Please Login to Remove!

Hello everyone..

My boss asked me for my pin number today... other than the messaging feature what can she do with it?

I am concerned for my privacy.

Thanks.

Other than bug you with PIN Messages or BB Messenger not much! Please keep in mind that if you are on BES through work that there is no privacy when it comes to your BB.

Good Luck!

Yes yes very true. If you are concerned about your privacy, throw that thing away!

Oh alright....

But more to the point. I agree that BES is not a place where your privacy is respected.

Thanks for the replies...

I am not on a BEZ... but they have access to anything they want to know..

Now, what about internet surfing.. can they bring up a log of visited sites?

...did your company supply the phone. I would suggest not doing personal business if the phone was provided by them. It's technically their asset and therefore open to their inspection at any time...

I would have to second that ^^.

If it came from work, it's theirs and you have to use it for nothing else but work. If you are concerned about your privacy, get a different BlackBerry for personal use.

This is confusing? How did you arrive at this conclusion?
