Cricket - push e-mail possible?

[palm disaster]

I'd like to get an 8130 and use it on the Cricket network. But I absolutely need push e-mail. I understand that Cricket does not have the BIS that is normally required for this. Are there any workarounds (such as third party software) that could work for me given that my computer is a Mac?

Thanks in advance...

No. BIS is required to have push email on a BlackBerry.

We should create a forum to fully personalize a phone. $$$

Yes there's a workaround...
I have a flashed blackberry 8130 (pearl) and I have push mail among other apps that most people say wont work on a flashed blackberry. In order to get it to work you'll need a program called Aerize wifix. Its a must have! and very reasonable ($5 bucks or something like that) I also use a program called Shangmail you can get it at en.shangmail.com it works great and my email goes straight to my BB. There are other push email programs available too but Shangmail works best for me. If you have any other questions feel free to PM me and I'll help as much as I can. There's a huge group who've made their phones work on cricket network and some awesome folks who are figuring this stuff out. I also recommend you check out howardforums.com, they have a lot of info on this topic. Everything I learned to do on my phone, I owe it to them. My phone's fully functional. I have lots of apps, push mail, MMS, SMS and web. Can't think of anything else I'm missing....


Good luck!
