Emergency calls

About emergency calls and Emergency Callback Mode

If you are outside of a wireless coverage area and the SOS wireless coverage indicator appears at the top of the screen, you can

call only emergency numbers. Your BlackBerry® device is designed to allow emergency calls even when your device is locked.

Depending on your device model and the wireless network that your device is connected to, your device is also designed to

allow emergency calls when the SIM card is not inserted. If the connection to the wireless network is turned off when you

initiate an emergency call, your device is designed to connect to the wireless network automatically. You can make emergency

calls by typing only official emergency access numbers (for example, 911 or 112).

Note: You should not rely on any wireless device for essential communications, including medical emergencies. Emergency

numbers may vary by location and emergency calls may be blocked or impeded by network, environmental, or interference

issues.

If your device is connected to a CDMA network, when you end an emergency call, your device enters Emergency Callback

Mode. This mode allows the operator to call you back or find your approximate location. Depending on your wireless service

provider, Emergency Callback Mode is active for 5 minutes or until you make a non-emergency call. In Emergency Callback

Mode, you cannot send and receive messages or browse web pages.

If your device supports GPS and you make an emergency call, an emergency operator might be able to use GPS technology to

find your approximate location.

About smart dialing

With the smart-dialing feature, you can set a default country code and area code for phone numbers so that you do not have

to dial a country code and area code each time that you make a call, unless the country code or area code are different from

the default codes that you set. Some country codes are not supported by the smart-dialing feature.

In the smart-dialing options, you can also specify the main phone number for an organization that you call frequently so that

you can quickly call a contact in that organization by dialing only the extension for the contact. If you add contacts from that

organization to your contact list, when you add their phone numbers, you can type only the extensions instead of typing out

the main phone number for the organization.

Conference calls

About conference calls

You can create two types of conference calls with your BlackBerry® device. If your organization or a conferencing service has

provided you with a conference call bridge number, you can create conference call meetings in the calendar on your device or

computer. Conference call meetings allow participants who have a BlackBerry device to enter the conference call meeting with

a one-touch Join Now option, if this feature is supported on their device, so that they do not have to dial the conference call

bridge number and access codes. If you do not have a conference call bridge number, you can create a conference call by

calling other contacts and joining the calls together.

Make a conference call

Depending on your wireless service provider or your wireless service plan, this feature might not be supported.

If your BlackBerry® device is connected to a CDMA network, you cannot join more than two contacts to a conference call.

Synchronizing email

About synchronization

The wireless data synchronization feature is designed to synchronize organizer data (contacts, calendar entries, tasks, and

memos) between a subscriber's BlackBerry® smartphone and the email application on their computer over the wireless

network.

The wireless email reconciliation feature is designed to reconcile email between the subscriber's smartphone and the email

application on their computer over the wireless network. When a subscriber files or deletes email messages on their

smartphone, these email message should be filed or deleted in their email application. Likewise, any changes that they make to

email message in the email application on their computer should be reflected on the smartphone.

In rare cases, if a smartphone does not recognize fields in a contact, calendar entry, or email account, some data or email

cannot be synchronized or reconciled.

If wireless data synchronization or wireless email reconciliation is not available on the smartphone or if the subscriber turned

off these features, the subscriber can use the synchronization tool of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software to synchronize their

organizer data and email. For more information, see the Help in the BlackBerry Desktop Software.

Research In Motion recommends that you regularly create and save a backup file on your computer, especially before you

update any software. Maintaining an up-to-date backup file on your computer might allow you to recover device data if your

About cell broadcasting

Cell broadcasting is designed to enable wireless service providers to use SMS text messaging to send information to all

BlackBerry® devices in a specific geographical area simultaneously. You can receive cell broadcast messages that contain a

specific type of information by subscribing to a cell broadcast channel that provides that type of information. Different cell

broadcast channels send different cell broadcast messages. For example, one cell broadcast channel might send regular

weather forecasts while another might send traffic reports.

Turn on cell broadcasting

To perform this task, your BlackBerry® device must use a SIM card, and your wireless service provider must set up your SIM

card with a cell broadcast channel or provide you with the ID for a cell broadcast channel.

be supported.

About signing and encrypting messages

If your email account uses a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server that supports this feature, you can digitally sign or encrypt messages

to add another level of security to email and PIN messages that you send from your BlackBerry device. Digital signatures are

designed to help recipients verify the authenticity and integrity of messages that you send. When you digitally sign a message

Encryption is designed to keep messages confidential. When you encrypt a message, your device uses the recipient’s public key

to encrypt the message. Recipients use their private key to decrypt the message.

To send an encrypted PIN message, you must have a PIN and an email address for the contact in your contact list. Your device

uses the email address in your contact list to locate a PGP® key or certificate for the contact.

About message classifications

If your BlackBerry® device is associated with an email account that uses a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server that supports this

feature and your administrator turns on message classifications, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server applies a minimum set of

security actions to each message that you compose, forward, or reply to, based on the classification that you assign to the

message. Your administrator specifies the message classifications that you can use.

If you receive a message that uses message classifications, you can view the abbreviation for the classification in the subject

line of the message and the full description for the classification in the body of the message. You can also view the abbreviation

and full description for the classification for a sent message in the sent items folder.

To perform this task, your email account must use a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server that supports this feature and your

administrator must turn on message classifications.

Your BlackBerry device is designed to use the default message classification when you send a message to a contact that you

About message classifications

If your BlackBerry® device is associated with an email account that uses a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server that supports this

feature and your administrator turns on message classifications, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server applies a minimum set of

security actions to each message that you compose, forward, or reply to, based on the classification that you assign to the

message. Your administrator specifies the message classifications that you can use.

If you receive a message that uses message classifications, you can view the abbreviation for the classification in the subject

line of the message and the full description for the classification in the body of the message. You can also view the abbreviation

and full description for the classification for a sent message in the sent items folder.

Change the default message classification

To perform this task, your email account must use a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server that supports this feature and your

administrator must turn on message classifications.

Your BlackBerry device is designed to use the default message classification when you send a message to a contact that you

have not sent a message to or received a message from previously. If you have sent a message to or received a message from

the contact previously, your device tries to use the message classification that was used for the last message.

1. On the Home screen or in a folder, click the Options icon.

2. Click Device > Advanced System Settings > Default Services.

2. Click Security > PGP.

3. Select the check box beside one or more encryption algorithms.

Troubleshooting: PGP protected messages

Some signing and encryption options are not available on my device

Try performing the following actions:

• Verify that the email account that you are using supports all signing and encryption options.

• If you use message classifications, verify that the message classification supports the signing or encryption options that

you want. Try using a different message classification.

I cannot open an attachment in an encrypted message

The attachment information might not be available on the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, your administrator might have set

options to prevent you from opening attachments in encrypted messages, or you might have received the message from an

email account that does not support attachments in encrypted messages.

You cannot open an attachment in a PGP® protected message that was encrypted using the OpenPGP format by an IBM® Lotus

Notes® client working with PGP® Desktop Professional or that was encrypted by the PGP® Universal Server.
