I'm a newbie, so forgive me if this has been answered before!
I have an XDA 2, and am using an O2 PAYG SIM Card. After many emails to/from O2 Support, I have finally got access to GPRS WAP. This seems to be limited to accessing WAP through the O2 Active WAP, and will only access certain web addresses. If I type in a 'normal' web address (eg http://google.co.uk), the XDA 2 tries to dial GPRS Mobile Web GPRS and fails. Same thing happens if I try to send/receive from my POP3 email in-boxes which I have set up. This happens even when I am 'on line' with WAP, and WAP then drops out.
O2 have told me that only WAP access is allowed with PAYG SIM Cards.
Question - Is there a work-around for this? All I want to do is send/receive emails when out and about.
Thanks for any help I might receive.
You need Internet Access Point. If they can only provide you WAP access point you can not access internet or use POP3. You need to change your package, if they don't provide you with internet access point.
for example in Pakistan we use
ufone.plwap for wap
ufone.plinternet for Internet
You need to set ufone.plinternet to use Internet and POP3.

Accessing POP3 Email Through WAP
Thanks for the response above. I am beginning to realise that the price of using a PAYG SIM Card is the inability to access the web through 'normal' means.
But again, does anyone out there have experience of O2 PAYG?
Going away next week so I want to bea ble to check my POP3 NTL email via GPRS.
At the moment I have my XDA iiS set up so I can check the email via my WiFi connection at home. This works ok, and I can send or receive with no problems.
However, when I try to create a new Messaging account, I'm really struggling.
FYI, my mobile company is Virgin and my email ISP is NTL.
I've already created the standard GPRS connection through Virgin, which works for for internet browsing etc.
So far i've:
1 - created a new messaging account called "NTL via GPRS" (to differentiate from the wifi account)
2 - Input my NTL email address
3 - User Information - my usual NTL user name & password
4 - Account type is set to POP3
5 - Incoming Mail Server is set to POP.NTLWORLD.COM
6 - Outgoing Mail Server is set to SMTP.T-EMAIL.CO.UK (i believe this is because Virgin actually runs on the T-Mobile network?)
When I click on the send/receive button, the GPRS conection is made, but then all that happens is the progress indicator just says, "connecting..." for ages, then I get 2 error messages - "timed out waiting for server - please retry" - and "Messages cannot be dwnloaded to your mobile device. Make sure you are connected and that your email account settings are correct."
Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? Any help would be massively appreciated - thanks.
3 - User Information - my usual NTL user name.... did you set name only? try set [email protected]
Was anyone able to help here. I have exactly the same robelm with Tmobile in the UK. I would like to be able to send mail via GPRS but can't. I can receive it and I can do both on wifi.
The problem is some weard logic from the ISP's. You probably have an email account with the ISP that gets you your internet connections as well at home.
When using WiFi @ home you still send your email via your own ISP.
When you send email via GPRS, the email will be send via your GSM/GPRS provider of your sim-card which will be another telco/isp.
For some reason telco's/ISP won't allow you to send mail, using the smtp (outgoing mail) server of your own ISP. This is why it won't work via GPRS.
It very much depends on your telco company to get this working. I know the trick for vodafone in the Netherlands, but that won't help you I think. Most of the time some smart "googling" will help.
I my case the trick was to get an free account via the website of MyVodafone.nl
and on the PDA I defined an email account with an outgoing mail server that requires autentication and as autentication I used the u/p I created on the vodafone website. And the address of the outgoing mailserver in my case is authsmtp.vodafone.nl
No doubt A2DP/Pushmail is an excellent feature available with Universa but at the same time is the worst thing to pay some extra money on monthly basis to use it.
Can anybody find/help to suggest free pushmail service providers?
I may be a foolish person to ask this question but anyway want to save some money which I believe everybod wants

Are you having a laugh?
Nothing is free in life, the only way your gonna get push email without subscribing to a server is to get your own exchange server.
That's like asking if u can get ADSL without paying for it :roll:
Right
Ha ha Ha
You are right but one should look into the solutions. can you tell any site which has lower charges
Try getting your own exchange server? :wink:

I think mail2web one is free? Not sure. I went with the £4/mth 4smartphone.net one, just in case. It's fecking superb.
Don't be so sure... There could be websites that could offer free Exchange Accounts in order to send you advertising emails and stuff...
Something which a lot of people would be willing to accept in many cases...
I am using http://www.vgsmail.com/ppc/ with my IMAP account, and everything is great. You only pay it once, and you can use it to receive Push email from any compatible account...
There aren't of course the advantages of an Exchange server, but it is an excellent solution for anyone first time learner you wants to see the possibilities offered by Push Email...

This note on the vgsmial website is worrying though:
"Note: We announced the future closure of this service on 31/8/2005. However, vgsmail will continue to function for the foreseeable future under the following conditions:
* Support will be reduced to an absolute minimum and will be limit to significant outages, other system-wide issues or specific problems with credit on accounts.
* No refunds will be issued for credits made after 31/8/2005. "

This only applies to the Service VGSMAIL which was a email Provider. It does NOT apply to the software for PPC which is something completely different.
try http://mail2web.com they giving out limited free exchange email

Does that means the latest QTEK 9000 push email service is of no use now?
Thanks
I'm testing a exchange server with my own adsl connection. some people say you only need 20 mb traffic a month for pushmail, so i think 15,- will be far to much for this service.
the only thing you will need:
- adsl connection
- domain (7,- for a year)
- a computer that doesn't eat much electricity and is up for 24/7
- MS 2003 + exchange server (may be expensive....)
the only thing that will be difficult is to make good backups.
save the money for the domain and sign up at dyndns.org, it's free and made for changing IPs :wink:

I believe there's some sort of program to filter unwanted periodic follow-up e-mails from emoze, right?

Hi!
How to set up mail2web?
I signed up for a FREE mail2web LIVE account. Sent an email from Hotmail to Yahoo Mail (set to forward to mail2web) but not seeing anything on my QTEK 9000 (with latest ROM update)
I thought mail2web LIVE is FREE?
Quote from mail2web
"Note: You cannot check your email through POP3 or send email through SMTP with your mail2web LIVE account. These features are only supported in the paid plans. You must use Outlook Web Access to check and send email."
So, its not as easy as ABC, huh?
:roll:
I assume you've set up your mail2web "Exchange Server" in ActiveSync on your JasJar?
Once you're logged in to your mail2web account, you can get the settings that need to be entered into ActiveSync from "E-Mail Settings" link on the control panel:
https://support.mail2web.com/FreeServices/Exchange/ManageAccount.asp
Put the user ID and server address into AS and choose to update 'as and when' new mail arrives, and you're up and running...
BlackBerry Direct connect is on this ROM. Has somebody some experience with using this service in TM network. I am looking for some direct push mail solution and this one looks fine (ane paid :? ).
my main concern is, if it is possible to use for example mail2web service in combination with blackberry connect etc. etc. ... I do not have my own Exchange server.
and as I understand it .... if i want just Instant mails I dont need exchange server...am I right?
Is there a way to use MSN, AOL, Yahoo messagers using the unlimited messaging plan? The play says it allows it, but the Dash (6.1 upgraded) only wants to do it over data (wifi or data plan). I know normal phones have the messager apps that work over text plan.
Thank You.
Sorry, another question
For some reason I am unable to send MMS to email addresses. The keyboard seems locked to numbers. Is there any way around this or another MMS client I can use for sending?
Edit:
Found a work around, you can select an email address from your contacts and send that way. Odd.

In response to your first question, I think those apps are very operator specific because in most cases the operator has to have a gateway for managing SMS to the IM server.
There is (I think in the Wiki) a version of a messenger utility that uses SMS for T-Mobile USA but presumably the phone number to send the messages to is hard-coded so unless you can change it, it's probably fairly useless.
