MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
I'm going on holiday soon and I dont want to be disturbed by e-mails from work during my time off. If they need me they can call me.
I have looked at the various menus on the blackberrry and cant find how to just have it as a phone.
Is this possible at all?
Or can you take the SIM card and stick in an ordinary mobile?
Sorry if these are numpty questions but I dont have a scooby about such matters.
Cheers

Go to the profiles, and select "phone only". That ought to do it.
Otherwise, it can be done other ways, but I can't remember what I did to get there..!
you can swap sim and switch off just e-mail somewhere in settings but i had an older model think you can switch off the data bit but cant recall how.
You going to this bbq?
what BB is it?
Turn data services off, settings->network rings a bell. My wife does it at night, turns her email off at 5.30. Calls, SMS etc all work just no email.
go to your Inbox
press the blackberry button
scroll down & select Options
scroll down & select Email Settings
if you have multiple email accounts, select the account called Desktop (assuming you have a Blackberry Server at work)
Where it says Send Email to Handheld choose No
Press the blackberry button and select Save.
Has does email disturb you as opposed to getting a call? Don't tell me you have an alert tone for a new email? If someone needs to get hold of you desperately presumably they'd call anyway so I just leave email on and browse through it if I get bored.
I guess if you have the e-mail switched off, it removes the temptation to have a look and start working.
Turn it off, pour beer, feet up, job done.
You might find the options are 'locked' by the Administrator.
thanks folks just did what hot fiat said. Hopefully it will be off for the night as a test run.
