No it doesn't, but it is important to understand the costs of having an in-house (BES) system.
You are going to have to buy the following Blackberry Enterprise Server User CAL's T-Support (unless you want to fly with no support). Now this of course isn't including the cost of a server and a Windows server license. I run mine in a VM but used to run it on a desktop class PC. Carriers charge for a BB Enterprise wireless plan as well and that's needed to use BES. That's probably where that $20 charge is coming from. I don't think I have seen a carrier yet who doesn't charge for the enterprise fee. If this is all cost prohibitive, you should change course to Windows Mobile for sure.

Our sales guys are getting new Nextel Blackberry's. I want to look into setting up our own Blackberry server. Nextel is telling us that it will cost $20/month per phone to use the phones with an in-house Blackberry server. Is this what you are paying also? Doesn't this make it cost prohibitive to have an in-house Blackberry server?
