How to Receive Files With Bluetooth on a BlackBerry

How to Receive Files With Bluetooth on a BlackBerry thumbnail
Send files to your phone using Bluetooth.

BlackBerry smartphones are capable of sending and receiving files directly through the phone or via Bluetooth. You can send files from one phone to another via text message; but with Bluetooth, you can receive actual files from a Bluetooth-enabled device. To receive files on your BlackBerry with Bluetooth, you must first enable Bluetooth on both devices and then pair them. Pairing links the devices wirelessly; for example, you can pair a Bluetooth earpiece and a BlackBerry or your computer and the phone. The steps to turn on Bluetooth vary, depending on which model BlackBerry you own; check your user manual for specific instructions. Once you've turned Bluetooth on, you can receive files on your BlackBerry.
