T-Mobile Opens Blocked Blackberry Ports
Last December T-Mobile Blackberry users on a WAP connection may have noticed that their 3rd party programs stopped communicating with the internet. Things like their favourite Instant Messenger program stopped working because T-Mobile blocked any applications other than e-mail and the Blackberry Browser to stop working. They have finally fixed the issue and users should now be able to surf as normal. The issue was first caused by a billing issue, took them awhile but we are glad to have it resolved.
We have now confirmed this by using Idokorro’s Mobile SSH program to telnet into our hosting server.

UPDATE!!!
Applications that I needed BES to work now work with OS 4 and TMO opening ports. Microsky did not work on 3.7 but now I am able to connect to the server and download astronomy data.
I will try other applications and other like me should do the same. Report back what works not, like chat (blackchat), telnet, etc.
