Has Anyone gotten DirectPush to work on Cingular in the US?

Well my ISP is claiming that they will not support DirectPush even though they have SP2 installed. They claim that since Cingular or any US provider has not rolled out MSFP they do not have to support it.

Because I am having the problem in that I cannot set my email for DirectPush its keeps defaulting to SMS...

I upgraded my 8125 to the new Qtek ROM and am using direct push on Cingular. It won't work with an AT&T wireless "blue" SIM because the public IP address changes often tho....

sleuth is the direct push "waking" device to tell you you have an email. If you get an email whil it is on standby I mean. also what device do u have?

nope :( I can live with it though since I don't normally have email set to alarm. Is yours an 8125? Maybe this is hardware specific.

damn.... I may have to take that back. My 8125 just buzzed me as I was typing that last post!!! Perhaps it wasn't in standby yet though (I have a 3 minute delay) I'm going in for more research on this now.

edit: Research complete. The bug is there. Must've not been in standby mode when the above message came in.

Well I confirmed it, my ISP is full of shit. I signed up for a 4smartphone account and guess what, DirectPush works just fine (on Cingular) ... no SMS just the way its supposed to. They must have something wrong on their end

We are using Cingular in the US and have direct push working. The push technology works over HTTP/HTTPS if they don't support that technology then no one would ever be able to surf the internet.

I am on ATT BLue and it works with no issues getting msgs that is via push.

i'm on cingular and push e-mail works, but 4smartphone has been quite slow recently :(

Thanks everyone... actually I just found out that Sprint released a ROM update that includes PUSH email... so hopefully my ISP will fix their problem
