BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS)

BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) for Email

BlackBerry Internet Service is complimentary with the activation of a BlackBerry service plan and provides customers with the ability to have their personal or work email pushed automatically to their BlackBerry device from multiple Internet Service Provider (ISP) email accounts. BIS can provide automatic wireless synchronization of read, deleted, and sent items from the user's BlackBerry device to their supported ISP email account. Users with multiple accounts can choose from multiple "sent from" addresses when sending an email. Customers can also download ringtones and other content or browse the Web using the BlackBerry HTML Browser.
