El oh el.
I've noticed that some of the devices I update immediately reactivate themselves. No clue how this happened. Once device was back on the carriers' network, I have the user go to EA and they say it is activating now. Weird...

Every time a new beta OS comes out for my wife's Storm I load it on for her, and she has to call her IT department to have them setup an OTA activation... ________________________________ From: "Eggan, Mark" <[email protected]> To: "A list for BES Admin's to discuss issues, etc." <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 5, 2009 4:33:54 PM Subject: Re: [Bes-admins] Out of curiosity Was just typing that out. Another thing I do is (assuming the can place bread in a toaster and make toast) I have them call me during MY work hours and hold their hands. Knowing which device and OS level is optimal so you can say the spiel below. Once I hear the people say that they can now see ...waiting for services on their BB, I let them know to have a nice day and keep their manual handy. Preferably under their keyboard where they keep their passwords!

Maybe less then 2% of my remote users ever have any problems and if they do, it's normally not their fault and it's a Anti-Spam rule that's blocking the .dat email and throwing it in their junk email. audit Art Alexion wrote: > I see a lot of issues on this list from many who support remote users > all over the world, but no one mentions problems getting non-technical, > remote users' phones activated. > > After supporting Treo in their late and flaky years, I expected BES to > be a godsend.
