I read a comment on another forum about you trying to get your UMA working with Rogers on a foreign device, did you achieve any success?
I am working to get my AT&T 8820 to do the same, however my bet is that the Vendor ID is given to the rcp.na.blackberry.com server at login time and it returns the “service address”, so firewall redirects might work, but are obviously inconvenient while traveling
I will let you know if I achieve any success, unless you tell me you already have and provide instructions
No luck so far on this one. The certificates for the device are issued based on VendorID as well. I haven’t looked at the problem in a while. Maybe I’ll try and ping someone on the WiFi side when I return to RIM next month - to see if there’s a known listing of server addresses, or a way to get certificates for alternate devices. Obviously I won’t be able to give anything out that’s covered under NDA, but it’d be nice to have a definitive yes or no, even if it means some hacks with DNS.
