selling blackberry. what happens to PIN code?

[johndoe1983]

Hi Guys, i'm selling my blackberry bold 9900. But was wondering, what happens to the PIN?
When I sell it, and take out my sim card... does the person also take over my PIN? (the one my friends have of me on BBM?)

Or by wiping the device, and putting in a new sim card - does he get a unique pin for bbm?

Thanks for your help

BlackBerry PINs are part of the device, you cannot change them. When you sell your device, make sure you backup using BlackBerry Protect/ BlackBerry Device Manager before you wipe it.

The person who will buy your device will have to use their existing BBID or create one in order to use the device and BBM, so they will not import any of your contacts. If you are planning on buying another BlackBerry device (or will use the Cross-platform BBM), you will use the same BBID that you are using on your 9900 and all your contacts will be imported and they wont even notice you changed phones.

Thanks alot for the response... one more question. Is there any app out there that works like Google drive, dropbox... where if I take a pic or have media on my blackberry.. It'll automatically backup my media to a cloud of sorts? Ive Googled around.. but only thing I can find is the desktop manager software for blackberry which synchs via usb or wifi.. :/
