How To Change Your Signature on a Blackberry
If you are a non-BES user (Blackberry Enterprise Server) – or if you bought your own Blackberry as opposed to your company giving it to you – you may wonder how to change that default signature block that gets appended to the end of all your Blackberry-sent messages. Mine was, “Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry”. I hate that for a few reasons:
1. Verizon Wireless doesn’t pay me to advertise for them.
2. I don’t necessarily need people to know I can be reached at anytime, anyplace.
3. I want to set my own signature.
When I worked for Northrop Grumman, I supported Blackberrys so I know that in a corporate environment, you can change the signature via Redirector Settings but that is only available if you set the Blackberry up in the BES environment – something most of us small business people probably don’t have access to.
After several months of digging, and tons of bad advice from the internet, I discovered that Blackberry provides a standard web portal for managing email accounts directly from the web. Though I can only confirm this works for Verizon Wireless, my research leads me to believe it will work with any carrier.
Follow these steps:
- Browse to https://bis.na.blackberry.com/html?brand=vzw. Replace vzw with your own provider. I tested cingular, telus and rogers and each have their own branding. I’d imagine this would work for other providers as well.
- Login with the account information you typically log into Email Settings on the handheld.
- From here, signatures can be edited, email accounts can be added, removed, etc.
I’d be interested to hear from non-Verizon Wireless customers as to whether this works.

Welcome to tech support Joseph. I’m tired of Verizon jacking up my
Blackberry 8830 with no GPS. Now we’re even. ;-)
Your gps doesn’t work or you don’t want to use VZnav? If you even need anything let me know. I just happened across this site but looks good. There is a software update from blackberry from your phone depending on when you got it. There have actually been two. You can get the updated os from the blackberry website and use the desktop manager to install it. “We never stop working for you.”

I don’t want to get shook down by Verizon for more money when I’m already
paying $180/mo for data and voice on different phones. I want the GPS that
is built in by RIM and that is available when buying the phone from your
competitors.
Read one of my latest post on Walled Gardens. VZW is a walled garden. Let my
GPS go. I want to use Google Maps, not VZNav.

I guess that ’s the price we pay to be on America’s most reliable. i know we’re not perfect, but we really are trying. I am anyway.

This is an advertising free zone unless VZW is paying. ;-) Don’t give me
slogans. Show me you care. Pull strings and unlock my Blackberry. I respect
your willingness to have dialogue. I don’t want to hear petty slogans
though. I want results.

I know we can unlock the 8830 to be used with sims from other carriers. I’m not sure if that also unlocks the gps services. I will see what I can find at work tomorrow. I’ll post what I find when I get off work. Thank you for your appreciation of my banter. I’ll be sure to keep my slogans to the signature on my blackberry. ;-P

Wow, Joseph, are you serious? Let’s flip it around for you… I sell you a car, and to get a good deal on the price, you’re restricted to only buy gas at Qwik-E-Marts, and you can’t shift higher than second gear. You call me up to complain about the shifting problem, and I tell you “well, that’s the price you pay for having the convenience of buying gas at Qwik-E-Marts, they’re everywhere. “
It’s an intentionally crippled product, and having a phone that works to make a phone call shouldn’t be a reward, that should be a given.
