Troubleshooting: PIN messages
I can't send messages
Try the following actions:
• Verify that your BlackBerry® smartphone is connected to the wireless network.
• If the menu item for sending a message doesn't appear, verify that you have added an email address, a PIN or a phone
number for your contact.
• If you created an email address or added an existing email address to your smartphone using the email set-up screen in the
Set-up application, verify that you have received an activation message on your smartphone from the BlackBerry® Internet
Service. If you haven't received an activation message (the message might take a short period of time to arrive), in the Set-
up application, open the email set-up screen to send a service book to your smartphone.
• If you haven't received a registration message from the wireless network, register your smartphone. On the Home screen
or in a folder, click the Options icon. Click Device > Advanced System Settings > Host Routing Table. Press the key >
Register Now.
• Generate an encryption key.
• Verify that data service is turned on.
• Resend the message.
