Asda Mobile Email Question

Probably a stupid question, but I have a mobile with an Asda sim (Vodaphone), but have used an O2 email address for years from my desktop.

I can receive emails to my mobile (pop.o2.co.uk:110:0) but cannot send them (smtp.o2.co.uk:25:0), I suspect the smtp settting is wrong but also that in the end I may have to get an O2 sim

    Setting up ASDA Mobile handsets

    Make sure you are able to use the internet and send picture messages on your phone with ASDA Mobile by making sure you have the right settings on your phone. It's easy with our free text service.
    Use the ASDA Mobile settings text service by texting ASDA to 44080. Texts are free. You will receive a text back from ASDA Mobile confirming your request has been received. When asked if you want to install the settings, click 'YES' and enter the PIN 1234 when asked to do so. This will install both MMS and Web browser settings onto your handset.

    Thanks for the reply, I can now receive and send emails at home using O2 over the wireless network, I think I had to enable the option to use the same password to send and receive emails.

    Whilst out and about I am happy just to use the smartphone just as a phone, I've had a look at the link you have sent regarding MMS unfortunately my phone HTC radar windows phone is not one which can be set up automatically by sending a text message, I will investigate further.
