Blackberry failing to setup enterprise email...

I have a 9300 Blackberry. I have setup my hotmail emails and this is working properly. I am trying to add my work email and contacts/calendar via my company's enterprise server and it keeps on failing all the time!

 

Under the email setup menu, I select the Enterprise activation, put my work email address and the password they gave me and i keep on getting the following error: 'The Blackberry Enterprise Server has not responded to your activation request. An error may have occured'. Now my company is based in the UK so I don't know if this makes any difference. The password is only valid for 48 hours. I have tried to set this up while I was roaming in the UK and Ireland the last 2 weeks and now here back in Ottawa and I just keep on getting the same error!

 

I've called the Fido support desk and they said that I have to call Blackberry for support for dual provision but when I call Blackberry they ask for a ticket number or a carrier number else I can't talk to them!!

 

Can someone from Fido help me with that request to setup both my work emails and my private emails on that Fido BB???  This is very frustrating!!

Hey jmayer,

 

Paolo is correct, we only offer BIS (BlackBerry internet services) and not BES (BlackBerry Enterprise Server).

 

BlackBerry offers a workaround that is 100% supported by them. It is BES Express. Check it out here.

 

Hopefully this helps!

as far as i know, fido only offers BIS. not BES. but there is a way to get it to work, i think its different, I think the way they are doing it for you is if you had a BES plan. So look into that. I will also look into it and post an update
