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
Domain - www.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.
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.
Each time I go from New York to China (Guangzhou and Shanghai/Nanjing) I struggle with phone and internet access. My NY T-Mobile account works in China for GSM & GPRS, but the voice (GSM) is VERY expensive. GPRS is not too bad since I mostly send and receive email but I can only send email to addresses on my ISP account.
(such as [email protected] OR [email protected]) I cannot send to outside email accounts.
Is this a setting I need to change? I have tried 2 outgoing mail servers, the Myemail.T-Mobile.com and my ISP's outgoing server.
The best option for me is to have a local prepaid sim card for Guangzhou
that offers international calls, local calls and GPRS access. Unfortunately it is a struggle to explain this to China Mobile or China Unicom staff.
Can someone steer me in the right direction. Who is the best and least expensive carrier? How do I explain that I want GPRS, Not WAP.
What are the correct settings such as:
APN
Outgoing mail server
Any other important setting I will need for GSM & GPRS usage?
I can usually solve these problems after a full day of running around
between mobile shops and offices. However I would like to put together
a comprehensive list that I can keep and post on this forum to help others.
China use gsm900/1800/1900
im in china gprs if u need i can tell u setting.
If u wanna use gprs in china / u can choose china mobile(only one)
China Unicom have cdma 1x not gprs
Bible
Thanks for your reply. What part of China are you in?
Can I buy a prepaid sim card that lets me call and be called locally in China, call back to the USA and use GPRS? Where do I buy this sim card and are there any special deals? Can you list any settings I'll need for GPRS.
If you could list this info here, it would be a great help to me and the XDA community.
Thanks
Joe
please can u attache here the cab file for china moblie GPRS settings for xdaII?
Hi,
Could someone tell me if I could simply put a T-Mobile sim with web and walk tarrif into the trinity or any other non T-Mobile 3g phone and still get free internet access and msn messenger. Or do I specifically have to use their phones with their own version of browsers and messenger.
Need to know this before deciding which network and phone to go for.
Thanks
I have the same question
I have a SPV-M3100, but I don't know how to get connection settings for
T-Mobile Web n Walk service.
I have searched the forum, but no clear result.
Thank you first if anyone can have an idea.
here in the Netherlands you could do that. You should be able to get a sim-only with w&w and put that sim in any unlocked phone. This is not a logical choice here in the Netherlands since we get great deals when combined with a T-mobile branded phone. T-mobile the Netherlands is promoting some nokia phones as well...(N73)
Shouldn't be a problem - I've used my WnW SIM in several WM 3G and non 3G phones. Just set the apn / usrname / password to
GPRS APN address: general.t-mobile.uk
Username : user
Password: wap
and left everything else at default.
Telecom New Zealand has recently launced its "new" mobile network - WCDMA on 850MHz (it was a the rather antiquanted CDMA system prior!). Their range of "new" phones was nothing spectacular really and nothing much else worldwide appealed to me more than the X7510, so I duely purchased one from the UK.
When the SIM card was installed the unit come up with the following message:-
The Operator does not exist in the database. Please contact your Operator for the connections settings.
[Intrestingly enough, Vodafone NZ is in the database, even although the X7510 is not sold in NZ - but I digress!]
However the phone function and SMS appear to be working well, apart from the fact that it refuses to acknowledge the NZ Telecom Voicemail number. I get a good solid H in the Quick Menu Bar.
The data connection refuses to work at all though.
I have contacted "the Operator", but they are not all that interested in helping me as the X7510 is not a phone we support and while they've helped a little bit, the several HelpDesk Operators I've tried, all seem to end up with the same conclusion that everything the phone needs to know about the network and connection is on the SIM card.
When I open the SIM Manager, I can "see" some of the data there. (e.g. such as the Voicemail Number, but Voicemail on the phone Speed Dial is blank - no number stored). And when I try and connect to the Internet (using the number that Telecom provided verbally) it keeps asking for more Connections Settings, which I am told, there aren't any more to enter - it's all on the SIM!
It appears to me that the phone is trying to "capture" the Operator's Settings via radio rather than obtain it from the SIM!
Is there a way I can override the radio search function and get the PDA to "look" at the SIM card? Or maybe try any other method to obtain a data connection.
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers, Greg

I'm not too up on this, but I think your X7510 is NOT compatible with the TNZ system. Telstra use a very unusual hybrid of 850/2100 connections where most operators use 850/1900 or 2100 only. One is for upstream and the other for downstream where there are 2 figures.
Although it does support both 850 and 2100Mhz, they are on different frequency bands, so you could have the 850/1900 working OK, but not 850/2100.
What it means in practice is that whichever band you select, you will only get upstream or downstream UMTS connections, not both together. This may be why you see the 'H' but can't connect. In practice, you may only be able to use this phone on the slow GSM network.
Some of the other stuff is setup based, and some info you have been given is simply wrong!
To get the SMS and Voicemail number set, start the phone dialler, and go to Menu/Options/Services then scroll to the bottom setting in the window (VM and SMS) and tap it to highlight, then Get Settings. You may need to manually enter the VM access number you normally dial. Do 'Save to Network' and they should be OK.
For data access, you do not enter any phone numbers- you need to configure the setting as 'Cellular Modem GSM/3G' then enter the Access Point (APN) and any password and username.
It seems Telstra are cagey about publishing the connection parameters but I found this one:
GPRS APN: - telstra.internet
Username: - {blank}
Password: - {blank}
DNS: - 139.130.4.4, 203.50.170.2
As I suspect though, you may only be able to get GSM, not 3G/UMTS

Neil,
You are a Gem! Okay, the first part didn't work, but I can enter the Voicemail as Speed Dial #2 or use the Voice Dial on the Parrot BT; so no real biggy that the X7510 simply will not accept the Telecom Voicemail number.
But I did hit paydirt with your data access suggestion and that was the one that was really important for e-mails and Internet access (as there aren't too many Wi-Fi Hot Spots in sparsely populated New Zealand!!)
Thanks so much for your prompt and excellent response.
Regards,
Greg
You're welcome!
Presumably you are only getting GSM speeds for your email and web access? Or do Tesltra do something different with their band splits to allow full 3G access?
It may be interesting to go to DSL Reports when you have a good signal and see what speed you are getting. You might have to repeat the test with a larger file than the default, but you'll get the correct prompts.
GSM will give you from 25 to about 100kbps (GPRS or Edge), 3G will give up to 300kbps and HSDPA can give up to 2Mbps
I don't know if you can do anything about the incorrect speed dial 1, but at least you have a workaround. Are you sure you manually entered the Voicemail number in the VM box in Options/Services/SMS and Voicemail> Get Settings ? I've just tried this with my X7510 and after editing the VM number, then hitting 'OK' it commits the change to Speed Dial 1 correctly.
[Edit. I can alter my Speed Dial 1 number by opening the Dialler then tapping 'Speed Dial', highlighting SD1 then Menu/Edit which opens the settings screen. Scroll to the bottom of the list to select Voicemail and Text Messages then Get Settings. Manually enter your voicemail access number then tap 'OK' which send the settings to the network and commits the change to SpeedDial 1. If that doesn't work, it may suggest Telstra are blocking the ability to change. ]
Once again, thanks for the prompt reply.
On that speedtest link you gave me I got: - 483, 489 & 319 kbps. This is off the local tower which is a good 20 kms from the city. I'll try in the CBD tomorrow and see what I get.
I had aready tried your suggested methods for locking in the Voicemail number, but to no avail. On my X7510 it's called Voicemail and Text Messages and when you highlight and then Get Settings, it always shows a number for the Text Message Service, but a BIG blank for the Voice Mail!!
Intersting comment you made about the Service Provider possibly blocking the ability to change?? If they are, lil' old me ain't going to get them to change that!
b.t.w. it's Telecom, not Telstra (who although here in NZ, are not a big mobile player like they are in Ausssie). I would guess that in NZ, Telecom has about 45% market share and Vodafone likewise.
I'll be in touch on best speed as at this stage, I appear to be somewhere between 3G and HSDPA?
Cheers,
Greg
ok- your figures are showing a pretty good connection speed so you are definitely in the HSDPA zone!
With regard to the blank box for the VM number: have you actually tried typing your VM number into the box then hitting ok?
Neil,
Yes I have tried typing in the Voicemail number directly under Phone Settings. When I hit OK, it says "Sending new settings to Network" and then comes back with "Cannot Save your changes"
On the speed - I have just picked up the "new" USB data card (for use on the same HSPDA Network) for my laptop and given that a try - wow! Download 6,485 kbs - Upload 1,445 - that's 1.5 x times the speed of my Office copper-wire broadband system. Telecom did promise some pretty impressive speeds and they are delivering (by NZ standards anyway).
I actually think your first summation of the this NZ Network being on 850/2100 (and not compatible with setup on X7510) might be correct Neil as about 545 kbs is the best I can achieve on the X7510. Hey, I can live with that, the other features of the X7510 make up for that and the laptop is never far away if I want to get some real speed!!!
Cheers,
Greg
