 100 Cooper August 11, 2010 at 8:12 am

@Knelso The PIN is your device identifier or signature if you will. It is used for connecting your device to another for messaging but also for things like application authorization and subscription renewals etc.

101 knelso August 11, 2010 at 6:56 am

Can the pin# be used for anything else other than device to device messaging?

102 poncho August 5, 2010 at 9:00 am

You can write “mypin” then hit “space key” (I just placed quotes to show the key word, DO NOT USE QUOTES!!!)

103 lloyd May 25, 2010 at 12:23 pm

If the Blackberry is locked, you can remove the Battery and find the PIN number just below the BAR CODE.

Cooper 104 Cooper April 26, 2010 at 11:26 am

@Tangie Try launching BlackBerry Messenger – if it launches then your PIN has been provisioned – if not then you will need to contact your provider.

105 Tangie April 23, 2010 at 9:01 pm

i have tried everything and I still cannot fin my pin…I just got a Curve 3 day ago….i go to pplications and o where does it say STATUS….ad going to the notepad and typing mypin doesn’t work either

Cooper 106 Cooper April 12, 2010 at 9:47 am

@desman The easiest way to find your PIN is to go into notepad or any other place you can type and type mypin. It will automatically switch to your PIN number.

107 desman dardi April 11, 2010 at 1:04 am

TQ 4 help me 2 find my pin no. k

I figured it out.

111 Mario October 29, 2009 at 12:27 pm

Im new to the blackberry world so I apologize if this is a stupid question. I know how to get my pin but when I go to enter it in my address book, it only lets me enter in numberica characters. My pin and my ocntacts pin are alpha-numeric. Don’t know what to do. It has a number lock or something..

112 SheWolf October 1, 2009 at 11:56 am

THANK YOU :)

113 Robin August 7, 2009 at 9:09 pm

Thanks for the advice on how to find the PIN#! Its great that someone takes the time to answer questions for all of us out here “without a clue”.

114 The definitive guide to BlackBerry Messenger | BB Geeks June 10, 2009 at 10:00 am

[...] A quick note on adding contacts via email. While it has worked in almost all instances for me, there have ben a select few where I couldn’t do it that way. The only way I could add these rare contacts was through their PIN number. I have no explanation, but I’ve seen a few complaints on message boards of a similar issue. The contact stays as pending, even if he or she accepted the contact invite. If you need your PIN, or you need the PIN of someone you’re trying to add to BBM, you can read our quick tip on finding your BlackBerry PIN. [...]

117 DavidB September 24, 2008 at 2:05 pm

“ALT+LSHIFT+H” or “ALT+RSHIFT+H” should work on any QWERTY Blackberry. I used to know the key sequence for SureType devices but it escapes me as I type this…

118 Jeffrey September 24, 2008 at 8:48 am

If you have a Curve u can also press the key combination “ALT + LSHIFT + H” from the home screen to go directly to that section.
