Wireless PDA

Almost any wireless PDA(iPhone is only supported with web-access through the Safari browser)can be integrated with your GroupWise account. E-mail, calendar, tasks and addressbooks can all be synced to your device wirelessly and seamlessly. Faculty members may contact Ed Heiger or Patrick Byerly or enter a Helpstar to get their device setup. Staff members must request permission from their respective administrator and should be prepared to provide a business justification.

Please keep in mind however, if using this service with a cell phone or wireless PDA that your cellular carrier may asses certain charges. In particular, please be sure that you have an appropriate wireless data plan and text messaging plan from your cellular carrier. Wireless synchronization of email, calendar, and address book items for most users will use several MB of data per month. To avoid overage charges, we recommend subscribing to an unlimited data plan from your wireless carrier. In addition, if using the SMS-based "push" email feature, be aware that each "push" effectively sends a text message to your phone, and your carrier's normal text messaging rates apply. If you plan to make use of the "push" or text messaging features, you may wish to investigate an unlimited text messaging plan from your wireless carrier.

BE ADVISED! The Department of Medicine is not responsible for any cellular charges you may incur using these services. Ensuring that you have an appropriate wireless plan for the use of these services is solely your responsibility.
