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.

Had to call up VZW to reset my user name and pswd. Didn’t seem to need to set up a blackberry email account. Salesperson was friendly and helpful. However, i did have to give her my login info/pswd to my email accounts in order to verify. Glad i’m no longer advertising against my will! thanks!

I appreciate the info, because your answer was short and simple versus all the BB support docs I looked at never actually said WHAT TO DO! I've never had a BB before and, quite frankly, my boss doesn't need to know I might not have been at my home office when I reploy to her emails! Thanks big time for your help.
I used the info you provided to get the signature off of my old bb. I just received a new one (insurance, charger port busted) and tried the same thing again at https://bis.na.blackberry.com/html?brand=vzw. It isn't working this time though. Both of my signature boxes are blank online, but it still shows up in my emails. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Not sure. Contact your service provider.
