BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) is perfect if you want simple mobile email access to your ISP or webmail email accounts.
BIS hooks your BlackBerry device into your existing email accounts. You receive your email messages immediately, wherever you are, as easily as you now receive TXTs. If you can use email, you can use BlackBerry. It really is that simple.
Its easy to use, its always on and there is no complicated connection process. In fact, setting up an email account is as easy as entering your email address and password on your BlackBerry. In most cases, your email will be configured automatically, in seconds.
And when you get back to your PC, you can synchronise your BlackBerry so that all your messages, contacts, calendars and tasks are the same in both places.
And of course, your BlackBerry is also a powerful, fully featured mobile phone. You can have all your calling, TXTing, emails and web access on one device.
Some of the features of BlackBerry Internet Service include:
We have a choice of three data Add-ons for BIS users which offer great value for money. You can choose our BIS Smartplan add-on, that is included in the plan, or the larger 200MB. These larger bundles are ideal if you are doing a lot of streaming or connecting your BlackBerry to your laptop as a wireless modem - which we call 'Via The Phone'.
