    Please help me to make use of my Cingular Media Works from my T720
    mobile phone with a PDA/laptop. I got few postings from google and
    still had no clue on how to access the internet with my
    E115/PCG-FXA48+T720+data cable (CF&USB).

    Currently, I use the "browse" feature of the T720 to browse the
    internet. Going to other WAP sites results in "502:Bad Gateway". I
    used to be able to dial in my ISP (LAFN.ORG) with my T720/PDA/laptop(
    under Wireless Internet plan) but not any more (no dial tone under
    Media Works plan!!!).

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks and regards.

    Someone else gave me these settings that work with MediaWorks (posted in an
    ealier message in this group). These setting worked for his Nokia phone and
    my Siemens phone. Also, when I ordered MediaWorks, Cingular actually forgot
    to turn it on for me so these settings did not work until I called them.
    Here ya' go:

    For the WAP browser in the phone:
    Homepage: http://device.home
    Proxies: Enabled
    Proxy: wireless.cingular.com:80
    Data Bearer: GPRS
    Access Point(AP): wap.cingular
    Authentication Type: Secure
    Login type: automatic
    User name: [email protected] (use CAPS)
    Password: CINGULAR1 (use CAPS)


    For Laptop/PDA connection:
    In the phone set the Access Point(AP): wap.cingular
    In the Laptop/PDA set your Dialer to dial *99# on the serial your phone
    is connected to
    In the Laptop/PDA set your Dialer to use the usnername: [email protected]
    In the Laptop/PDA set your Dialer to use the password: CINGULAR1

    I have used the username [email protected], password CINGULAR1, and dial number of *99# to successfully connect my laptop to the internet via my Cingular cell phone.

    I can surf the web, send email, use IM. But, I cannot send email. Is there a Cingular SMTP server I should specify in my email account setup? Cingular customer service says this can't be done!

    photo.mycingular.com (if you're willing to put up with a Cingular ad being
    tacked on to the end of your outgoing messages).

    >mycingular.com


    Wrong again. Doesn't exist.

    Hi John, I remember you from the old FIDOnet days. Is there an online guide
    somewhere that would take me step by step through the email setup for a
    Motorola v600 using Cingular? I've Googled but can't seem to find what I'm
    looking for. I can send to and read email on the phone, but I can't
    send -from- the phone.

    TIA,
    Barry

    Wow -- so long ago -- cool.

    >Motorola v600 using Cingular? I've Googled but can't seem to find what I'm

    I don't know of such a guide -- sorry. My own guides (link below) are
    targeted at Sony Ericsson phones, but still might be of some help, since the
    basic concepts are the same.

    The usual problem when sending email from a cell phone with SMTP capability is
    the outgoing SMTP server. Thanks to spammers, outgoing SMTP servers now
    generally require some form of authentication when you're off-network. You
    should be able to find out what kind(s) of authentication are supported by
    contacting the email provider. Finding out what your cell phone supports may
    be a bigger challenge -- documentation is often woefully inadequate in this
    area.

    If the email provider supports "POP3 before SMTP" authentication, then you
    need to find a way to have the phone do a POP3 check or download before
    sending mail.

    Some phones (e.g., Sony Ericsson Z600) now have built-in ASMTP (Authenticated
    SMTP -- different from POP3 before SMTP) support. For this to work, you
    usually need to configure a valid mailbox id and password in the cell phone
    for that service provider.

    If all else fails (and you're willing to put up with a Cingular ad being
    tacked on to the end of your outgoing messages), you can use
    photo.mycingular.com as an outgoing SMTP server. Since you're authenticated
    by being on-network, no further authentication is required.
