BlackBerry paging is an add-on to the basic BlackBerry™ email service. You must be a subscriber to the BlackBerry 
Paging Service for these functions to work.

When you subscribe to BlackBerry paging, you are provided with two paging numbers: a seven-digit paging personal 
identification number (PIN), and a ten-digit Internet paging PIN. Note that these are different from your handheld 
PIN. The appropriate PIN is specified in the corresponding sections below.

There are several ways to page someone’s handheld:

•

numeric dial-up

•

email

•

Internet

•

telelocator alphanumeric paging protocol (TAP)

This is the most common paging method. Callers dial a toll-free number to reach the Basic or Enhanced paging service. 

1. Dial 1-877-572-4322 on a touch-tone phone.

2. After the welcome greeting, press 1.

3. Type your seven-digit paging PIN.

4. After the custom greeting, type a numeric message using the telephone keypad.

1. Dial your personal toll-free number on a touch-tone phone.

2. After the custom greeting, leave a voice message or type a numeric message with the telephone keypad. 

You can page someone over email using the address ten-digit Internet Paging PIN@pagebb.net. Email pages arrive on 
your handheld as a new message to which you cannot reply.

Messages can be sent through an Internet interface. On the www.blackberry.com web site, go to the Support section. 
Select BlackBerry Paging and then click Send a page to a BlackBerry handheld and follow the on-screen instructions. 
Always use the ten-digit Internet paging PIN to page people over the Internet.

Note: For security reasons, you must change your personal access code from the default. Refer to “Configuration” on page 3 for 
more information.
