how to email with d500

barjam_2

i have a d500 was on orange contract unlocked phone to use o2 payg, how do i use email on my phone as i have never used it before... also can i use any email address or do i have to use an o2 email address when i get it set up, where do i get the settings from and are they easy to put in, one more thing how much does it cost to send an email?

yes you can use your own email account



now this is what to do if its got an orange sim in it, i suppose it will be the same

click menu
click messaging
click email(number 3)
click settings(number 6)
click email account (number 3)
click account setting(number 2)
click account 2 (number 2) number 1 is probably set to default orange email - ignore this.
on the following screen type in your email settings, if you dont know them you will be able to get them from your ISP

Leave the Pop Port and Smtp port as they are and then save.
your email account will now be set up

You now have to make this your primary account

click menu
click messaging
click email(number 3)
click settings(number 6)
click current account (number 1)
highlight your new account

this is your email account set up.


now if your using a o2 sim in a previously orange locked phone you will probably need to alter the GPRS settings to o2

unfortunately i dont know how to do this bit but i believe o2 can send you a text that automatically adjusts these settings.


hope this helps

i now have a o2 payg simcard in
i emailed o2 with the query and they said the setting would need to come from manufacterer :rolleyes: but samsungs faq site says the settings need to come from o2 which i thought they would have done dont wanna ring them they charge a bomb:mad: do you think if i take it into an o2 shop they might know the settings

firstly go to http://www.o2.co.uk/productsservices/ota2/input2/0,,181,00.html

and fill out the form on there, you will recieve a text that will update your GPRS settings to 02 active.

be back in a mo when i find out the email settings

found the following on http://forum2.mobile-review.com//archive/index.php/t-35499.html

1. Go to Menu / Messages / Email / Settings / Email Profile / Profile Settings

2. Select your first blank profile and enter these settings (for prepay)
Profile Name: O2
APN: payandgo.o2.co.uk
Login Id: payandgo
Password: password
DNS1: 193.113.200.195
DNS2: 0.0.0.0

Save that profile

3. Click Back and CURRENT PROFILE - select your new one

if you do this it should all work, fingers crossed,

let me know if it works!

will let you know how i get on...:beer: what do i put in the email account

ooooh anything like this for the d600 on orange???

james123

if you mean the box that says "email account" it is just any name that you want, i would just use your isp's/email providers name i.e supanet or blueyonder.



if you mean the whole section of email account, you will need to fill in the details of the account you want the emails to be retrieved from.

i.e your username and password

then
smtp.supanet.com
pop.supanet.com (i have used supanet as an example as this is the isp/email provider i use)

etc etc. You will be able to get all of this information from your current email settings(if you use outlook express) or from the email provider if it is a web based service.

@ivrywtr, i'm not too sure on the d600, however i would be surprised if there is any difference. you will only have to do the first bit though

if you bought it as an orange phone and are stilll using it with an orange sim. Barjam's is only more complicated because the GPRS/Email settings will be geared up to connect to orange, however he/she is now using an o2 sim so the orange servers will not except it.

You can't setup hotmail because it doesn't support pop3. However, if you have gmail then you can follow their instructions at https://www.gmail.com to setup your account.
I've setup my Orange D600e (unlocked) to access virgin's server to download and send emails. It's a nice way to consume some of the free £5 sims I got from Virgin. FYI - a small email cost only 3p to send/receive, cheaper than a SMS!
