Email and PIN messages

sent from or received by your handheld are routed through an

You can also send and receive PIN messages. A personal

handheld on the network. If you know another persons handheld 
PIN, you can send a PIN message to that person. PIN messages are 
not routed through an existing email account.
Tip: To locate your handheld PIN, open the options application. The Options 
screen appears. Click Status. The PIN field displays your PIN.
