How to Activate a Blackberry Enterprise

Blackberry Enterprise is a system that allows a Blackberry user to receive and send email from a server, such as one at your workplace, on the Blackberry phone. If you are setting up Blackberry Enterprise for your work email, the system administrator may complete much of the work on your behalf. The system administrator will add the Blackberry account to the server, making it possible for the Blackberry user to complete the activation remotely using the Blackberry phone.

Instructions

1. Ensure that you are able to receive and send email using a computer from the email account that you are activating. If the account is not functioning prior to Enterprise activation, it will not function afterward. Also check to ensure your Blackberry has service and that it is disconnected from the computer.
2. Obtain the email address and password to use for activation from your system administrator. The system administrator will set up the address on the Enterprise server so that you may activate it using your phone.
3. Open the Blackberry Enterprise activation menu by navigating to "Options" and choosing "Advanced Options." Select the Enterprise activation icon and open the program on your phone.
4. Enter the email address and password that your system administrator provided to you under the headings "email" and "password."
5. Use the "Menu" button on the phone to open the menu and select "Activate". The phone will activate the Enterprise and send an email to your account, which will return to the phone to complete the activation. The phone will synchronize with the email account and you will receive a pop up that tells you when activation is complete.
6. Click on the "OK" button that appears when the phone is activated.
