NotePager Pro and Sprint

[JB4388]

We have been using TAP with Nextel Blackberries for several years with no problem. We have just swapped the phones over to Sprint and now I am not getting any of the pages. It successfully connects, successfully sends and successfully hangs up.

I have read around that other people are having problems with Sprint. Is there any way to send pages without the Internet?

(This is our DR when the Inernet connection or email server is down)

Thanks.

The best answer I can give is maybe. It might be possible to get your messages delivered to your Sprint blackberries via TAP. The problem you'll run into is that Sprint's support of the TAP protocol is... not exactly stellar. The only terminal I know of that can get messages to any Sprint devices is 18002012501.

Unfortunately, that terminal doesn't have every Sprint device listed in its terminal, so there's every chance you'll get a "Invalid ID/PIN" argument back from the terminal.

My best recommendation would be to contact Sprint's Tech Support and ask them for additional TAP Terminal information.

I just got off a conference call with some senior Sprint engineering folks: they advised that ALL Sprint CDMA phones can now be accesses via TAP. The Sprint TAP# is 888-656-1727

My bust.
Besides the fact that the Sprint number I was using was flakey, I also had dashes in some of my phone numbers. I had to reinstall the software so everything was retyped in.

Thanks for the update.

Also the phone number is for Openwave. It looks like they are trying to become a central point for SMS by working with multiple carriers.

Again thanks for the info.
