Blackberry 850 Paging User Manual

Getting started

BlackBerry paging is an add-on to the basic BlackBerry™ email service. You must be a subscriber to the BlackBerry
Paging Service for these functions to work.
Note: For security reasons, you must change your personal access code from the default. Refer to "Configuration" on page 3 for
more information.
Paging personal identification numbers
When you subscribe to BlackBerry paging, you are provided with two paging numbers: a seven-digit paging personal
identification number (PIN), and a ten-digit Internet paging PIN. Note that these are different from your handheld
PIN. The appropriate PIN is specified in the corresponding sections below.
Sending a page
There are several ways to page someone's handheld:
• numeric dial-up
• email
• Internet
• telelocator alphanumeric paging protocol (TAP)
Numeric dial-up paging
This is the most common paging method. Callers dial a toll-free number to reach the Basic or Enhanced paging service.
Using basic service

2. After the welcome greeting, press 1.
3. Type your seven-digit paging PIN.
4. After the custom greeting, type a numeric message using the telephone keypad.
Using enhanced service

Email paging
You can page someone over email using the address ten-digit Internet Paging PIN@pagebb.net. Email pages arrive on
your handheld as a new message to which you cannot reply.
Internet paging
Messages can be sent through an Internet interface. On the www.blackberry.com web site, go to the Support section.
Select BlackBerry Paging and then click Send a page to a BlackBerry handheld and follow the on-screen instructions.
