In the blackberry there are many standard connection methods.
- BES/MDS
- Direct TCP
- WiFi
But in these methods some times will not work on all the careers so their is a another undocumented method that you can use.

else if(WLANInfo.getWLANState() == WLANInfo.WLAN_STATE_CONNECTED)

}

// otherwise, use the Uid to construct a valid carrier BIBS request
connectionString = ";deviceside=false;connectionUID="+carrierUid + ";ConnectionType=mds-public";
}
}
// Check for an MDS connection instead (BlackBerry Enterprise Server)
else if((CoverageInfo.getCoverageStatus() & CoverageInfo.COVERAGE_MDS) == CoverageInfo.COVERAGE_MDS)
{
connectionString = ";deviceside=false";
}
// If there is no connection available abort to avoid bugging the user unnecssarily.

throw exception;
}
// In theory, all bases are covered so this shouldn't be reachable.
