Guess I will have to live with BIS

I’ll be checking my bills closely to see if they’ve tried to pull a fast one, but hopefully the 6GB with corporate access in place properly.

Just thought I’d share that with others who were looking to take advantage of BES and were being told ‘no.’

Good eyes. Here’s the deal. If you sign up for the 6GB as a regular consumer, you CAN in fact have that account changed to a corporate account (pretty much any informed employee at a Rogers store will tell you that), it just requires a bit of effort.

However, no corporate Rogers rep will tell you that you can do this, and will even fight you to the bone if you try to get it done.

Trust us, we have experience with this. =D

” – Data Service Plans deliver e-mail plus corporate calendar and contacts to your wireless device” is listed as part of the plan benefits.

Email aside, and correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this a function of BES (Wireless corporate calendars and contacts)?

Wouldn’t it be considered false advertising if on this plan you don’t get the ability to have your “corporate” calendars and contacts “delivered wirelessly” to your device?

Seems like arguing semantics, but its confusing to people who sign up with the 6GB plan with these features listed, only to be told that they cannot actually have their corporate calendars and contact delivered wirelessly. The plan also does not “give you full functionality of your device at an affordable price” (that’s another feature in the list that isn’t truly delivered).

It also doesn’t mention BES anywhere on the page, or clarify what BIS actually is.

What do you guys think?

The answer I received was that BIS users access the Internet directly. With BES, access to the Internet goes through your BES server. The Blackberry client connects to BES and the BES retrieves the page from the Internet. reformats it for the Blackberry, and sends it back to to the client at up to 6x compression. Therefore BIS users will use significantly more data than their BES counterparts doing exactly the same things.

Comparing regular Rogers rates, at 6x compression a 1GB BES plan is roughly equivalent to a 6GB BIS plan and both cost $100/m

I think you might want to check the fine print again. If you’re a Rogers customer, it’s more likely that you have the 7MB for $40 plan, rather than 7GB.

Some people in our office have that plan, and boy do they not like it!
