root certificate on your computer, and then use the certificate synchronization tool of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software to synchronize the

Depending on your wireless service provider, this feature might not be supported. For more information, contact your wireless service provider.
About using UMA with a Wi-Fi network
If your wireless service provider supports UMA (also known as GAN) and you subscribe to this service, you might be able to make calls, visit
web pages, and send and receive email messages, PIN messages, and text messages with a Wi-Fi® network. Your BlackBerry® device
automatically switches between using your mobile network and Wi-Fi networks, depending on what is available in the area where you are using
your device. For more information about UMA, contact your wireless service provider.
