    hey guys, trying to set up an email account through gprs on a p900 but kinda lost. I have my own domain and email account, which i'd like to be able to send and recieve from my phone. I have downloaded the settings from the sony ericsson site for o2 prepaid, and the Internet browsing works fine, but I cannot get email to work, can anyone help! i get the error 'activation rejected'

    hi heggie how is the for you.i think the best option is call o2 from another phone and they will tell you the settings over the phone or send them to you.

    hi, use the 02 Prepay pp.internet access point settign from this sticky thread:
    Irish Operator Settings

    if you have any trouble make sure you are enabled for that specific access point, you'll need to check with O2 support

    and be aware of the data charges, suggest taking down headers only (or first X KB of an email)

    i'd do the call approach, they used to have a dedicated internet/mobile data support number but they dropped it a good while back :(

    if they seem condused make sure to highlight it is GPRS Internet/ISP you want, not just GPRS WAP - mentioning the access point name pp.internet sometimes helps too :)

    hi, is the connection working now and just the email is failing or is the GPRS connection still not being established?

    things like detailing error messages or describing what is happening is helpful when trying to offer suggestions :)

    o2 are really taking the pi$$, call them and talk to a supervisor tell them of the service.they are really lasy and un helpful.

    what did they say the time you rang them before.

    also heggie please leave me feedback on my feedback site.check out my signiture.
    thanks
