Just about every wireless carrier has multiple BlackBerry Data Plans available to the end user. One for BIS, and one for BES (which also includes BIS).
The BES data plan is typically about $20.00 more per month, and is absolutely necessary if you plan on activating the device on a BES. No way around it. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Watkins, Chris Sent: Wednesday, August 12, 2009 12:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Bes-admins] BES communications to Blackberry via Sprint/Nextel Hey Everyone, Question for you if you could answer this for me, I'm the BES admin for our company, we have been having major issues with our blackberry's losing the BES functionality on their devices. We have Sprint/Nextel as our service provider and the reason for losing the connectivity is our phones did not have the "BES add-on" attached to their data plans. Sprint is explaining the problem as they are doing audit's on their system recognizing the missing service and pulling the BES service books from the phone causing the devices to lose connectivity with our server. This add-on is $20 additional per device per month, on top of the "Sprint simply everything plan" with 75 users this of course add's up to a quite a bit of additional money each month. Do any of you use Sprint/Nextel and are you paying for a BES Add-on to your data plans? If your using another carrier are you being charged a monthly fee for use of communicating via BES?
