How to send an Email as a Text for FREE in Winnipeg

This post will go over how to send a Text for free in Winnipeg. It will also show you how to send text for free by emailing the ISP SMS gateway. If you can email you should be able to follow along.

I’d say 95% of the people I know in Winnipeg either use MTS or Rogers for their wireless provider. To send an Text for free to them using email you need to know their phone number as well as the extension.

Rogers

If you want to send a Text for Free to Rogers clients follow this formula:

phoneNumber@pcs.rogers.com. If the number was 222-3333 then you could send a text to them using the email address 222-3333@pcs.rogers.com.

http://websms.rogers.page.ca/2way/ – This is a link that you can use instead of using Email.

MTS Mobility

If you want to send a Text for Free to MTS clients follow this formula:

number@text.mtsmobility.com If the number was 222-3333 then you could send a text to them using the email address 222-3333@text.mtsmobility.com.

http://text.mtsmobility.com/ – This is a link that you can use instead of using Email.

For all other carriers you can find a very long list on Wikipedia: List of SMS Gateways.

Favorites refers to a locations that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer or on a network.

This error usually happens after a person acidentally moves the Favorites folder to another folder like Documents or Pictures. To fix this go to:

C:\users\%usesrname%\

*Replace %username% with the actualusername of the user who is having the issue.

Once you do find the folder “Favorites” right click it and select properties.

Click on the location tab. Then Click on the “Restore Default”  button.

How to change the Blackberry Maximum Security Time out Policy

There is most likely three ways you can change the Blackberry Maximum Security Timeout. The first way is on the phone. If you can not change it on the phone then there is a policy enforcing the Blackberry maximum time out.

I will first go over how to change the Blackberry Maximum Security time on Blackberry Manager:

On the Home screen click on:

  1. Global Properties
  2. IT Policy
  3. In IT Policies click the “…” box
  4. Select the policy you want to change
  5. Click Properties…
  6. Click Device-Only Items
  7. Select Maximum Security Timeout

 

Your screen should look like this:

When entering the number keep in mind you can’t just enter any number. You have to follow what Blackberry wants you to set as the Maximum Security Timeout Policy.

The numbers you can use are:

How to change the Blackberry Maximum Security Time out Policy 02

So for example 3hrs is not an option. You can however select 2hrs or 4hrs.

How to change the Blackberry Maximum Security timeout in the Administration Service

This is the replacement for Blackberry Manager. I find it is much easier to find the Blackberry Maximum Security timeout setting in this application.

To change the security timeout follow these steps:

  1. Login to the web interface
  2. Click on Policy
  3. Click “Manage IT Policies”.
  4. Click on the IT policy.

 

How to change the Blackberry Maximum Security Time out Policy 03

In the policy Click on “Edit policy

Click on Device only.

Click on the The Maximum Security Timeout text box. The valid range for the value of this rule is 10 through 480 minutes.

Change the Blackberry Maximum Security Timeout on the Blackberry phone:

Once you have changed the policy on the server or if you aren’t under policy control then you can easily change the settings on the phone:

How to change the Blackberry Maximum Security Time out Policy 06 

How to change the Blackberry Maximum Security Time out Policy 07 

 How to change the Blackberry Maximum Security Time out Policy 07

Change the Security timeout to what ever time the device will allow you to change it to.
