Mobile Devices

With a variety of supported mobile devices, you will be able to wirelessly sync your Law School Exchange e-mail, calendar, contacts, and tasks. 

For devices with mobile plans (mainly smartphones), be sure to have an appropriate data plan or you may incur large cell bills by exceeding your data plan. We strongly encourage an unlimited data plan.

For Apple iOS devices (iPhones and iPads), you should protect your credit card info in case you lose your device. Click here to learn how.

Helpdesk needs to configure BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) on your BlackBerry for you.  In order to synchronize your calendar and contact lists and 'push' your emails out faster to you, you need to first verify that you have the necessary level of service with your carrier.  Contact Helpdesk to arrange an appointment for installation.  Please plan accordingly as installation can take up to a few hours.
