Microsoft® Direct Push Wireless Email Print this page
Cingular announces the availability of the Microsoft Direct Push email service and new Direct Push rate plans for enterprise customers.
Direct Push Has Arrived!
Microsoft Direct Push from Cingular is a scalable and cost-effective wireless email solution that enables mobile professionals to easily stay connected to their Microsoft® Outlook® and Office® information while on the go. Cingular's Direct Push service is designed specifically for companies with Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 interested in deploying wireless email on the Cingular Windows Mobile 5 portfolio.
Optimizing Productivity with Microsoft Outlook Mobile
Microsoft Direct Push sends email, calendar, contacts and tasks directly to a mobile professional's Pocket PC or SmartPhone as soon as items arrive/change on the server, ensuring users are always in the know. Mobile Professionals can respond to email and manage documents efficiently with the same familiarity as their desktop experience. Direct Push is available on the popular Cingular 8125 Pocket PC.
Innovative Direct Push Architecture
Direct Push is not just great for mobile professionals, it's great for IT. Direct Push operates without 3rd party middleware, client access licenses (CALs) or new device software. For companies already running Exchange Service 2003 Service Pack 2, the solution may required little or no changes to the IT infrastructure, resulting is simplified management, lower up front investment and the opportunity for a rapid return on investment. The service includes a number of security features including remote policy enforcement, remote device wipe and password enforcement to protect sensitive corporate data.
The Cingular Advantage
Cingular takes the complexity and risk out of deploying Direct Push by providing pre-purchase consultation, a portfolio of Direct Push enabled devices, service-specific rate plans and the specialized technical support business customers have come to expect from the market leader for corporate wireless email.
Cingular Provides a Fast, Extensive Network
With Direct Push and the Cingular ALLOVER™ network, employees can be connected and productive in more places with the largest digital voice and data network in America. They can travel internationally and still get their email with Cingular's data roaming agreements in more than 85 countries worldwide and voice roaming in more than 165 countries. The ALLOVER network is the largest digital voice and data network in America covering over 273 million people.
Are You Ready for Direct Push?
The Direct Push technology is incorporated into Service Pack 2 for Exchange Server 2003 and a firmware update to the Windows Mobile 5.0 devices called the Messaging and Security Feature Pack (MSFP). With these updates in place, customers are ready to provision Windows Mobile 5.0 devices with Cingular's Direct Push rates plans and go.
Existing Cingular 8125 customers can download the required firmware update by following the link:

Cewl beans!!!!!

Seems like it is corrupt. Only 39 megs and gives you an error when you run it.

who wants Exchange 2007 hosting?

If you are interested in using Exchange 2007 for your mobile device, I have one available. It is for my consulting business and I am only using 1 of the 100 CAL's that are installed. For a small donation, I will let honest people use it. I would require the following info.
First Name:
Last Name or Initial:
E-Mail address requested: [email protected]
Alias: [email protected]
Password: (must contain letters, numbers and special characters)
The server itself is in a datacenter with reduntant power and network.
It has a UCC cert and autodiscover services are working perfect.
Since I use it for my business the uptime will be in at least the 4 nines.
Just send me a PM if interested.

While this sounds great, there are some concerns that I would have as outlined below. None of this is personal btw.
a.) Backups, how would this be handled
b.) Security, how do I know as an admin your not attaching to mailboxes or journaling them and reading through private information?
c.) Anti Virus, how is the server protected to keep my data safe
d.) Anti Spam, this is easy since you can implement the built in Anti Spam services on a Hub Transport server. However how would an end user control this?
e.) SSL Certificate is cheap through Go Daddy, you could offset this cost with your user donations. That way there is no need to import an self signed cert.
f.) Up time, where is the server located? in a Data Center or your garage?
g.) domains, would you support users as [email protected] or would you allow users to point their MX records at your IP while adding smtp aliases to the AD user accounts?
I'm sure there are others, and again this is in no way a personal attack as I think offering this for little cost is a very nice thing to offer. It however could wind up being a hand full if enough users decide to accept.

I am thinking about opening up my exchange 2007 server to users here that would be interested in the service. after trying places like mail2web and other types of hosting services, i realized i could do the same thing for myself and have total control. trouble is, now i have this massive server to sync my device all by itself...
if anyone would be insterested in syncing with an exchange 2007 server, let me know. I wanted to get some initial feedback from users to see if it was even worth it.
I was thinking of a donation type system to offset the licensing cost...(which i get for dirt cheap since I can piggy back off one of major customers...it is about $16 per user...)
i could offer active sync, rpc over http and owa...
i do not want to buy a third party cert, so my microsoft issued cert would need to be installed on your device (it means you have to double click on a .cer file)
i did not configure autodiscovery services, so rpc over http would need to be configured manually. (very simple)
i could also offer outlook 2007 for a very small fee (since i did not configure rpc over http for outlook 2003 use)
just send me an email and tell me if you are interested. I am thinking if I get enough people, i will open it up for the great people here at xda forums..

all very good questions and i will answer them as best as possible.
a.) the backups are handled at the disk layer, they are mirrored. If corruption would occur, the server would get rebuilt. as a very cheap service offering, you get what you pay for. That said, since i personally use this server and my customers contact me via it, if it goes down, i may not get paid. therefore, its availbilty is very important.
b.) you don't, but i won't
c.) trend micro does it on the server, your desktop client would do the rest.
d.) the exchange server spam level is set to level 5. I have never had a false postitive
e.) there is a UCC cert.
f.) datacenter. also, see answer a. uptime = pay to me.
g.) i would allow default from address to be what ever you wanted. i will not host your personal domain. That is another type of service i am not offering.

i have now installed a UCC cert and autodiscovery is working perfectly.
anyone insterested just send me the following info;
First Name:
Last Name or Initial:
E-Mail address requested: [email protected]
Alias: [email protected]
Password: (must contain letters, numbers and special characters)
I only ask for a small donation. anything helps. thanks.

You could also try www.nuevasync.com with Google Calendar / Contacts, and use IMAP for email. It's isn't push, but works pretty well nonetheless. Plus, you don't have to administer it yourself.

VOIP in android

i tried to use chit chat the application was good and the voice was clear. but i found that its pre configured with a specific service called "weepee", i went to their website its in non english language. aslo i found a directory called chit chat in my sdcard contains a file called "profile" i edited this file to my asterisk server username and password using sip protocol it didnt work then i tried AIX protocol it works. so guys you can use AIX through this program just go and edit /sdcard/chit chat/profile put the server, username and password and here we go.

i really need voip, thanks for info
can you tell more about your discovery? (for noobs) i couldnt find any application called chit chat
i currently use google voice for int'l calls, any way to call for even cheaper?

Best VoIP client for Android is a little app called sipdroid. Get it from the dev's website as the one in the market does not allow calls in 3G or edge. It was one of the first apps i got and i've never paid for a call again. You have to create an account with Pbxes and configure there (read their tutorial) but once is set up is the most incredible app ever! like i said, haven't paid for a call in months!

hey, thanks for an answer
afaik sipdroid and pbxes isnt enough to place an int'l PSTN call, you have to have a sip provider e.g. Gizmo5, but gizmo's rates are higher than on GV, so not interesting
any other reliable sip provider? i tried voipuser but they want a non-free email address - what is that i have no idea. im not giving them my work email

I use Guava, pretty cool with googlevoice and a gizmo accounts work good. Sometimes there is a problem but most of the time it works.
Guava isnt on the market but can be downloaded at http://gizmo5.com/guava and trandferred to the sdcard.

@hihik as StreetGuru said Sipdroid is optimized to work with pcxes as I imagine same people took the lead in writing sipdroid.
Dont worry about giving them your email as they dont or very rarely send anything out. Why work email? How about your ISP email?
Anyway has anybody tried Crolix Communicator from market. It supposed to work with GTalk for voip calling gmail contacts.
I am waiting for Nimbuzz to inpliment voip but I assume they are having difficuly in codecs department.
Well, Google hasnt given us voice call feature in Google Talk application, I wonder why!

I have never understood why people have such a hard time coming up with email addresses. Get a dyndns address, register it to your public IP address, and put an email server on your home computer. Done. Unlimited email addresses with unlimited (aside from your hard disk space) storage.

Here is the configuration with sipdroid www.ippi.fr for opening an account (free with geographic number in 01.02.03.04 ou05 depending on where you live) test on android magic 32b and it works as well as in 3G wireless, to test my SIP number is 05 81 31 42 75, and my laptop that sounds (ca surprises people! ") think of you for sponsoring the opening of the account by putting in the box Rouhaud parrainnage. thank you in advance Here are the parameters to put in sipdroid Download link: http://sipdroid.org/ Go to the Android Market and are looking Sipdroid. Install accepting the warning. Sipdroid Start / Menu / Settings SIP Account Settings: Username: Password IPPI username: password IPPI Server: ippi.fr Port: 5060 Options: Use WLAN: Use 3G/EDGE check: check if your operator authorizes and s 'report thereon Preferred Call Type: SIP when available Advanced Options: - PBXes Features: - A green icon in the top bar will inform you that Sipdroid is connected to the network IPPI.

Sipdroid not working for Pennytel
I follow similarly for pennytel account (sip.pennytel.com)
I got the green icon but when I tried to call to the pennytel account, it says the user is not available.
It is a working account when used with Nokia E71 SIP setting.
Not sure what breaks.

Check out post #77 here! They might be bringing out Fring for Android this year

@priyana,
Sipdroid is developped by PBXES.org and is fully optimized to work with pbxes. So creat a free account there and configure pennytel account within pbxes. You can have upto five sip registration with a free account.

There might be a beta of Fring for Android in a few weeks! Check out post #77 here:

Can you work me through how to set it up?
I already created accounts in PXBes and PennyTel, but doesn't work..

I have exactly the same problem as yours. PennyTel works on my wife's E71, but not on my HTC Magic.
I would really appreciate any helps.

For step by step using pbxes.org, maybe you can follow this page:
http://seethisnowreadthis.com/2009/...-with-any-sip-provider-on-your-android-phone/
I think it should work with pennytel, but I have not tried.
Not too comfy putting my user credentials in pbxes.org.
What do you guys think? Is it really 100% safe?

100% safe? I should think so. But this question is not appropriate here as there may be just a handful sip users here. You should visit forums of voxalot , sipuser etc where you will meet nearly 100% sip/voip users.
PBXes is good and running like any other business?
If you are a free user than questions like are they trustworty or not seem hyprocritical. Buy their paid service ans see how good they are when it comes to receiving help and support.

Finally I figured it out how to call out through PBXes from my HTC Magic.
Thank you.

better email program??

I switched to this phone (HTC Hero) from the Palm Pre and while the Pre had its issues it had some pluses over this phone. One being the email program. I know yahoo sux and all but this is my primary email for business and for some reason this phone constantly gives a login error when trying to get mail from it. WHY?? Also there is no push email? And is there or will there be swipe delete available, ever? I am new here and searched for emails before making this thread and nothing related came back. Thanks for any info

The "Google Mail" program (the one with the red and white envelope as an icon) does IMAP-IDLE/Push Mail. The HTC "Mail" program (the one with the mailbox as an icon) does not.
K-9 or k9mail also does Push mail (IMAP-IDLE). You can find it in the market or at http://code.google.com/p/k9mail/ . It also shows the error messages if something goes wrong, so you have a chance to correct your settings.

thanks, I appreciate the help. I don't see the option for push email in the google envelope, but I will try the other

Google doesn't call it push, its in settings>data synchronization>google>auto sync
I've tried for the last week to get the HTC mail apps to get mail pushed but resigned myself to just using the gmail app, which works great for push mail.

Google Mail seems to be most reliable for quick mail delivery, if you're stuck with a Yahoo account for business reasons you can set Yahoo Mail to auto-forward to Google Mail and then your Hero can download it from there. You can even set your reply-to address to Yahoo so it's transparent to the person emailing you.

that, or open a gmail account and have it pull stuff from yahoo, bypass yahoo all together and have either gmail activesync or htc mail checking in intervals

He shouldn't have to do this. The phone should come with a good built in mail client... The iPhone has a good mail client that can use Push GMAIL, Mobile Me etc... as well as Exchange support and iMap and Pop3 support... If HTC is going to ship phones with their own software on a device that goes outside of what is provided through the OS and Google then they should ensure the quality of that software.

What's wrong with K9 mail? Half the reason for having such an open platform is so that developers can create their own apps and so that there is a variety of choices for end users.
People keep comparing Android phones to the iPhone without understanding that they're VERY different platforms. One is highly customizable and extensible (Android) and the other is locked down to being the same worldwide (iPhone.)

Extensibility should never come at the price of reliability and quality. BTW there are other email Apps made for the iPhone that work very well. I was just pointing out that if you're going to bundle your software and sell your product at a premium it should be good software and not works some times under certain conditions and when the stars align just right. They are different platforms yes, but quality is quality regardless of open or closed (or perceived closed... you still have to root your phone to do a a alot of this customization you speak of which is no different than jailbreaking an iPhone if you want to be objective about it). You shouldn't have to rely on third party developers to make an app because your built in app isn't exceptional quality. If you package it with your product you should be stamping and standing by the quality of your product. Developers should add new features and apps that do things better than your existing app sure, but not because your software isn't up to snuff but because your product has already set a high standard and the developers can work hard to hit or even exceed that standard. If you have to cut some features to ensure that the features that are there are done REALLY REALLY well then so be it. Quality over quantity any day. This isn't a rail on Android as an OS as much as it is a rail on HTC for charging a premium for their phones because they package their own software with the phone that 'kinda works'. Why charge that premium and add your software to an already good phone OS if you're not going to make sure it works perfectly with industry standard features out of the box.

[HELP] Create a Task That Requests a Payment Via Google Pay

Hi all! I'm new to Tasker, and I'm hoping to use it to initiate a payment request through Google Pay, hopefully using the Android Messages app.
Here's my situation: I have auto-pay set up for Netflix, and since I'll often forget to collect the portion of the bill that is supposed to be covered by the other users of my account, I want to create a task that will operate on these rules: If I receive a Netflix auto-pay notification, then send a Google Pay request to the other users of my Netflix account. The "if" side of the equation is easy, it's the "then" side that I'm having a hard time figuring out. I know Tasker can send SMS messages, so I'm hoping there's a way to let Tasker use the Google Pay features built into Android Messages.
Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you!

While a Google Pay request is preferred, I would also be happy with making a Venmo request. I know PayPal has a REST API, but using it in a live environment requires a Premium or Business account.
