Note it's "mycingular", not "cingular" -- accounts will not work if the branding is not set properly.
thank you very much!

Thanks,

This was great advice as I also did not need the world to know that I can be reached all the time.
I am a T-mobile customer The signature feature cannot be changed from the device itself, it comes up with an error message.
So for T-MOBILE customers, all you need to do is log into your mytmobile account and at the bottom of the page under messaging, there is Blackberry internet email, click setup internet email and you'll be able to change the signature.
The call took 10 minutes of my time, and the account was active on the BB site (link above) within 5 minutes of the call.
Once your account is set, you'll be able to log in and make the changes. You can add email accounts and specify a different signature for each.
I have an BB 8830 with VZW. I tried to do this (I SO thought that I was on the right trail), but I cannot log in online. I tried to create an account, but it said "Use the blackberry Internet Service" or something to that degree. So, now what? GREAT equipment, this is a bit odd to me why this is so hard though...
Let me know thoughts - thanks!

I too have an 8830 from vzw. the trick is to create a username/password. You will be 'warned' that you now have secure access directly from your phone, and that if you continue, you will have to manually log in. I selected ok, created a username and password. I was then prompted to confirm the passwords for my ISP email accounts.
When that was all complete, I was able to log into the web site from my computer. You can change signatures by selecting the 'edit' option for each email account.
hope this helps
Like so many people...I refuse to be a commerical for any telcom company (the devil). Can someone please help me? It's like it cached me somehow, and won't let me get in.
I was using firefox but IE did the same thing.
Luckily I found this site on my first attempt at a search on how to do this.
Thanks for making this easy!!
When I went to http://bis.na.blackberry.com/html/ for my Blackberry Curve for AT&T to create a service account. I typed in my pin and IMEI number, and I get this message. "Your account is not accessible via HTML browser. Please use your device to access BlackBerry Internet Service."
And when I try to go there on my blackberry, I get the message... "The site cannot be accessed in this manner. Please use the URL or link provided to you by your service provider."
And of course, if I use the icon link provided by AT&T to get on the whatever site it is, I don't have the option to change the signature (ie. you can read the entry but not change it).
If anyone has any brilliant idea to change/remove the annoying signature of "sent via Blackberry by AT&T"... I would even be happy to take you out to lunch! Please help! (Otherwise, I might have to append a comment like "AT&T sucks" to precede that message.)
1. Go to http://bis.na.blackberry.com/html/ from your 8830's Internet browser
2. Choose 'Create User Name'
3. Read the notification and accept
4. Enter the username and password of your choice, then save
5. If you've already configured an email account, you will be prompted to re-validate your credentials for this email account
6. Once complete, go to http://bis.na.blackberry.com/html/ on your computer's web browser (not on the 8830) then log in with the username and password you just created from your 8830
7. Either choose to edit the options for your configured email account or add a new account and you will be able to change the signature.
For AT&T Blackberry Curve, use your blackberry browser and go to http://www.att.com/blackberrystart and setup an account. Login there and make your changes to your signature.
Called AT&T, asked for Email and Messaging, and a very nice technician simply had to log into my BIS for me (he will reset yr password if you don't want to disclose it) and was able to change the signature in seconds.
No idea why he could edit the field and not me, but hey, no more silly "Sent via Blackberry by AT&T"!!!!!!
All attempts to log onto the pages with my PC have brought me to error pages.
What gives? Anyone gotten this to work on Sprint lately?
Firefox works fine though.
So i went into my Blackberry > Email Set-Up > Settings > Create new account..
Then i used those credentials to login to the website and it worked fine. No phonecall involved (because even 10 mins of being on a call witha call center is painful)
3 mailboxes with all dif signatures!
Cheers!

Am I missing something?
Has anyone figured out how to make the internal GPS work on the 8830? I would like to use Google Maps and not have to buy a GPS puck or pay for Verizon\'s overpriced nav. I know the 8830 has a built in GPS and VZ shuts it down before the customers get them, has anyone figured out how to turn it back on? I am been on the crackberry pages and they have not made any progress on their own or after talking to the VZ reps. Any help would be outstanding.......

I've had problems opening the pages on IE7 but not on IE6
Error (The site cannot be accessed in this manner. Please use the URL or link provided to you by your service provider.)
I've used firefox portable and it works from that.
http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_p...
(download file, run, creates a folder and you can firefox from there - doesn't install on local machine - can delete files once done or save onto a USB drive and take with you. Good for citrix or terminal server environments)
I also am accessing work through OMA and can't get a signature there either. Very frustrating. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
I wonder if VZW limited yet another feature on one of their phones?
For non enterprise server sprint users, goto: www.sprint.blackberry.com. You will see the same interface as if you were going to the email setup located on your blackberry. Select edit next to the email account you wish to change and change the signature.
The Blackberry Internet service addresses have changed a bit. I suggest you contact your service provider.
Today I decided to do research on how to remove this stupid signature from my new blackberry. I spent about 10 minutes on the unit and realized, like you did, that it is etched in stone and can't be edited from the unit. I then turned to google, was directed to your board and I'm going say maybe in 4 minutes I had my signature changed, thanks to You.
Mine is a Nextel unit and https://bis.na.blackberry.com/html?brand=nextel was the Link.
Thanks again Man!
Paul
Looking forward to getting rid of that sig!
Thanks
Thank you for your help! It was very informative and to the point.

What Jim says is correct, you need to set up a user name on the device and a password, then log in from the website and edit your signatures there. You cannot edit them from the BB itself.
Check out the link.

I followed all the advice above, for the at&t blackberry; I created a username and password through the device (this isn't easy to find, you need to go to bis.na.blackberry.com through the device's browser). I still found that I could not log in from a normal PC (I got an error saying "this site cannot be accessed in this way). However, I was able to log in fine when I cleared all cache and cookies from my desktop browser (in Firefox, Tools > Clear Private Data). The site leaves some incorrect information when you try to log in without setting up the account, and this persists after you've set it up.
Go to Message, options, email settings.
THANK YOU!!!!
Just changed the signature line on my Curve!
Thanks Again!!!

Blackberry 8830 with no GPS. Now we're even. ;-)
paying $180/mo for data and voice on different phones. I want the GPS that
is built in by RIM and that is available when buying the phone from your
competitors.
Read one of my latest post on Walled Gardens. VZW is a walled garden. Let my
GPS go. I want to use Google Maps, not VZNav.
slogans. Show me you care. Pull strings and unlock my Blackberry. I respect
your willingness to have dialogue. I don't want to hear petty slogans
though. I want results.
It's an intentionally crippled product, and having a phone that works to make a phone call shouldn't be a reward, that should be a given.
