Getting a connection timed out error in Beams Mobile? The three things to check would be your router to make sure no port forwarding or other settings have changed, the internet connection on your mobile device and the server where Beams is installed. If the service is stopped on the server where Beams is installed, simply restart the service. If it keeps stopping, give us a call and we can look through the logs to rectify the issue. All other reasons for Beams Mobile not working are the responsibility of your IT personnel as they do not involve the Beams application. More information can be found in our Knowledge Base.
