Using Meteor GPRS to access email

antoinolachtnai

I got a meteor billpay phone last week. I moved over from vodafone.

Since the phone I got (SE w800i) has an email client, I want to use it to check my email.

To do this, I need to use Meteor's GPRS ISP service. This service is priced on the meteor website.

http://www.meteor.ie/makethemove/talk_other.html

However, I cannot get any settings to use this. Meteor want me to use their meteor email service. They say the other service is 'obsolete'. That just doesn't work for my situation.

The settings for meteor GPRS ISP that i have found on the internet don't seem to work.

The WAP settings don't seem to allow me to access anything other than websites or WAP sites.

Is there any way around this?

after making sure you are set up on their Internet Access point: isp.mymeteor.ie

you'd set up an GPRS connection using their ISP configs (ref: Sticky):
Profile Name: Meteor ISP
Connection Type: GPRS
APN: isp.mymeteor.ie
Username: my
Password: isp
IP and DNS are supplied on connection.

Then your email account needs to be configured and set to use the connection you created.

Aside: Meteor don't provide an SMTP server (at least not last time I asked), so you'll need to use your own and authenticate if necessary.

Thanks for that! I can't quite get it to work.

My phone seems to expect internet settings as well as data settings. It's asking about Internet mode (http or wap) It requires some sort of gateway (for wap) or proxy server (for http, optional). What should i set that to?

From a quick look at the sticky it doesn't look like there's a proxy server IP required (I'm guessing that you get allocated a public IP) so don't select that.
And I'd go for HTTP under "internet mode". The WAP option is usualy for the WAP browser.

OK, I got it to work in the end. There's a setting somewhere about login request, and once i set it to off, everything started to work.

Best,
