Email setting problem

Hello,

 

I just bought a Blackberry Pearl 9105, and when I was about to start the setting of my email address in the Wizard Setup it appears to me just one option to choose, the one that says "work email account with a Blackberry enterprise server", and it doesn't appear the one to add my own email address. What can I do to set and use my normal hotmail account?

 

Thank you

 

Clau

Re: Email setting problem

Hi and Welcome to the Community!

  

To use the proprietary RIM Push email capability, you must have an adequate data plan from your carrier. The carriers host BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service) for their BB users. Typically, BIS is not available via generic data plans. Many carriers call what is necessary The Blackberry Data Plan. Whatever they call it, it is the carrier who delivers BIS to their BB users -- contact them for assistance. Once you have a BIS-capable data plan on your BB (at whatever fees your carrier will charge, btw), you will then have Personal Email added to the email setup wizard.

  

Good luck!
