If you are a non-BES user (Blackberry Enterprise Server) - or if you bought your own Blackberry as opposed to your company giving it to you - you may wonder how to change that default signature block that gets appended to the end of all your Blackberry-sent messages. Mine was, “Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry”. I hate that for a few reasons:
1. Verizon Wireless doesn’t pay me to advertise for them.
2. I don’t necessarily need people to know I can be reached at anytime, anyplace.
3. I want to set my own signature.
When I worked for Northrop Grumman, I supported Blackberrys so I know that in a corporate environment, you can change the signature via Redirector Settings but that is only available if you set the Blackberry up in the BES environment - something most of us small business people probably don’t have access to.
After several months of digging, and tons of bad advice from the internet, I discovered that Blackberry provides a standard web portal for managing email accounts directly from the web. Though I can only confirm this works for Verizon Wireless, my research leads me to believe it will work with any carrier.
Follow these steps:
- Browse to https://bis.na.blackberry.com/html?brand=vzw. Replace vzw with your own provider. I tested cingular, telus and rogers and each have their own branding. I’d imagine this would work for other providers as well.
- Login with the account information you typically log into Email Settings on the handheld.
- From here, signatures can be edited, email accounts can be added, removed, etc.
I’d be interested to hear from non-Verizon Wireless customers as to whether this works.

Can’t you also do it from within the email options on the bberry itself?

I think just cingular. On Firefox there’s a broken image which tells me their branding is screwed up but I’d think this would be the url:
https://bis.na.blackberry.com/html?brand=cingular
