Can this be why the test BB phone the company gave me to setup for BESx access can not send emails? I have been fighting this issue for a couple of weeks. During with I lost the ability to login to Blackberry Administration Service. ________________________________ From: exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Howard Rappaport Sent: Fri 4/16/2010 4:49 PM To: exchangelist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ExchangeList] Re: BESX: Activation Issues Yes, absolutely. Most carriers offer 2 different BlackBerry service levels. One level includes access to BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) (connected to gmail, yahoo, pop3, imap4), and a second level of service includes BIS + BES. A device improperly provisioned with a BIS data won't be able to complete a wireless Enterprise Activation. BESX was supposed to allow functionality with only the BIS data plan, but Verizon decided they didn't want to play nice and force people to have the Enterprise data plan - http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2010/03/13/verizon-wireless-to-require-enterprise-level-data-plan-for-besx-access/. Typically the Enterprise plan costs $10 more a month (at least in the US) From: exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Todd Lemmiksoo Sent: Friday, April 16, 2010 4:39 PM To: exchangelist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ExchangeList] Re: BESX: Activation Issues What do you mean "proper data plan"? Can a company purchase an improper data plan for the BB's it buys. ________________________________ From: exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Howard Rappaport Sent: Fri 4/16/2010 4:25 PM To: exchangelist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ExchangeList] Re: BESX: Activation Issues Activating while tethered really should be a last resort (I only use it when bulk activating and shipping to people with their own SIM, or in an area without proper coverage). A successful wireless enterprise activation confirms that the device is properly functioning, mailbox access is properly configured, and provisioned on the carriers network properly. If you tether and activate you can activate even without a proper data plan which will only lead to trouble after you hand the device to the end user 30 seconds later.

Better to have the device connected to your PC.

I managed to clean up the mess and reinstalled BESX from scratch. However, I am running into the below technical issue. During enterprise activation, BlackBerry wireless device displays the following error: An error has occurred. Please contact your system administrator. Activate the device contains an incorrect activation password...yet this is correct. I checked with the carrier as well that indeed BES data plan is activate. Any pointers on how I can speedily resolve this? Thanks G.
