    True. Issue with that is I don't want people to have my ID. Better you get a permanent PIN.
    Knowing the solution doesn't mean knowing the method. Yet answering correctly and regurgitation are considered "learning" and "knowledge".

    This move makes complete sense, with the release of The BB10 os Blackberry no longer gets revenue from the "service or special blackberry plan" because the need for it was removed with the release of the new OS. The messenger will give whatsapp a real fight IMHO.
    Previous Devices -> SE P1i , Nokia E75, Blackberry 9900 OS 7.1, HTC One

    Current Device -> LG G6
