The WhipCast
Brought to You by the Office of the Republican Whip
In order to install the WhipCast on your BlackBerry, please visit this link from your BlackBerry's web browser:

http://republicanwhip.house.gov/WhipCast

If you are reaching this page from within your BlackBerry, then your device is not currently supported. We are working on providing support for as many devices as possible; please sign up for alerts from the Whip Team (using the signup box to the right) to be notified when support for new devices are added.

Installation Instructions

Go to http://republicanwhip.house.gov/WhipCast in your BlackBerry's web browser and you will be prompted to download the application. Once installed, you may be asked to allow the connection or to set the WhipCast as a trusted application. In either case, click allow or yes. If you see two checkboxes, you must check both of them and click allow.

The first time you launch the application, you will be prompted to activate your account with a short form. This information must be accurate for the specific BlackBerry for the application to function properly.

While the WhipCast will work without a memory card, for the best user experience, we recommend that you install a MicroSD memory card into your BlackBerry.
