Tip: BlackBerry - Number Lock & CAPS Lock

By Amy Mayer
February 7, 2008

You BlackBerry’s NUM lock function can come in handy when you need to use your keypad as a number pad. While not super-obvious, it is easier to locate than your smartphone’s CAPS lock.

  • To launch num lock:

    Hold the # (also the shift) key down, then press ALT.

    When you're ready to return to letters:

    simply press the ALT key.

  • CAPS lock takes a bit more effort launch. If all you want is one capital letter, just press the # key, then the letter you want capitalized. But for CAPS lock, the key combination is :

    # and the green phone button.

    That's right, you hold down the #, or shift, key and then you press the green button as though you were going to make a phone call.

    Exit the phone screen and you'll go back to your message with CAPS lock on. To turn it off:

    again press # and the green phone.

    Cumbersome? Yes. But maybe just enough to calm your rage so you don’t send that message in all caps after all.
