BlackBerry Internet services back online (11 October 2011)
Research in Motion reports that the issues causing downtime of their Internet services has been resolved
It seems once again that Vodacom has issues. I have no BIS access to internet and BBM / email / not going through. I called the VC Call centre and they confirmed "some" issues with BIS and blackberry - AGAIN!
No longer acceptable.
Vodacom: #EpicFail
Vodacom announced that they will throttle the speed of BlackBerry Internet Service subscribers using more than 100MB per month. Internet users are not happy
I Normally download mp3s and small video clips here and there and over the last week i had about r200 airtime. I am on a Topup100 package and i have a Blackberry 9300.
I checked my balance Friday i had R0.00.
I called MTN and they said i have been charged for Internet services. Correct me...
MTN investigating slow BlackBerry Internet Service
BlackBerry users on MTN complaining about slow speeds report being told that the yellow network has implemented a fair usage policy on BIS.
Hey Guys,
I have a huge problem with my Blackberry (torch 9800)! Whenever I use the actual Internet browser on my phone it uses my airtime instead of using the BIS - Facebook, BBM and UberSocial still use BIS instead of my actual Airtime. The only things that I have done to the settings of my...
Hi
I've heard different things from cellc representatives, so i'm wondering what other peoples experiences are.
On a control chat 150 contract, i will get a bb and R150 airtime.
Can the R59/month for BIS be subtracted off this R150?
Or will i have to pay that on top of the 150 to get BIS?
I have found that with at least 2 Blackberry Devices running the BIS service from Vodacom that the device does not allow you to access the said free internet without their being an positive balance on your device.
This alarms me since when I check my bills I see no charges for Internet but...
A few years ago when VODACOM first introduced what is now the R59pm BlackBerry BIS service, it was a R59pm "bolt on" service that could be added to most phones. From what I can recall, it allowed you to use a BlackBerry Connect compatible phone to get all the cool BIS features, apart from BBM...
Hi guys
I have a Blackberry 9700 (which I LOVE, will never again have anything other than BB). I've been searching now for quite a bit, but can't seem to get the answer I am looking for.
In order to use BIS - do you need to turn Wi-Fi on under connections?
It would appear that this is...
So after much trial and error I find out that Vodacom does not allow you to use your top up airtime to subscribe to the BIS service. Their reasoning is that it's a VAS service and hence needs to be billed separately.
My Question is:
1) I am paying R315 a month for my airtime so why am I...
Hi
Last week my sis changed/renewed her contract form a topup315 to a Topup135(i think) and choose a blackberry as her new phone.
Now after a week the BIS stopped working.
I phoned VodaCustCare and they told me they escalated the problem but I still do not understand why it was disconnected...
Hey all! I have phoned vodacom numerous times on this issue with no success. My blackberry service keeps on disconnecting. I have a Torch. Whenever i put data services on and off, then on again, it connects for 10 seconds and disconnects again. I have tried everything. registering, battery pull...
Hi, i hope this hasn't been answered, what is the difference between BES and BIS? I hear BES is for business consumers that need email, calender etc on the go. BIS is for the normal user. Now on BES i have downloaded files as big as 40meg onto my cell. I'd like to know can i download something...
Do BB phones that are set-up to sync with a BES server use the BES server’s internet connection for obtaining internet access i.e. our company’s broadband / ADSL router ?
