POP3 Email Setup in WM2003 - General Topics

Hi,
Has anyone setup POP3 email receiving/sending using their cell phone line (instead of GPRS) and connecting to their dial-up service from the SX56?
I have tried several times on the WM2003, but couldn't get it to work! Is this doable?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

Not sure, but I think AT&T might not let you use dialup for data calls (called "CSD"). Are you able to surf the Internet on your SX56 via dial-up?

Just checked - my cell carrier is T-Mobile and the ISP I dialed into is myFreeI.
Worked fine for me both for surfing and Inbox email. T-Mobile permits CSD data connections and tells you how to set up a CSD connection in the user manual. Again, AT&T may not support doing this.

Works fine for me

Can anyone send me the play-by-play directions to set this up? Not sure what I am doing wrong. I am setting this up in Connections, with my dial up number, user id, password etc. When I dial, its dialing but NOT negotiating/handshaking and establishing a connection. The number I am dialing to is a valid number. I use Earthlink for my POP3/SMTP.
Thanks,
Dave

Is AT&T your cell carrier? I'm more sure now that it won't work over AT&T - they need to activate CSD (but I think the catch is that they won't).

POP3/SMTP on [email protected] using ATT
Hi Henry:
Yes I am using AT&T. Thanks for the link to the thread on this discussion. After reading it, I am now convinced AT&T has blocked this service. There is an argument to be made for sharing the same bandwith with data as well as voice. However, then we the consumers are left with the GPRS stick and exhorbitant pricing!
I am hoping someone will come up with cooking the ATT ROM which will allow ISP direct dial up from cell phones using WM2003 Connections and still maintaining ATT cell phone services.
Thanks,
Dave

O2 UK POP3 settings & GSM data type
Have any O2 UK customers got POP3 to work when using GSM data type connection as opposed to GPRS?
I've tried a few times but to no avail. Here are the settings I am using:
Email address - "username"@o2.co.uk
Account type - POP3
Name - POP3
Incoming mail - mail.o2.co.uk
Outgoing mail - smtp.o2.co.uk

Are there any problems with these settings?
Thanks

I use my standard settings, username [email protected] Password: ????. pop3: pop3.blueyonder.co.uk. SMTP: smtp.blueyonder.co.uk. Works fine over gsm. I am Payandgo customer.

Newby question - MMS and GPRS

Hello all,
I was wondering, in order to receive an MMS message, do I have to turn on GPRS communication, or is it automatically switched on upon receiving an MMS message?
It has to be configured on your device, GPRS and MMS that is, and it also has to be acivated by your network. I was trying to get my GPRS working and couldn't work out why it wasn't until I finally spoke to someone at O2 who had a vague idea of what they were doing and said new customers had to request activation of GPRS!
i get mms wihtout having turned grps on at the time
but when i open the msg then it connect to the network using grps
and get the mms pic, movie, sound or what ever
Ah, that clarifies!
Thanks for your replies!
With regards,
Thumper
a bit more clarification ... the MMS platform sends a special SMS to the phone (xda or other) ... if the phone is equiped for MMS the proper application (ex: MMS Composer or EZWAP 2.5) will start and it will connect through GPRS ... this requires also to have the device and the dial registered on the MMS platform .... otherwise a normal SMS will be displayed containing a URL to download the MMS from any web browser.
My GPRS connection works fine, I can browse the Internet with IE. But when I try to send a photo message (MMS), I get "Cannot connet". Does anyone know why?
if you put in the right
Server name
Gateway
and
server address
in mms composer
and you have made them turn on mms in their end (the cellphone company)
and some people need to make a new grps connections with another access point (often mms)
then i dont know
They sent me a text message that automatically entered the details in MMS composer for me (server name, server address and gateway). I found the new details there when I checked. Because I called them to activate the service (and so they sent me the text message), I'm assuming it's active from their end. I'm not aware of a different GPRS connection I should be using. There are already three connections set up: WAP CSD, WAP GPRS and Internet GPRS. Takker ellers for tilbagemelding.

VIRGIN GPRS settings

Despite all my efforts with Virgin Mobile in the UK I cannot get the correct GPRS settings. They claim their network supports GPRS.
Has anyone set it up?
virgin gprs settings
What are you settings?
Virgin GPRS
I can connect using the setting supplied on the virgin site but I cannot browse web pages - I get the page is not available message box.
I do get the small [GPRS] displayed at the top of the internet explorer bar but havent managed to view a web page or use MSN messenger over GPRS.
If any one has I'd love to know the settings please : )
Ian
It could be the same as O2, you are allowed only wap access over gprs.
GPRS on unlocked O2 XDA
Ok is anyone using a UK unlocked O2 XDA2 using a PAYG SIM (any network - dont mind) and able to browse internet and use msn messenger?
If you are please can you let me know the network and your settings? I have read most of the previous posting and have not managed to set up this up yet - surely its just me being thick and it's possible
Many thanks
Hiya
yes used both O2 and now virgin in an unlocked XDAII - at this moment trying to figure out the settings for it all but getting there - will update soon.
GPRS on unlocked O2 XDA
many thanks look forward to your reply - can you detail all the setting you are using under connections etc please?
Not too bothered about the MMS but would definately like to have web and msn working
regards
Ian
Ok here are the settings, but i am having problems - if i use the IP it doesnt connect, but if i don't it connects but i don't get any response from pages - i have noticed the xda is deleting the zeros(shown in red) - but as i gather this is normal for an IP to do this? (sysadmins advise?)

Bye bye O2!

With the recent completion of my 12 month contract wih O2, I decided to try to get a better data tariff for my Himalaya.
Best O2 could manage - 50mins talk, 200sms, 11Mb gprs for £24pm on a 12 month contract.
Vodafone - 200mins talk and 1000sms (or equivalent amount of mms / gprs) That's equivalent to 50Mb of gprs usage!!! And, it only has a 1 month cancellation period.
I sure hope I'm not missing something, because the SIM is already on its way!
Has vodaphone said that the smsi are equivalent to to GPRS? That's a really good package, 50mb of gprs. Is it all for £24 as well? ex vat?
V
The Vodafone rep specifically told me that 20sms = 1Megabyte data, and I was quite specific about the fact I wanted a good data tariff on my XDA2 for browsing, email, etc... and as the call was recorded.. it *should* work out OK.
This is great! Means I can use traffic update on Tomtom as much as I want. Might even buy a Backpack so I can email images from my Canon 300d. 8)
The guy was really very persistant though, I have to say. I'm sure these call centre guys must get some SAS training in interogation. Had its plus side though, he made a point of sifting through the available phone numbers until I got one I liked :lol:
Not sure about inc/exc VAT, but in my limted experience of mobile companies to date, quoted prices are inclusive.
I can't understand how an SMS would be 50KB. I was under the impression each SMS would be around 256 bytes - hence the 160 character limit.
I know, the sums were flying through my head faster than treacle up a shovel when I was on the phone to vodafone
But at the end of the day, 50Mb is 50Mb, and £25 is £25. So, as long as I can genuinely use 50Mb of gprs in any given month for £25 (plus, use 250 minutes of talk-time), then wayhey! Let's see if i can make Vodafone introduce a 'fair usage' policy! :evil:
Yeah O2 suck. I unlocked my Orange M2000 (Blue Angel) and they won't give me any GPRS Pay and Go settings that will work, I have tried everything. Orange are now offering the same tariff I am on with o2 with 300 free texts, 1mb free GPRS when you top up £10 a month. They also offer a free Sim Card if you apply before Wednesday and free calls to Orange customers for 5 years. Is anybody on this tariff with Orange? Would you recommend me trying it? Do you think I will be able to access GPRS even though I am on Pay as you go?
Many Thanks.

@ Waddington..Have you tried all this?
I take it you've been through all this??(below) I just got 2 free sims from O2, 100minutes free to any mobile, 1MB GPRS (on pay n go), 100 free texts or mix n match what you want.
O2 Xda IIs GPRS WAP Pay and Go settings:
Make sure that when entering 'O2' into the settings that the letter 'O' is selected and not a zero.
It is not possible to select the 'Prepaid' option within Tools > Connections in the O2 Active UI on the Xda IIs - 'Postpaid' is selected as default and cannot be changed.
To use the Xda IIs with an O2 Pay and Go SIM the WAP settings will need to be changed manually. Note that it will not be necessary to carry out a hard (full) reset in order to complete this.
Important: Once the WAP settings have been changed, if a hard reset is carried out at some future point, then the settings will automatically be re-configured back to Postpaid and they will need to be manually changed again.
Note: Only WAP services are possible with a Pay and Go SIM. For services that need a web connection (web browsing, POP3, MSN Messenger), a Pay Monthly SIM would be required.

Hi, Yeah I have tried all of that. A number of times. I managed to get my PDA to say connecting but then it says disconnected. It’s a shame really because I really like O2 but not being able to access GPRS on this mobile especially because it’s a PDA is not good. I will defiantly keep my O2 Sim card just in case they give support for GPRS on the blue angel sometime. I’ll keep my fingers crossed!
There may still be hope..
@Waddington..There may still be hope. Register with www.simalert.com They email you the second they get any FREE SIMS deals, from VODA, ORANGE, O2, T-MOBILE etc. I just got 2x O2 Pay n Go Sims for free, 10pound topups , 100 free texts , 100free minutes to any mobile, 1MB free GPRS downloads, plus your 10pounds of calls. O2 should REALY treat there Pay n Go customers equaly as Contract customers :roll:
The O2 XDA 2's is a high end piece of kit, and a good sale for O2.
It's only fair that O2 should treat us with more respect and service.
Seeing how these new Pay n Go sims support GPRS, and O2 should be helping you out with your Sim. Is it an XDA issue or a Sim issue?
If its a SIM issue then they should send you a new one with your exiting number, it's no big deal to them, it's just a few keystrokes to them. And you pay them at least 10pounds every month plus Bolt-Ons.
A simcard must cost O2, 0.002p to mass produce. good luck! :wink:

Cheers but..
Thanks Daz but I have been on the I-Mate site and could not register as I have an O2 XDA serial number etc.. Also I tried everyhting Waddington did and I can't connect either I'm sending O2 this thread, may they hang there heads in shame! Orange do a good new sim dont they? I've orderd one and it was FREE. To O2 : You know what you can do with O2. :wink:
Now on Vodafone
Update... received vodafone sim (day later than expected, but hey), but it wouldn't register on the network.
3 calls later to customer services (twice cut off) and it transpired that the phone number didn't match the sim. Fixed, but now with a phone number consisting of random digits (not the 'magic' number I had been promised).
Few days later, I receive sms messages for someone else. Another call to customer services reveals that someone at vodafone has inadvertently entered my sim number into this other person's account. So, had to collect a new sim from the local vodafone shop and call customer services to activate it. However, did get a months free line rental and free number change (now have a decent number).
Just as well I'm in a good mood this week!
Vodaphone, O2, Jokers!
OMG! they are all as bad as each other, employing staff fresh out of Burger King!!! No wonder they make so many mistakes.. I just got a FREE Voda Sim , do I dare try topping it up? I think not after reading that last post.
I have some of them new O2 GPRS enabled (or so called GPRS enabled) sims. I think I will email O2 again and see what kind of automated reply I get. with all these cards looks like I have a pack of JOKERS!! OK gang it's time to FLAME ON! i'm gonna email the crap out of O2 until I get some service! because of the NON SERVICE OF GPRS originaly offered to me and Waddington etc etc :: [email protected] - has anyone got the cutomercare email address for VODAPHONE? ORANGE? this would be helpful as I can't afford to phone them.
21-11-05 COMPLAINT TO O2 MANAGEMENT.
TO: [email protected] ("DIRECTOR" OF O2 CUSTOMER SERVICE)
Dear Sir/Madam, I am absolutly disgusted that your company can't figure out a way to make the O2-XDA-lls WAP work properly, so many other people with the same problem now get this pre-made message saying that "The O2 XDA 2s can't be WAP enabled to Pay as You Go sim", and thats after you put us through all the previouse setup instructions that takes ages knowing that it wont work anyay!. All that so you can offer us MMS messages which no one uses!. And the tarrif includes WAP access and or 1MB of WEB SURFING on my Newer Sims, and these wont work either! This is a flagrant breach of your terms and conditions. And trying to make it alright by offering us MMS messgaes? well I dont want MMS messages , AND THEY DONT WORK ANYWAY even if I did want them! and I DONT.
O2 should hang there heads in shame! at the total disrespect of Pay n Go Customers! treated like third class citizens after buying High End Flagship O2 XDA PDA phone..
I NEED WAP or GPRS ACCESS!. I suggest that your Management look at this thread:

flame O2 DIRECTOR CUSTOMER SERVICE: [email protected]
This has been a terrible experience O2!
Dear Viveck (director O2 customer service), I awoke to find my "G" symbol stating that GPRS is now setup? so I tryed to connect and it said It was connected, great I thought. So I tried connect to a WAPSITE , nothing, I tryed to connect to several other WAP WEBSITES, nothing, AND I'm getting charged for it! I recieved a message form O2 to say TopUp or loose your allowance, so I topped up just earlier, and got nothing in return! my number is 07*********, I have just recieved another text message, its saying My TopUp is taking longer than expected??? and we are sorry for the inconvenience??? what is going on?? I have still not recieved my topup.
This is completely unacceptable, I would like some kind of compensation for the complete incompetance and run around i've had with O2's lack of service.
The reply from my last complaint from O2:
Currently you are subscribed to the free allowances of 300 text messages and 300 WAP minutes and you will be "charged" to access WAP via GPRS.
Please connect to WAP using the GSM network.
The only free WAP calls we offer are those made via the dial-up numbers of 915000 or +447712927927, otherwise your WAP connection will be chargeable as a cross network call.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can someone tell me how to connect using GSM?? As O2 have failed to tell me how. I seem to recognise the above +447712927927 I'm sure thats the one thats always been in my sim settings. any help would be appreciated. I have had no reply from Viveck Dev. good grief
This might work, but I'm not gaurunteeing anything..
From O2 : Re: No free WAP and or GPRS.
A) Your mobile number 07********* has a free allowance bundle of 300 text messages and 300 GSM WAP minutes. This is why you are charged for accessing GPRS WAP.
I request that you immediately call 2425 free or text 'ONMSG' to 21300 to change your free 300 GSM WAP minutes to 1 Mb GPRS WAP.
Your Anniversary date is the **nd of every month.
B) I cannot find any top-up attempt for your mobile number 07******** in the last 30 days. This is why your free allowance bundle has not been reactivated.
"ACTUALY I DID TOPUP AT 10.A.M. I RECIEVED MY TOPUP AT ABOUT 1PM"
Please let us know which top-up method was used. E-TOPUP WAS USED
I ASKED FOR SOME COMPENSATION:
C) You are eligible for a free Joining Treat AND an O2 Treat.
Please click the links given below for more details:

O2s unbelievable incompetance.
MR.****** ***** 07********* SCOLIOSIS SUFFERER WITH NO LANDLINE PHONE. THIS IS MY LIFE LINE.
Dear Sir / Madam, I topped up at approximatly 9.30 AM on the 22nd of November after getting a reminder text from O2 that very morning, PLEASE enable my text and WAP as I am being charged again I have done everything you said to the letter and still I'm getting charged, There was a delay from O2 adding my credit due to a problem with O2 not me. I recieved 3 text messages saying "we are sorry for the inCONvenience etc..."
YOU SAY:
>B) I cannot find any top-up attempt for your mobile number 07*********
>in the last 30 days. This is why your free allowance bundle has not been
>reactivated.
THIS IS BECAUSE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH O2, NOT ME. I HAVE A RECEIPT TO PROOVE THAT I TOPPED UP ON THE MORNING OF THE 22nd NOV, IF YOU WANT A COPY PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I have also reluctantly made the GPRS changes from GSM WAP to GPRS at 1MB
that you have told me to do, I will wait another day and try it. I dont expect it to work, even though I've spent ages along with many other people trying to make our XDA phones to work at www.xda-developers.com ,
QUESTION: Can you tell me the correct "connection settings" for FREE 1-MB GPRS from an O2-XDA-2s-PDA-PHONE? as the last ones didn't work.
RE: XDA-DEVELOPERS Sorry for multiple posts BUT this may help some of you complain and get some kind of compensation.
o2 and net connection
OK team reading the thread I m not too sure what service is availiable through o2 .
I have an Alpine ( XDA 11i) and use a number of sims . I only use the P A U G sim for net access and limit my self to £10.00 per month , which at their rates of £ 2.35Mb is almost nothing , but it works .
In the past I have also been able to connect to the net on the 927 no but not at GPRS speed ( cellular line , not cellular line GPRS), at a real catapillar speed . Now this wont work at all and I get a no modem at this No dialoge box !!! . however , if you dial the No on a normal phone and listen there clearly is digital traffic ( ie a modem ) .
Any thoughts
Astro1
I still need correct settings , I CAN get GPRS to connect but NOTHING surfs up at all WAP and WWW. sites. I choose 50 minutes to any mobile, then they sent me a text saying I have the free minutes everymonth till 23 02 06 - I guess its better than nothing (FOR NOW!), BUT my problems havn't been resolved like you I still can't surf up anything, I wonder am I only supposed to Surf WAP sites via GPRS, all the sites I tried said The Page Is Unavialable,yeh right so Google Mobile is unavailable?? I think not. Plus I own a few domains and it can't find them either, I will see what I can find on latest settings emails..
THIS IS UNREAL CHECK THIS OUT: (BIG TYPE IS ME, IM NOT SHOUTING
Please connect to WAP using the GSM network. OK LOOKS FINE SO FAR..
The only free WAP calls we offer are those made via the dial-up numbers of 915000 or +447712927927, otherwise your WAP connection will be chargeable as a cross network call.
THEN THEY SAY THIS DIRECTLY BELOW!! :
We do not have the Pay and Go GSM WAP settings for your O2 Xda IIs.
SO WHAT WAS ALL THAT LAST INFO ABOUT??? ABSOLUTE JOKERS!
THEN SAYS THIS DIRECTLY AFTER??
Please find below the generic GSM settings for your phone. You may enter these settings to see " if " the services work.

God help us all.
Here we go again..
My Reply from, O2 DATA SUPPORT TEAM.. O2 XDA IIs / 2s
From looking at the settings you have below, they would seem generic
settings and not totally applicable to the XDA, I have placed both GPRS
WAP and GSM WAP over Pay and Go below which will get you connected to
the WAP services.
What I would mention is that over WAP we offer this is a WAP service,
but on the XDA you can add an extra port number so in theory you can use
web over wap, for this I have placed extra details below. (note this
isn't supported by us but we have found it to work).
The reason you won't have been able to go to a wap site is that the
settings you have below don't advise you where to enter the proxy
server, which is the part that directs you on to the internet.
To make the XDA choose a particular connection over another, you will
need to go into start, connections, connections, under My Work Network
tap manage existing connections. Within hear, if you have GPRS WAP and
GSM WAP, you can put a dot next to the connection you wish to use, and
this will prioritise itself over the other.
If you have any further queries regarding the devices, do not hesitate
to write again.

Paul

I have been going to Anxiety Management for the last year due to a traumatic experience, O2 have put me back to square one!
and thats no joke.
I am now going to www.holymoly.co.uk/cc and posting to C#NTSCORNER!! regarding O2.. because they are without doubt the biggest bunch of C#NTS! I HAVE EVER HAD TO DEAL WITH!! - British Telecom and BT are already in there I wonder why?

mini S setup nightmare...

Hi everyone
I just recently bought an o2 XDA mini S and I just can not seem to get it to connect to the internet or check my pop3 email.
Keeps coming back with the following error message:
Cannot Connect
Dialed: mobile.o2.co.uk
No Modem at above number. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings.
I have triple checked all the settings which were emailed to me by o2 - WAP, GPRS and MMS settings and all seem to have been entered correctly but dont work.
If anyone can help me Id be very greatful...Ive tried everything I can think of but am not getting anywhere with this
Thank you in advance

under connections\settings\my isp\manage existing connections make sure when it says select a modem - have cellular line (gprs) selected. And make sure O2 have mobileweb enabled at their end for your account. Their no is 202.
Next time better to post in wizard forum - you will get more responses.
I'll keep an eye on this post in case U need more help.
Hi Cath
Just try removing the SIM card wiping on something soft and all should work (but as above you must be on the correct tariff)

Just got a Touch Cruise

I am a long time reader newer poster. I am coming from a Treo 750. Is there anything I should do to this before I start adding my apps and transfering contacts? Is there a better backup of my Treo other than the Windows Vista Sync? I am mainly concerned with contacts and software. Also I am on Att I heard about the only thing I need to do is swap Sim card out, also should I adjust the wap settings for this to work. [email protected] password CINGULAR1. Also does it matter when syning new device the device name be the same? What is the best ROM I should have?
ATT
I also use att and all i have to do is set up the network to use media net and tell it under advanced to not use the proxy. It should work fine for you then. I am using Bepe rom 6.3 premium. The connection wizzard sets up right for ATT in the us except fothe proxy. you do npot have to enterthe wap settings they are there already.
Coming from my 750, I didn't have to do a thing - just stick in sim card and I was good to go. I am on the PDAConnect plan so no issues with proxies and such.
As for backup, use Sprite. It comes with the Cruise on the CD.
Thanks I will do that. I should have it in my hands tomorrow morning.

I got my phone installed bepe rom premium, I thought I got all of the att settings correct I am able to receive sms and email but for some reason It only has edge when before the rom i was getting hsdpa and 3g speeds. can you please take me through a small tutorial of what excat settings I need in the connections panel. I have only 1 listed MEdiaNet I then went to the advanced network and it says: turn on HSDPA it is checked, GPRS PAP authentication is checked, CSD Line Type data rate 9600 bps(v.32) connection element Transparent, SMS Service SMS over GSM. What else do I need to do? Please help
Also under comm manager it shows no data connection available?????
I figured it out. I removed all settings and went through the connection wizard. Also I forgot to change the band type to auto, that is why I would only get edge speeds. I wasnt sure about the proxy settings, I was supposed to checkit not uncheck it. and found the server settings and port numbers. Thak for everything. This phone is so much better than the treo 750. Well worth the money. No more square screen for me.
Out of curiosity what do we need to set the proxy to? Is this for using tethering or something else? I am on ATT as well and the auto network configure app thing seems to have set it all up correctly. Is there anything additional to be done?
