Hi Tony:

Yes, this means there is an IT policy installed and from what you wrote, it would appear it is working and only allowing data to flow.

Before we discuss wiping the device, is this BB now yours personally? Do you still work for the company that owned it? Do they know you are using it personally?

I ask because attempting to wipe the device does have risk as it is a hack. If reconnected to the corporate network the original IT policy will be reinstalled making this a futile exercise.

If you still work for the company and they are allowing you to use the device for personal use then you really should talk to the BB Admin to see if they would remove the policy for you. That would be the best approach.

What say you?
