MTC customers in Namibia will now be able to enjoy the freedom and productivity benefits of using BlackBerry® smartphones to stay connected to people and information while on the go. “We have expanded our smartphone line-up with a wide range of BlackBerry smartphones because Namibians want to be able to connect to the Internet and engage in the global ‘iVillage’ at any time and from anywhere.

  • Hearing Aid Compatibility with Blackberry Smartphones
    Hearing Aid Compatibility with BlackBerry Smartphones About hearing aid compatibility Several BlackBerry smartphones have received certification from the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) stating that the smartphones meet the hearing aid compatibility requirements. BlackBerry smartphones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference with hearing devices than wireless devices that are not rated. M4 is the higher of the two ratings. BlackBerry smartphones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more compatible with a hearing device's telecoil (T-coil, T Switch, or Telephone Switch) than wireless devices that are not rated. T4 is the higher of the two ratings. Not all hearing devices have telecoils in them. Results might vary depending on the hearing device and the degree of hearing loss. If your hearing device is vulnerable to interference, you might not be able to use a rated wireless device successfully. The best way to evaluate compatibility of your hearing device and a rated wireless device is to test the devices together and consult with your hearing health professional. For more information about hearing aid compatibility, see the Description of Hearing Aid Compliance Ratings booklet at http://www.blackberry.com/accessibility. Hearing aid compatibility ratings The following table lists BlackBerry smartphones rated for hearing aid compatibility and their respective M and T ratings. Note: M and T compatibility ratings apply only to cellular bands. Smartphone Wi-Fi
