Some features aren't available on my smartphone
The availability of certain features on your BlackBerry® smartphone might be affected by items such as your smartphone model and wireless service plan.
Depending on your messaging service plan, some features or options might not be available in the message options on the Email Preferences screen.
If your email account uses a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, your organisation might not have set up some features or might prevent you from using some features or options. If your administrator has set an option for you, a lock indicator appears beside the option field.
For more information about the features that are available on your smartphone, contact your wireless service provider or administrator, or visit www.blackberry.com/go/devices.
