Recently RIM made the bold (excuse the pun) move to effectively release a free version of the BlackBerry Enterprise Software for free – called BES Express.

This version allows small to medium sized enterprises to take advantage of the world’s leading mobile email solution provider.

So whats the difference between BES and BES Express?

Effectively BES express lacks some of the key features for managing large fleets such as high availability, shared databases and it has less IT policies than the full version

For a comparison see this comparsion chart from RIM

Where do I get BES Express?

You can download the software from the RIM website

Phonenomena can assist you with a managed installation or BlackBerry User Training or Administrator Training

What else do I need to run BES Express?

You need a BlackBerry plan enables on your mobile number and a BlackBerry device.  So contact Phonenomena today to get the latest BlackBerry handset and have your mobile number enabled for BlackBerry!

Heading Overseas with an iPhone or BlackBerry?

Make sure you don’t come home to a nasty mobile bill with our guide to minimising your International Roaming Data costs

Telstra have recently released new data packs to save you money when using data overseas. By default Telstra’s rates for data roaming is currently $15 per MB. Think about how much a few large attachments could cost! The new Roaming Data Packs below to make this a lot cheaper with $29 for 10MB and $160 for 60MB (see below).

Call Phonenomena today on 1300 721 281 to activate a data roaming pack on your Telstra service

iPhone Tips

• Add a Roaming Data pack
• Reset your data usage meter just before you leave and monitor your usage: Settings>General>Usage (Cellular Network Data – Reset Statistics)
  
• Turn off data roaming to avoid multiple session fees initiated by emails being checked automatically.  Only turn data roaming on occasionally when you really need emails. Go to: Settings>General>Network>Data Roaming – Off
• Use WiFi – not the mobile networks.  Find free WiFi hotspots to check your email etc. Setting>General>Network>WiFi- On
• Avoid using applications (eg maps, video) that use a lot of data
• Avoid updating or downloading new applications (as these are larger file downloads)

BlackBerry Tips

Your capped BlackBerry data plan does not apply when overseas however BlackBerry has the added luxury of compressing emails and attachments better than other devices – but this doesn’t mean you can’t get large bills

• Use WiFi where possible (Manage Connection – Tick WiFi)
• Add a Roaming Data pack (see below)
• Avoid data heavy applications (maps)
  

Laptop Tips

Mobile Broadband devices (USB modems etc) will use the most data as it is harder to control how much data your laptop uses (automatic updates, viruses etc)

• Use WiFi hotspots!
• Never use a mobile network without at least adding a Roaming Data pack. Even then, think twice about how important it is!
• Avoid streaming media, software updates, Skype etc that use lots of data!
• Never leave your connection on and unattended to avoid automatic updates etc
• Use a BlackBerry or iPhone instead
