How to check the type of network connection in Blackberry?

In the Blackberry application, I want to check what type of network connection is used on a particular phone, be it BES / MDS, BIS-B or Direct Tcp. Is there any way to find out?

Many applications, such as Jive, Opera, and many others, perform such a check.

Please, help.

Your question comes from the wrong assumption. Blackberry can transmit on all or all channels at the same time. Virtually any application can as well. At any given point in time, you can determine if there is enough coverage for one of these channels, or register a listener to notify you of a state change using net.rim.device.api.system.CoverageInfo.

The question is quite logical, and I agree with Richard. Although the best answer is that logic can be developed that will include parsing the Service Book and using system listeners to check the current coverage status.

I tried to make one such logic once in my project, which worked for me. I shared my findings and understanding of the concept in more detail on my blog. You might want to check once.
