No, the BPN server is a server side service that persistently recieves APNs to forward to the phone (that don't contain the message data) since unlike iPhones, Android phones can't persistently check for APNs (at least that's what I understood from the announcement article). AIUI that's what you're paying for. But that wouldn't explain why sending is broken.
- rezonant 3y agoThe How It Works article is clear that BPNs is only used to serve push to your phone when the app isn't running. Disabling it would not cause send/receive failures.
