BlackBerry Internet Service

BIS is BlackBerry for individuals and smaller organisations

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.

Why go mobile with BlackBerry?

BlackBerry lets you deal with your email anywhere, anytime. As soon as a message arrives, your BlackBerry lets you know. You don't need to log on or manually check. Your emails arrive just like TXTs. You don't have to take a laptop with you to access your email, or even to access the web. Your BlackBerry does it all.

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:

  • You can manage up to 10 of your email addresses, each one with its own signature, filters and inbox.
  • Browse the web anywhere, in full colour
  • Keep your calendar, contacts, tasks and memos with you wherever you go

How much does it cost?

We have a choice of three data Add-ons for BIS users which offer great value for money. You can choose our email focussed 100MB bundle, or the larger 200MB and 1GB bundles. These larger bundles are ideal if you are doing a lot of web browsing, mapping and navigation, social networking and IM, or connecting your BlackBerry to your laptop as a wireless modem - which we call 'Via The Phone'.
