Does IceMAILs BlackBerry Enterprise Service support Mobile Data Services (MDS)?
The BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) provided by IceMAIL does not support MDS access? Your BlackBerry device is completely capable of browsing the Internet and using any Internet-based data services; however, MDS is not supported as it represents a computer security risk. The MDS service is essentially a “proxy” service whereby all traffic goes to the BES server and then out to the Internet. IceMAIL has instead allowed your BlackBerry device to go directly to the Internet rather than need the MDS to proxy. This actually improves performance and compatibility for many applications; however, any third-party application that still requires the MDS service may not be able to function through our service. More and more BlackBerry-based software are begin written so that they do not need the MDS service so we recommend you check with the software manufacturer to see if they have the ability to use the Internet directly on your BlackBerry (instead of using MDS).
