NO Unless you use BES.

That's not accurate. A few months ago Telus enabled these features. I've used IM clients with no problem on my Telus 7250...

Sorry guys but I still don't get it. What do I do wrong? I've downloaded the latest TELUS' firmware to my 7250. Which is v4.0.2.29 . but I still don't have Options->TCP settings. Browsing is fine but when it comes to use ports other than 80 I'm stuck. I'm trying to run my own Midlet which supposed to connect to a server on a certain port. It just hangs.
I also tried Idokorro's ssh client which can be set to BES/MDS or TCP/IP connection method. So I've set it to TCP/IP ssh hangs too. I can't see the request coming in on the server site. I even reconfigured (and tested) my ssh server to port 80 . But my Blackberry hangs on port 80 aswell.

Really... I've tried them all and none work? How did you do it?

cd.

Sure. But the overage charges above 25MB...ouch.
I'd rather pay for BES hosting than overage.

Have a look in the preferences... right under the option to disable mds proxy, there is an option for changing the units to metric...

cd.

...really?....I guess my blind ass didn't see that....I'll have to check that out again......thnx man

[CanuckMakem]

OK... I just downloaded Ramble again and it still won't connect. Infact I got the following error:

"Uncaught exception: Process Ramble(87) killed due to message queue overflow"

[Weasy2k]

I too have tried to get Ramble....Verichat...or any chat program for that matter to work. I tried talking to people at telus and as i figured they dont know anything about what im trying to do.

I wiped everythign clean and upgraded to the newest version and still nothing...the main reason i bought this thing was to be able to use IM...


Edit: whoa brought back from the dead...
update anyone?

[angrylogger]

It's weird but I'm a BWC user that's had success running IM (Verichat and eMSN) and such on TELUS as well. I have a 7250 that I got just before Christmas and I haven't had any problems running 3rd party software.. I haven't tried ramble because I don't use AIM.

maybe it does have something to do with user accounts... e.g. if you got your BB before a certain date, TELUS has to do something to make it work for you as stated above. This is pure speculation, but it's one of the few things I can think of that would explain it (besides maybe location.. most Ontario folks seem to be able to get this to work..). I'm not running any special OS.. just the TELUS version of 4.0.2 from the BlackBerry website.. I didn't try to load anything before I upgraded to 4.0.2.

[CanuckMakem]

All I know is that I'm close tp dumping Telus. I too wanted to use my BB for IM and not being able to on BWC is making me look at other carriers.

[Weasy2k]

Yea thas my problem, i just got it and am already looking at something else.

Maybe angrylogger is right because it does seem to be only the eastern canadians on telus get everything. Wow would i ever like to give them a ear full if thats the case. Telus started ont his side darnit :P
'
I mean it sucks, i dont know what to ask for when talking to telus tech support. The guy said if i find any instructions on this forum to let him know and he will help play around with account settings. Any ideas?

FWIW, here's my service book stuff:

BlackBerry Internet Browsing Service
VID: GPMDSNA01

(NOTE: same info as above)

The entry 206.51.26.162:17761:17760 is all over my host routing table. I can't think of anything else in the settings on my end that would matter, but if anyone else can, I'm happy to share.


Further speculation: doesn't TELUS roam off of Bell & its family in Eastern Canada (and vice-versa in Western Canada)? Could this have something to do with it? It does seem silly that TELUS users would get a different package of fundamental services depending on where they are in Canada unless it has something to do with roaming on Bell. Do Bell users out west experience diminished service on their plans? I honestly have no clue as to a cause here.. I'm not really a technical person...

[Weasy2k]

Same settings on my end too

Hello
Did you have a chance to solve this problem. I have the same one with a 8707v and i am located in Spain. May be your solution, if any, could work for me....

Time to switch to Rogers, friends. They are the only carrier with tcp/ip on a blackberry in Canada..

Rogers has some definate advantages over Bell and Telus in Canada, however they also have some seriously lacking business practices. I for one don't like feeling ripped off or mistreated. I'd probably switch if ole Ted could start treating his customers like human beings instead of wallets with feet. This is one of the few areas where I envy the American side of my family, so much choice and the benefits of competition.

Note: One other advantage for Canadian CDMA users in populated centers is EV-DO for Blackberry which Robbers Wireless does not have an equivalent.

I agree.. i'm with you.. i'm not a Rogers fan..but no tcp/ip? no international roaming? what's the point? Rogers bought the market when they bought fido. There is *almost* no competition for any company that has users that travel internationally. For anyone that needs or wants tcp/ip in Canada, again, no competition.

So, my hand is forced. I think many others are too. Until Bell (or Telus) can release tcp/ip for their devices, half my hands are tied to that, and the other half are simply in the view that Rogers has a near monopoly (GSM)

Oh also, Rogers gets new devices first. Bell's a full year behind.. telus..??? hunh? right.. telus who?

Choose accordingly... if you don't travel internationally, send the odd e-mail here and there, and don't care about installing any apps on your BB, then go with telus or bell. But you are otherwise forced with no choice to go with Rogers (Robbers) wireless otherwise.

People with a personal vendetta against Rogers (this is many people) are forced to lower their standards. Poor people.

^^ Telus and Bell offer SIM cards for international travelers--as well as "dual mode GSM/CDMA" phones.
