BlackBerry device basics
About switching devices
Your BlackBerry® device links to the BlackBerry® Mail messaging service. If you switch your device, you must update the device PIN on the
BlackBerry Mail web site or call your wireless service provider. When you log in to the BlackBerry Mail web site, you must provide the new device
PIN. If you do not update the device PIN, email messages continue to be sent to your previous device.
Depending on your wireless service provider, you might not be able to switch devices.
If you want to use BlackBerry Mail, you can only switch to a BlackBerry device. BlackBerry enabled devices do not support BlackBerry Mail.
