[Asterisk-Users] Blackberry SIM card

[Alexander Lopez]

You do not need the BES server.. It is nice for total wireless
syncronization but not need for it to work. 

The BB will work in three ways:

BES server, Married with Exchange server or Lotus notes. 

Internet only, you are given an address like
myblackberry at tmo.blackberry.net, you them forward your emails to it, you
can change the way email get sent so it looks like your address in stead
of myblackberry at tmo.black.... (does not work to well with Domain Keys or
SPF)

Redirector, SW is loaded on your machine (PC) and interacts with
Outlook, all mail is sent to your mailbox in an encripted file and then
the redirector 'redirects it' out to the user via your PC. 


As far as Asterisk support goes, the only support that the BlackBerry
has for Asterisk would be the Bluetooth interface.

Other nice features that are on but not limited to the BB are:

Fax to your email as a PDF. (to read you either need a space lens from
the Hubbel Telescope, or a space Electron Microscope!)

Your VM left on asterisk include caller information so that returning
calls is as easy as select and click.


As far as a SIM card, if your unit is 'unlocked' you can put in any GSM
Sim card and activate service with whiomever you fancy, provided they
support BlackBerry.
