Hi,

BIS stands for BlackBerry Internet Service and it is a services that is designed for users who don't have their own mail server or are unable to install BES. This service gives users the ability to wirelessly send and receive emails from services such as POP, IMAP and OWA. Unlike BES users have to manually synchronize calendar, contacts etc via USB or a Bluetooth connection to their PC. If you are a BES user you also have the ability to add BIS email accounts which allows you to also access personal email on your device (The BES administrator has the ability to block this service). Here is some further information for you: BlackBerry Internet Service at BlackBerry.com

Thanks,

Gary

Hi,

You cannot manually add new service books but Live Messenger is supported on the Australia networks if you have a BlackBerry Data plan. Assuming you have a Blackberry plan go to Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table > Press menu > Select Register Now. Now resend your Service Books from either the BlackBerry Web Client or the Email Settings icon on the device.

Thanks,

Gary
