Unhappy Internet access through carrier instead of BES

I'm trying to get my users to use their carrier's internet service vs. having all internet traffic funneled through the BES. The reason being that most of the phones we have on our BES are personal phones, not company property. We don't want to block any websites on their devices. But our firewall does have content filtering enabled for desktops.

Is there any easy way to configure this?

Manually change default browser on each phone

Hide / disable specific browser ... this way you can prevent the use of the BlackBerry Browser.

You can change which Browser can be used via an IT Policy.

devans, I think Si was stating that he already does this in his environment.
While welcome, I don't think he was looking for a tutorial.

Hmm, when I read that yesterday I could have sworn it said 'Exactly how would I do it for my users'.
I thought it odd at the time that one of the Proprietors would be asking such a question.

Oh well, the info will be useful for others.
