Never heard of brand new BlackBerrys getting their PINs suspended... where'd you hear that?

Seriously, that would be big news. What's your source?

The others stolen and lost, as should be.

You do not make "a lot".
You bought a pre production or stolen device.
You needed to read this first - Buying a BlackBerry off eBay - BlackBerryFAQ (http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/Buying_a_BlackBerry_off_eBay)

No, you have posted about the problems in other threads.
Many people have tried to help you.

I am not making fun of you - pointing out to you that because you bought a BB with a suspended pin doesn't mean "a lot of people are gettin their pins suspended by RIM".

Well I'm not asking ppl to help me
And I know 4 ppl with suspended pins

The post says how to avoid
not help me with suspended pin

Yes, your other threads are about how to help.

How to avoid getting a BB with a suspended pin is easy - don't buy off of eBay.

Follow the post earlier about the perils of buying from eBay, and if you do buy, get a money back guarantee and only buy from people you know.

The answer to your question "so i would like to know how to avoid getting my pin suspended" is not to buy a stolen or pre-production BB. That's the only way anyone has ever heard of pins being suspended.

Alright so the pin doesn't get suspended unless it's stolen or lost
Not because of wrong use of the device?

NJBlackBerry

It was suspended before you bought it.
Lost, stolen, pre-production models can all result in a pin being suspended.

But you said you know 4 people with BBs that were suspended. You have 1. Did you all buy from the same person on eBay?

The FAQ which NJ offered you is your best help,

So you are a reseller of the Bold in Kuwait now. You need to demand your money back from the eBay seller, if you don't get it then leave harsh truthful feedback.

Who was the seller on eBay? Let us know.

well the guy refunded the money

i dont have a problem with the seller

he sold over 60 pieces and not problem. just the one i bought was reported. so there is no problem with the seller

and i found a way around the issue. i know u moderators know how :)

but i was just wondering

maybe a miss use of the device wud get it suspended not just stolen/lost

Superh3ro

01-13-2009, 09:29 AM

Or people with 100% positive feedback selling mobile phones, such as myself.

the guy has 99.9% feedback with over 3000 item sold

i love u guys with 100% feedback ;)

maybe because i dont have a choice other than ebay to buy with good price

the companies here dont bring the BB phones up to date it takes them time

like they just released the bold here !!!

ppl here are more interested in the iphone and HTC

so i have no choice other than ebay for good prices :s

No, device mis-use will not get it suspended by RIM. Your carrier might cut you off for using too much data or looking at child pornography, but RIM won't.

finally the answer for the whole purpose of the post !!!!!

thnx bro

BUT, they (RIM or your carrier) have been known to suspend a PIN for known use of questionably obtained intellectual property (i.e. software) to which the PIN was connected in the use of. It occurred back this past spring on some TMO devices with some beta OS installs.

I guess the same rule applies to getting your pin suspended, as getting your email account, board account, youtube account, bank account, driver's license, etc: suspended. Don't be stupid. With your BlackBerry, Only buy from trusted sellers, make sure you have a good line of communication with the seller. If you use Beta OS's, and your PIN gets suspended, Don't get mad at rim. If you buy BlackBerry off Ebay, and the PIN is suspended, don't get mad at RIM. You know the rules, we all do things we shouldn't do, You just shouldn't get mad when they turn around and bite you in the butt.

Hehehe fair enough!

Switching from one device to another

That would upset my data plan not my pins right?

I got a bold and javelin still can't decide which one to use and which to throw away!

That should not mean anything to anyone, other than those users you keep on BBMessenger, no one will care if you switch devices.

Of course, your carrier might now have the proper service books to push down to the new device.

That is the way this thread started.

The branding of the phone doesn't have anything to do with the suspending of the PIN. Whether it's been reported lost or stolen or was a pre-production device is what does, as has been discussed in this thread already.

And Nokia E and N Series...

I remember walking up to the immigration desk at Al Udeid, Qatar last year and the officer had two N95's, an E65, and an E90. $2500 worth of phones on his desk. Crazy.
