IMPORTANT: Wipe your Blackberry Data before you dispose it; How to


These days, most of us are migrating to android mobile platforms. Here is an advice for you, before you give away your BlackBerry device, it is very important you ensure that all your data is securely deleted from the phone.

This is can be referred to as "Formatting" or "Security wipe" and is followed by complete wiping off of all the  phone data via the BlackBerry operating system which phone itself runs on.

This format can also be performed even if the phone is not working properly or you probably want to install a software update to the phone.


This can be done following these steps
1. Turn on your device.
2. Goto the "Options" menu.
3. Click the "Security Options" menu.
4. Click on "General Settings" option.
5. Now select "Wipe Handheld."
6. Type the security check "blackberry" when it prompts you to do so to confirm the wipe.
7. Congrats on your successful wipe of phone data.

OR
On your phones default search bar, type "Security Wipe" to locate it straight without following steps 2, 3, 4 above. You'll see it under "Options" in your search results.
