That would mean you or someone else followed the instructions to remove the BlackBerry from a BES system.

I want ni it policies on my phone. How do I get rid of it?

I believe John Clark's name is just on the Owner screen, right? Edit that under Options -> Owner.

And if his name is on it, it's as good as a blank IT Policy.

Correct just update the owner info and the policy is fine.

The policy is there to stay but it has no restrictions.

I understand that but a refurb is supposed to come like a virgin new phone with no it policies on it. How do I rid the phone and make itnew, via a wipe?

Return the phone only option.

Call your carrier and tell them that your replacement phone was not wiped properly.

[John Clark]

Whoa! Hold on everyone! While it's true that that IT policy came from my thread here (http://www.blackberryforums.com/rim-software/67224-remove-policy.html), you don't need to return it in order to get rid of it. Why they sent you a refurb with my IT policy on it is beyond me.

The 8330 has OS 4.3 on it so my IT policy should have never been applied to it, anyway. You can remove IT policy on OS 4.3 and higher devices just by using the first method of IT policy removal in the thread I linked above.

I added the note with my name and where to find me for just such occasions so that people would know where it came from.

There is the shining star that is JC!!!

/crap

So now Slovak, IF you got your refurb from your carrier, you know they lied to you.

Where did you buy the BB?

Alltel. They sent me this one in the mail since my trackblaa went on my original one

[JSanders]

It wasn't refurbed then, or at least whoever refurbed it didn't know about reset to factory settings. Nevertheless, it works, right?

Sure it works. I just want no policies whatsoever on it. So when I got home from work tomorrow ill follow the instructioun in the link John Clark referrenced in his above post to remove it

[JSanders]

And in doing so, you his name on it... It will always have the blank policy now, until you read the thread JC linked above and read the first paragraph.

I also have that on my BB owner info and was never quite sure what it meant. Does it mean he got it from John or did it just use John's Blank IT Policy?

I recently bought this BB from a long standing member here and absolutely love it. But mine DOES now have an IT policy on it, since I connected it to my the BES.

So I'm not sure the statement has any meaning for my device anymore. Mine has OS v4.5.0.45

[NickfromIL]

lol, it just means someone had that BB before, and used John's remove IT policy guide.

lol, it just means someone had that BB before, and used John's remove IT policy guide.

Yep. And did me the favor of installing an OS that VZW doesn't approve yet. Which is nice.

[John Clark]

If you have OS 4.5 you can use the resettofactory command in JL_Cmder to remove the policy completely.

[virtue007]

after applying a blank IT policy, the status, buyr menu (to look at lifetimer) is now showing "IT Policy", after reset with JL_Cmder will it be resetted to zeros?
