Hello vicky4u66,
Each BlackBerry device has a unique electronic serial number (ESN) and Personal Identification Number (PIN). It is used for various features of the blackberry including BIS account for email requires both the IMEI and PIN to function properly. Also, when you add someone to BBM (BlackBerry Messenger) it adds them via BlackBerry PIN.
Hope this helps,

  • Uncaught exceptions...what does this mean?

    I have tried searching for information about these messages displaying on my phone but have found nothing regarding them...
    My phone has been randomly restarting itself and displaying "uncaught exception 4 >= 4".  What does this mean and how do I fix it?  Also, not my phone is now recording/updating my call log.  When I try to delete the records "uncaught exception 3>= 3" appears.  Again, what does this mean and how do I fix it?
    I have version 4.6.1.231 (platform 4.2.0.108) for the 8900 Curve.  My computer is also a Mac..don't know if that matters.
    Can anyone help?  I would greatly appreciate it!   I've only had this phone since the beginning of August.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Uncaught Exceptions are basically the equivalent of a random error in Windows -- oh wait, you are on a MAC... 
    In essence, something has happened on the device for which there is nothing in the program code to handle. So the "last out" is what these are. There is nothing really you can directly do to correct (or diagnose, for that matter) them. But there are some things to try:
    1) Hard Reboot:
    Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    These are good as they reload the device OS fresh, just like rebooting a computer -- a healthy thing that clears up any corruption that has been introduced during operation.
    2) Device OS update. If there is some known (not to us, but to RIM) bug, it may have been fixed in a later device OS level. Check your carriers download page via this portal to see if there is an update:
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    Beyond that, there's not much to do except for perhaps figuring out if perhaps it's one of your add-on apps that is causal...and a slow and systematic process is recommended of removing an app, waiting a while (I always recommend a week), then removing another (if the first try failed), and repeating until the errors stop -- at which point you may have found the culprit.
    Good luck and let us know!

    Hello,
    FYI -- "here", as in these forums (which are targeted at BB/RIM services rather than carrier services), would not be the best place to find out something specific for one carrier. With so many thousands of carriers with dozens of different plans each, it's pretty much impossible to keep track of the specifics. The generic information is this:
    http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/What_do_I_need_a_Data_Plan_for%3F
    But, there certainly can be variations on that given the different packages carriers put together. I do suggest you do as JSanders recommended -- contact your carrier and find out what you've signed up for.
    Good luck!

  • I bought the iPhone 4s and my battery used to reach 32% and then the phone would shut off. Then it reached 46% and the same thing happens, and now it shuts off at 53%. And it start recharging from the percentage it shut off at. What does this mean?

    What does this mean?

    My iphone 4s just developed a similar problem.  Ultimately, after a visit to the Genius Bar at which I was offered a replacement phone for $149, I took the phone to a non-Apple repair shop which diagnosed the problem as tarnished pins in the docking connector and replaced the connector for $49.
    The symptoms I experienced were that the phone would not pull a charge.  I tried different cables, wall outlet versus computer USB connection, etc.  The screen stayed black until I depressed the sleep button, at which time the red battery / lightening bolt symbol would flash three times and then the screen would go black. 
    If your battery is dead, that icon will not show up at all.  If you get the icon, it means your battery is run down and needs to recharge, but the defective docking connector is preventing the battery from taking the charge.

  • We do not understand what Mozilla Firefox means by Firefox Final Release Channel

    We are a university that uses the Blackboard Vista 8 product. In order for our students to complete their courses online in Blackboard, they have to use compatible and certified browsers. The Blackboard vendor has a website detailing which browsers the students should use. The URL is http://kb.blackboard.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=75071574. No one understands what the vendor (Blackboard) or Mozilla Firefox means by the phrase "Firefox (Final Release Channel)." Does this mean the latest version of Firefox? If so, why not say the latest version and where did the word "channel" come from and what does it mean? It's not explained anywhere on the Firefox website.

    Mozilla has 4 channels. In order of less to more secure and stable: Nightly, Aurora, Beta, Release.
    On the page you reference, "Final Release Channel" refers to Mozilla's "Release". These are versions that have been completed and "pushed" out for download by everyone. The most current version is always available at https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/ (currently, Firefox 6.0).
    There are only 2 currently supported versions: Firefox 6.0 and Firefox 3.6.20.
    *All other versions have stability and security issues that will not be corrected, but are corrected in the updated versions, as they are released.
    Other download links:
    *Current version (now version 6.0): http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Older supported version (now 3.6.20): http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    According to the chart on the page you referenced, your students should be using Firefox 3.6.20 (Firefox 3.5.x versions are no longer supported or updated).
    The certified/compatible classifications are Blackboard's determination.
    '''<u>Firefox Portable</u>'''<br />
    If your students wish to use the most current version of Firefox for their everyday browsing and use a Blacboard compatible version for use only with Blackboard activities, they can have both on their systems by installing Firefox Portable (not produced by Mozilla):
    *Firefox Portable installs in a separate folder on your hard drive so that it does not interfere with your current version Firefox settings or personal information (bookmarks, passwords, etc.). Add-ons are also kept separate.
    *You can also install Firefox Portable on a USB/thumb/pin/jump drive.
    *Firefox Portable general information: http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable

  • Conference call.. what does this mean

    I accepted a call from a friend and i was looking through the call logs and scrolled through the history and it said that call was a 'conference call'. What does this mean.
    I'm used to seeing 'placed call, missed call, received call"

    A conference call is a call between three or more people. Your friend may have inadvertently hit the conference call feature and only added you to the call or it is possible there was a third person listening in.

    I keep getting a message saying this accessory is not optimised for this iPhone, what does this mean? I haven't downloaded anything

    If you are getting it when your iPhone is not connected to anything it probably means there is line/debris that is causing a short between the pins on your dock connector. Get a soft brush and clean it.

  • What it does mean with debug type is serial or debug type is usb or 1394?

    hi,
    I was reading in windows 7 bible  about  updating global debugger setting ,
    debug type can be serial ,or 1394, or usb  . 
    what it does mean exactly with telling debug type is serial or debug type is usb?
    thanks
    johan
    h.david

    This is referring to the type of connection you are using to debug.
    Serial -- uses a serial cable,  needs a connection to a 9 pin connector. This was the first out there, is still in use on Desktops,  not installed on laptops anymore.  Not much hardware supports serial anymore. 
    1394 -- refers to firewire.  Firewire was developed in the 90's (maybe late 80's).  This uses a firewire connection.  Not usually installed on Desktops,  sometimes still installed on laptops.  
    USB -- refers to a USB connection.  This is the most common connection you will find and use.  This is on its third standard now, called USB 3.0.  This is commonly used by cell phones, printers, Desktops, laptops, servers, and is used to connect
    keyboards, mouses, and other items.  
    Hope this helps. 

  • HT4101 What does it mean when it says that the USB device requires too much power?

    What does it mean when it says that the USB device requires too much power, when using the ipad lightening pin camera connection kit?

    Just that. The iPad allocates a certain amount of power to that port. If the device you're trying to plug in wants more than the iPad is willing to give, it'll trigger that warning.
    If it's something that you just must hook up you can try using a powered USB hub, but results are mixed at best.
    What are you trying to hook to your iPad?

    As it says perfectly clearly, right there in the API documentation for the method:
    "Returns -1 if no code can be discerned from the response (i.e., the response is not valid HTTP)."
