Blackberry Connect on T-Mobile MDA, on Web&Walk tarrif?

Over Clocker · 22 Mar 2008 at 13:17

Hi Guys,

I've got a T-Mobile MDA Compact III on Web and Walk. Up till now I've connected this to our Exchange Server using ActiveSync which has worked fine, but I now want to try it using Blackberry Connect. I've set up the BES on our server which is all fine, and have installed the BlackBerry Connect software onto the MDA, and all installed fine.

THing is, it won't connect up to the service. Does the standard Web & Walk tarriff support this, or do I need a different tarriff?

Thanks guys,

Mal

I'm only just learning about Blackberrys, but I think you need a specific Blackberry data plan, a regular one won't do it.

Which sucks, as I've just joined a Blackberry-using company, and was hoping I could just install the software on my Vario III and sync with their BES, but apparently not.

Ahh right. I will have to call up T Mobile and see if they will change my plan to one that supports Blackberry.

Thanks!

Don't take that as gospel, as I said, I've only just started learning about them recently.

But calling and asking their CS team can't hurt...

im not so sure actually, for bberrys you definitely need a special plan but for this i have an inkling that you can use normal wnw.. call up tmobile say blackberry thye will put you through to their special team and ask them i guess...
