BlackBerry Newsletter

 

Dear {FIRST_NAME}

January  2009

HAPPY NEW YEAR!                                                              

Hope everyone had a great holiday season and best wishes for the New Year!

This year Swirl Solutions is focusing on saving you money and perhaps making you some.  We are now offering a referral program and you can earn a commission on any workshop that your referral completes. Also, don't forget to let your BlackBerry friends know about our free newsletter.  They can sign up on any Swirl Solutions website page.

In these times of economic uncertainty it sure would be great to keep your monthly phone bill to a minimum.  We can help your organization save up to 30% on roaming data charges through our advanced workshops.  

Please contact us for more details.

TIPS AND TRICKS                                 

Addendum to Decembers Newsletter tip on roaming changes is in red below.

For example, if you live in Vancouver and are going to shop in Seattle, do you want to pay for emails coming into your BlackBerry during that time?  If not, you can tell your BlackBerry not to roam.

  1. Home Screen
  2. Wrench (Options) / Settings (Options)
  3. Network or Mobile Network
  4. Network Selection Mode
  5. Change from Automatic to Home Only
    • Home only will turn off VOICE and DATA when roaming so your incoming calls will go directly to Voice mail.

Want to turn off Data only?

  1. Still under  Mobile Network
  2. Data Services
    • Off When Roaming

What is the difference between standby and sleep mode?

Standby Mode

What does this do?
  • locks your keyboard
  • Stops pocket and purse dialing
  • Calls will still come in
  • Everything else will still be on and work
How to put in Standby mode?
  • Click the Mute button (on most models) 

Sleep Mode

What does this do?

  • there is a magnet on the holster and in your blackberry and when you put it in your holster it activates the sleep mode via the magnet
  • saves your battery by dimming the screen
  • this is the setting in profiles when it says "In holster", it is in sleep mode

How to put in Sleep Mode?

  • Put it in a BlackBerry authorized holster 

Just so everyone is clear, neither of these options turns OFF your wireless.  If you are travelling and do not want to pay roaming charges, one of the easiet way is to just turn your wireless off or take a Swirl Solutions workshop to find out more ways.
