With VZW, we've never been asked, nor told VZW, that we're using a BES. The BBs "just work". Other carriers may be different. I don't remember for Nextel. We *have* had a case where VZW provisioned a mobile subscriber incorrectly. It wasn't in their system as BlackBerry at all, they had it as some other kind of mobile device. *That* caused the BB to not work. > You pay for the data plan ($20, $30, $40, whatever). Sure. VZW calls it an "email plan", but same thing. But if you don't subscribe to said email plan, you don't get email on the BB *at all*. It's not an extra fee for BES. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
