Some might think I am asking questions that are already in the sticky posts, but I read through all of the posts and I still have some uncertainty on what is really free on BIS.
For starters I have a Blackberry 9700 with OS 5 on MTN contract with BIS included. As I understand it BIS is being used by applications when the 4 dots appear next to the 3G sign. I also made the changes under TCP/IP settings to use blackberry.net as APN as suggested.
My questions relate to the use of BIS with PodTrapper, Mobiola xPlayer and Opera Mini 5.
When I either download podcasts, stream radio or browse with opera mini, the 4 dots stay next to the 3G sign. Am I correct in assuming that as long as those dots next to the 3G sign stays there, I will not be billed additionally for data? Is there anyway that I can be billed for streaming or podcast downloads going through the blackberry APN? I have read some mixed reports on the forum that is making me unsure.
It just feels wrong when I can easily download 15-40mB podcasts and stream radio channels and it appears to be going through BIS.
So in short I would appreciate it if someone can 110% confirm that when the BIS dots are there, that all data is free and included in the BIS package.
