About PIN messages
A PIN uniquely identifies BlackBerry® devices and BlackBerry enabled devices on the wireless network. If you have a contact who uses a
BlackBerry device or a BlackBerry enabled device and you know that contact's PIN, you can send them PIN messages. PIN messages are not
routed through your email account.
When your PIN message is delivered to the recipient, in a message inbox, a D appears with a check mark beside the PIN message.
