The BlackBerry Enterprise Solution provides a complete wireless connectivity platform for mobile professionals. It provides wireless access to email, enterprise data, phone, organiser applications and the Internet. This is a fully integrated enterprise solution including innovative server software, advanced wireless devices, wireless network service and essential support programs and services.
How does it work?
BlackBerry Enterprise Solution comprises three key components.
- BlackBerry branded or BlackBerry Connect handheld
BlackBerry branded handhelds are integrated devices with wireless email and PDA functionality and the freedom of a mobile phone with Vodafone. Vodafone themed user-friendly menu and the thumb operated track wheel (or track ball) which works like a mouse, make the handheld easy to operate.
BlackBerry Connect handhelds are mobile phones from other manufacturers such as Nokia, Sony Ericsson, or Palm.
- The BlackBerry Enterprise Server + Desktop Software
The BlackBerry Enterprise Server software can be installed alongside Microsoft® Exchange, Lotus Domino™ or Novell® Groupwise® mail platforms for secure email access, and simplified management and centralised control for IT departments. A Crazy John's Account Executive can advise you on the software you need.
There are 2 types of BlackBerry Enterprise Solutions:
- Small Business Edition BlackBerry Enterprise Server for up to 15 users.
- BlackBerry Enterprise Server for 16+ users.
- A Mobile Email Bundle
Handhelds
Which handheld is right for you?
The BlackBerry Enterprise Solution is available through two different types of handheld.
BlackBerry from Vodafone
There are a number of BlackBerry handhelds available from Crazy John's, combining mobile email, phone and personal organiser in one handheld that's small enough to fit into your pocket. Each handheld has Vodafone's unique icon-based menu that makes it easy to navigate.
Contact Us to find out what handhelds are available.
BlackBerry Connect
BlackBerry Connect allows you to add mobile email functionality to compatible handhelds. This is ideal if you prefer the functionality and menu structure of a different device from manufacturers such as Nokia and Sony Ericsson, and want to add mobile email.

Pricing
To get the BlackBerry Enterprise Solution up and running, you need a Mobile Email Bundle. They're designed to work with your BlackBerry mobile email service as a cost-effective way to stay in the loop. To choose your bundle, simply estimate approximately how many emails you'll receive or send from your handheld each month. If your usage varies month to month, you can change between bundles as you need.

Want to make calls?
Your mobile email handheld can also be used to make calls. If you plan to make the handheld your primary mobile phone device, you can enjoy great voice rates with one of our voice plans and integrate it with your Mobile Email Bundle.
With BlackBerry, you can select any Vodafone voice plan. Business customers can choose from Vodafone’s Business Voice Plans and simply add a BlackBerry Mobile Email Bundle.
Non-business customers can choose from voice plans such as the $79 Super Cap or the $149 Mega Cap (not available on Prepay).
If you're likely to only make the occasional call, you'll simply be charged at the following standard rates:
- Calls: 1c per second plus 20c flagfall
- TXT: 25c per SMS message
- International Data Roaming: 1c per KB (minimum 10KB session)
