Pin number

[Rands]

I see that some people have their bb pin as part of their sig (CranialBlaze). Is it ok to publicly disply the pin in such a way? What harm (if any) can come of someone getting hold of this pin number?

As far as I know, they would have to invite you and you would have to accept the invitation before they can start sending you messages.

so its really only used for BBM?

My friend who has a BB has just told me as well that if someone knows your pin then they can send you 'pin messages' without you having to accept first. That works outside of BBM so it's almost the same as someone just sending you an sms because they have your number.
