Alternative to Blackberry Internet Service (BIS)?
Just moved to Australia. Brought my blackberry and want to sign up for a data plan. I have found some great plans but they charge separately for the BIS (push email from my POP and other accounts) and data (browsing).
  1. Is there an alternative to BIS which will achieve push email (ie I don't have to browse to webmail or retrieve email) like BIS but isn't BIS?
  2. Is there a way to configure my BB8700 so that it browses via the BIS ratehr than the standard data browsing on most handsets - for some reason I though that BIS includes browsing too)?
