New update as of May 7. I'd be a mailstreet guy tomorrow if it weren't for

Anyhow, ...
There's more. I thought I had this solved on May 2, but no.....
wap.cingular ceased to work on Tuesday, May 3. I called the data
line and the guy on the other end said that the May 2 guy
did something (but he couldn't say what) at variance with the rules,
which was automatically erased overnight.
So I sat on hold for over an hour, while this guy fiddled with my features.
My options on May 3 were
$2.99 for pay per use at $.02 / kb
$4.99 for 500 kb and $02/kp for anything over that
I went with the $4.99 plan, and it showed up on my online
feature list immediately. ssh worked.
I'm fed up, and will do a hosted BES/MDS deal as soon as
I find the time to figure it all out.
I tried hard to get the guy to tell me what happend on May 2,
but he had no clue. He said that you can't put a $.01/kb plan
with a BB data plan. I'm 90% sure that's wrong, but wasn't making
progress with this guy.
On May 4, I looked at my feature list and say that the $5/month
plan was gone. I tested ssh and it worked. Installed PocketDay and
weather worked fine.
On May 5 I left for Toronto, I enabled the international unlimited
data plan, and wap.cingular died, ssh and weather didn't work, and
ssh gave me the tunneling error. Arrived back in US two hours ago,
still nothing. It may be that I get the apn with the $45 unlimeted
domestic plan, but not with the international plan.
I'll need the interational plan until I get back from Europe on the 19th. I hope I can get a hosted BES/MDS going in the next week.
