wow...ammm....well if they already take out d sim, that is a problem. was gonna ask you if you on google latitude but even if u were, you wud have signed out as soon as d person remove d sim.

not sure if anyone else knows how to track it even if a different sim is in there.

consider it gone, if you didn't take steps to protect it then you probably don't deserve to own one

allyuh sure that bbprotect thing does work if sim is removed?
a digicel rep told me it only works if it has a full bis enabled sim in the phone, if they remove the simcard...you can't do anything :s

bess yuh crazy glue yuh battery cover to your phone yes.

well of course it cant remote wipe the phone if bis is not activated or wifi is turned on.....

reality is half of BB owners rocking prepaid with NO bis, poser ftl

Chimera · Postby **Chimera** » May 23rd, 2011, 9:38 pm

so it's useless unless a fully bis enabled sim is in the phone?

so if u get gunbutt to head now..and spranger take out the simcard and give u back it or dash it away 20 secs later...bbprotect useless right?

as well as they do a reset factory from options or just type in wrong password 10 times if you have a password on the phone that will remove blackberry protect?

as far as researching about it, once the pin is in use (once it is logged as stolen/lost), it will notify the original user via email
the pin is logged with rim as lost/stolen

digicel rep told me that they provision the sim card and not the device though :s
so once simcard out...daz it

as i said i just repeating what the digicel rep. told me.

I always believed that when you have a full bis service, that the service is attached to the PIN on the blackberry handset.

Its a phone.....move on and buy another

i use this:

https://www.wavesecure.com/

(it's not free but it's cheap; though i guess most of you still wont pay for it)

once the phone detects another sim in it,it locks it and alarms until you take the battery out or put the pin in :mrgreen:

I'm good at losing phones, pretty expensive ones too. I frequent leaving them on top my car and driving off, yet still when my last phone got destroyed a few weeks ago by falling in the toilet bowl, I went full speed ahead and got a BB torch. Hope I can keep this one safe!

sry for ur loss pal....its't just a material object in ur life!
