Blackberry Information

UTSA maintains a Blackberry server to allow users with the device to connect to their UTSA Exchange accounts remotely.  UTSA has recently upgraded the server to the latest version.  If you are having trouble reconnecting, information on reconnecting can be found here.

If you have a Blackberry (obtained through Purchasing), you will need to contact the OIT Business Manager with an account number for the setup fee.  The one-time setup fee of $75 goes towards the license of the Blackberry and the technician time to configure your Blackberry for use.
