Hello Kitty ! Am I correct in my understanding that:
1. RIM can track BBM activity as it is the service provider for Blackberries. RIM does not have a record of what the BBM messages said ... but does know who originated them, who received them, and the times sent and received - including any delay in reciept.
Yes to everything except the records of the messages, I do not know if they do or do not have records of messages, I don't work for RIM.
2. RIM does not have a record of text messages as they are not internet based.
Rim has nothing to do with text messages That is strictly a carrier service.
3. RIM does keep track of phone calls made from a Blackberry for billing purposes - the same I assume for incoming calls as it is air time.
No, the carrier keeps tracks of phone calls/data etc. Rim keeps track of Blackberry messenger because BBM is strictly a RIM product. The carrier can track data that BBM generates tho. But only as data, they would not know it was a BBM message, we guess because so little data is used during a BBM transmission
4. It is possible that RIMs records would therefore show BBM activity (ie 24
messages to one BBM contact) and cell phone voice calls.
If there was text activity AT ANY TIME during those 24 hours, RIM would have no record.
Bolded by me: Yes Blue color: No Red coloured
no) Text messages are tracked by carrier, not RIM. Text messages have nothing to do with RIM Altho, they may not know it was text, they would still know the phone was used at that time
Thx! You rock at this stuff!!!
