Is this what you mean:

"Just been given a blackberry that already has paypal set up on it. How can I delete it and use own account?"


I would say because it has all your friends data. Wipe the handheld device and check 'delete third party applications' to delete all PayPal stored data.

p.s. Would I be right in saying you opened this thread on your new BlackBerry and are yet to get used to the keypad :D

Bah! Must activate the IQ testing. Bah

Once you have cleared your phone, reinstall PayPal mobile app and use your new info, change your IP and record it.

Anyone know if what I said sounds right? I dont use paypal on my mobile!

From what little I know:

it is impossible to "change an ip" on a bberry. Mobile apps are linked to your sim number or bbm, (not sure which) which make them extremely susceptible to linkage.

Basically - It's my understanding that if you use your smartphone with the PP app you're gonna get raped. I've heard there are apps that can help with this on the iPhones but I'm a bberry user and know nothing about MACrap
