How to find your BlackBerry PIN number

Posted by Joe on September 24, 2008

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.

“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…

[...] 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.

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..
