Blackberry Services

To receive BlackBerry access on campus, the department must submit the Mobile Authorization Form and complete an IRAM Request (requires UTMB intranet access).

Pricing:

BlackBerry devices connecting to the BES will require a support fee of $10 per month to cover server license and server support costs.


Messaging:

Pin-to-Pin: BlackBerry devices support direct PIN to PIN emailing; if you know the PIN of your recipient's BlackBerry, you can compose an email message using the PIN instead of the email address.


BlackBerry Messenger: Use BlackBerry Messenger to chat with other BlackBerry smartphone users in an easy-to-use instant messaging format.


Please be aware that PIN to PIN and Blackberry messenger does not provide the security and encryption that you get with sending regular e-mails. They are transmitted in plain text, which allows anyone who intercepts a message to read it.
