BlackBerry Messenger Blackberry Smartphones - are encrypted messages?

Hello

I was wondering if the messages I send to another contact with Blackberry messenger are encrypted or not? I was looking for this online and all I could find is that the blackberry Messenger is a wrapper of BB-PIN messaging. PIN messages are supposed to is not encrypted from what I could find online - which would mean that BBM messages are not too... I'm just guessing?

Thank you

Yes, BlackBerry Messenger is encrypted from end to end, because it uses the PIN messaging as its transport.

All traffic is exclusively on the RIM infrastructure and it never leaves.
All BlackBerry devices share a common encryption key that is used for this purpose.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones are deleted messages, actually deleted?

    I'm new to BB.  I have a question about the messages.  When I delete a message, it went really?  On Windows Mobile phones, that I have used in the past, you delete a message, and he goes to a trash can.  Then, you remove again to be sure it is really gone.

    This happens on BB phones?

    When you delete a message, does go somewhere else on the phone, or is it really deleted?

    Thank you

    Mike

    There is no "trash" on BlackBerry. Once an item is deleted, it is really deleted.

    With the exception of an agent of forensics experts to examine the BlackBerry, there is not way that e-mail or data back once it has been removed from the BlackBerry (other that it could still be on your server e-mail or in Outlook if use you it).

  • BlackBerry Smartphones emails and Messages of mixture that can be resolved?

    Is there a way to stop my e-mails and messages in the mixture it is very annoying to have to remove twice. I also need help on how to download ringtones I did what the book said to do but without success, I also tried to connect it to my computer, someone please help!

    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me with my little problem.

    Did you mean that your emails and text messages are coming in the same folder? If so then try the following-

    Separate messages-> Options-> General Options-> E-mail and SMS: separate

    If you mean your different built-in emails appearing in mail and separate mail folder then please be informed that this default happenes. BlackBerry smartphone is designed as such if you think this is awkward, can hide Messages folder (press the Alt button-> click-> Menu select hide).

  • Device of blackBerry Smartphones, sending text messages invisible to the unknown mobile number

    Hi, just bought a unlocked 9360, having a strange, new problem in Blackberry, so be, permissions or something, but the device sends texts to a number of mobile which is not in my repertoire, recent calls or texts. My allocation of text on O2 came down, I changed to a Giffgaff sim and who goes down also.

    I know that the phone number as Giffgaff sent me a list of numbers, the texts were out to and they are all the same one.

    Sorry to be a beginner, if it's as simple as the app permissions.

    Amanda

    Let's be clear. There are SMS messages are automatically sent from the device and you're not sending them? If this is the case, then now, follow these steps:

    Turn off the mobile network radio. Perform a full backup. Do a security wipe. When you do the wipe of security, check the box to delete applications.

    See http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB14058 about security wipe.

    After clearing security, do a selective restore of just your personal data. Do not restore settings or application data. But, if you can start from scratch and go do a restore, do.

    Go ahead: set a device password and lock your device when you have eyes on her. Don't lend your device. Don't let anyone use it. There is a setting in the options to require the device password in order to install an application. I recommend that you enable that. Finally, be careful what apps install.

    My best guess is that there is a malicious application on the device. Maybe it was when you bought it, maybe someone put there after you acquired it, or perhaps you have inadvertently installed. Cannot be sure. But obviously this is not something you want, at the very least, and you don't know what it is to delete.   This is my reason for the security wipe.

  • Scroll of blackBerry Smartphones are becoming very difficult to "BOLD" (with a pad, not a scroll wheel)

    Hello

    Scrolling became very difficult in my "BOLD", but it has a pad, not a scroll wheel, so I can't follow the spoken wheel and push solution previously in these forums.

    The symptoms are that it is difficult to get the cursor to move to the left or to the right or upwards or downwards, sometimes that it moves more easily than other times, but never as easy as it was until last week. What often happens is that I end up pressingteh pad too hard trying getting the top of the page to save the movement and thus itreads as a click instead.

    I tried to clean the buffer, cleaning of my thumb or finger, battery-out-restarted "BOLD" of countless times, tried with my fingers wet and dry...

    It seems that she has changed after an update has been downloaded, but maybe it's just my perception.

    In any case, what could be the problem and what is the solution please?

    It's very very interesting... I suspect the one who talked you to ATT was not (I'll be gentle) adequate training. Contractually, end users have no way to try to contact BlackBerry directly for anything (well, not for free). Rather, the carrier should worsen your BlackBerry case and provide you more information (for example, a file number)... but just to give you a phone number means (I'm sorry), the person gave you att, because this isn't how the support system. And it's actually a bit surprising... all the reports I've heard indicate ATT to get a best trained support groups for BB to anyone... but maybe they skate.

    In any case, if the above does not work, their ring upwards and insist that they solve it correctly. Emphasis first to be transferred to the personal support of BB dedicated ATT (I think they have such a group) because it is also a mandatory step before be remounted for BlackBerry (but correctly... not the way you describe).

    Good luck!

  • Messages/emails new blackBerry smartphones are not displayed and no Vibration Notification

    Hey guys, I'm new to blackberry. I bought a Blackberry Curve 8520 yesterday, and I'm having some problems with it.

    Problem 1:

    New messages will not be displayed, I have to go into general messages and select "View folder" > «Inbox SMS»

    I put it to handset simply because I want to just that all my messages in the folder main message, but whenever a new message arrives I have to go to the SMS Inbox folder.

    Problem 2:

    I have the same problem with my email, I get to a new email notification, but it is no - where.

    Problem 3:

    I put my blackberry to the vibrate profile, the only time where it seems to vibrate when I get a new notification from facebook and that's it.

    Please help, thanks

    I did a hard cancel and the problem seems to have I think with messages.

  • Journal of calls and Messages from blackBerry Smartphones are missing every moment

    I have messages that I send and receive but once I come to school, they all remove for any reason any. Once they are all removed, I send some message but when I check my log messages, they are deleted again when I check. I know that's not that my memory is full. I just got the phone and I don't have a lot of files so this is not the case. I saw one come in because I was looking at my phone and saw that I received a stub message immediately it has been removed as well as the messages that I had there. I don't have not so whenever I roam to a little they delete or what, but it's very strange for me. Please, any help will work. I thank...

    huh, your memory is low. Really. 99.99% chance.

    First thing? Check the file without Options > Status, what is the number to the free file?

    Now, leaving the device turned on, remove the battery from your device, hold a minute, to replace and restart.

    What is now the free file?

    After you provide that, I have some ideas for you to explore the memory is not the issue.

  • Text messages new SMS to blackBerry Smartphones are NOT showing as unread "Bold" 9700

    The other day that I woke up literally with a few new text messages that I only found now texting the same people. Apparently, I got these messages, but the envelope icon was always white next to the unread messages. Since then, whenever I receive a new text message, my phone sounds like it should, my light flashes red but still no yellow envelope or the number of unread messages red GOLD star on sms folder. If I score no read manually I get very least the Red Star (which is normal). E V E R Y T H I N G else works fine including the BBM and emails.

    I've tried resets many hard, pull the battery, I even turned on my phone without the SIM inside. I even deleted the most recent application, I've updated. Tried a different theme, removed this theme... etc. I was on google for most of my time at work even the past 2 days and still no luck.

    I have not controlled and checked the show new message indicator, but also deactivated and reactivated the number of messages (note the order).

    Help, please!
