This will change over the next couple months for all users to att.blackberry.net

[Aroc]

We sort of figured that out since much of the BIS documentation references user-alias@<hidden> now. You didn't cite your source. Where did your receive this new information? Can it be verified? Thanks!

[ezrunner]

ATT customer started receiving PIN messages advising them of the pending change. I got the message on my BB and my girlfriends BB as well as internal documents

[Aroc]

Well if you are getting PIN messages and have access to internal documents (assuming these are "internal" and not publicly accessible ones, correct?) then this is probably impending like you say.

[JSanders]

I received an email from AT&T this morning that the @<hidden> address would be changing over in October/November 2007 to the new @<hidden> address.

Coming your way soon...

[LunkHead]

I wondered when they were going to do this...

[greggebhardt]

If you were a Cingular BIS customer, they will be changing your email address soon. I got a PIN at 5 am this morning:

[ezrunner]

yes we are lets just hope Lunk doesn't crap here on our tidy thread

[JSanders]

scroll up.

[ezrunner]

AAAAAAHHHHH does he have no mecy!!!

[rambo47]

As an outsider to Cingular/AT&T, the new email address is going to look a whole lot more professional, IMHO. And shorter, too!

[greggebhardt]

I like the shorter too and getting rid of "MyCingular" will not bother me a bit.

WHAT DID BOTHER ME was getting a PIN message ear, early in the AM. It scared the heck out of me when I heard the PIN notification as I thought it was one of my field supervisors telling me he was sick!

[Noekozz]

I was wondering when this was happening. Way better than the "mycingular" addy. Haven't received my message yet, but I will be on the lookout.

Got this this morning:

I have an 8800 on a BES and also activated my BIS to add yahoo accounts. I received an email from AT&T that BIS e mail account is changing from _____@<hidden> to _________@<hidden> . I just tried to send myself an e mail to the new address, and it worked. So I guess the change has already taken place. Finally! Cingular is slowly leaving us.....

[deznetwork]

I got mine at 2am, thanks for the wakeup call AT&T.

[John Clark]

:razz: Profiles >Phone only....No more 2am wakeup calls from emails.

[deznetwork]

I only wish.... [.....Phone Only......] oh that was a nice dream.
I did fix the SMS ( which is what I think the message was ). My night profile was only set around my BES emails and level 1 messages....

D

[rsnadel]

Interestingly, they have not changed the BIS url...which is still
https://bis.na.blackberry.com/html?brand=mycingular

I wonder if that will be changing eventually to https://bis.na.blackberry.com/html?brand=att

[jasonsky]

How do I send email to everyone in address book at once about new email addy? Thanks

[John Clark]

There is no feature on the BB for that.

[jeremyckitching]

How do I send email to everyone in address book at once about new email addy? Thanks

The only way to do this is to set up a group and add the e-mail addresses for your contacts in to that group. Then you can send an e-mail to that group.
