Blackberry Devices

The Blackberry World Edition, Blackberry Curve model 8330 (Verizon version) and the latest Blackberry "Storm" do not have built-in Wi-Fi access. Internet services are only available for these if you have a data plan for your Blackberry device.

Non-NIU Wi-Fi handheld devices and Wi-Fi Smart phones are not guaranteed to work on the NIU Wireless/VPN. These devices are considered "best effort" by ITS.

For additional information contact the ITS Helpdesk.
