Hi,

I got myself a O2 K750i from Onestopphoneshop.com by October 20th 2005 on O2 200 tariff.
(They are all unlocked and it worked nice with my t-mobile Pay As You Go SIM Card. I did not enter any t-mobile settings at all.)

After nearly a week my number was transfered from t-mobile to O2.

I then updated the firmware from R1L002 to R1N035. at sonyericsson.com
Wap is fine, I can log in and check and send email at wap.oa.yahoo.com (It needs some time to enter my ID and PW, can that be saved somehow?)

But both sending and receiving email (Messaging -> Email -> Inbox -> Send&rec) allways fails with "Finding Server" and then after minutes "Server not found".

I got the email account settings by text message from the sonyericsson webpage, but its not working at all.

Any hints?

JanMartin

Ok, today I payed the Luton O2 shop at Arnadale Center a visit.
They printed a FAQ. Yahoo! Mail Plus now works.

You can find the text here. Its exactly ONCE available in the internet.

Sony Ericsson K750i POP3 Email Pay Monthly settings

Follow point 1-14.
The goto messaging, email, Settings, Account settings. and select new O2 MOBILE WEB.

This numbers have NOT BEEN HELPFULL at all:

One stop phone shop (OSPS)

Mandy put me through to "technical support team", thats the "Talk me through helpline".
See next.

"Talk me through helpline"

Rob told me the phone needs to be provisioned by O2 to enable email.
He suggested I call O2. Also he told me they are not associated with OSPS at all.
(See next.)

---------------------------------------------------
O2
0870 2410202

The O2 automated answering system insisted I am talking to their BRITISH customer care center.

After entering my moblie phone number the only thing I got was this:
"Your mobile phone number is managed by an independant service provider. Please call the number provided on your last statement."

Allan Shepard told me yahoo, hotmail and gmail will not work with k750i at all.
(Well Allan, Yahoo! Mail plus does! I am sure you are wrong with gmail too. I don't care about hotmail.)
When I asked him to provide that info in writing he offered to test it for me.
I need to provide the data of my Yahoo account, including the password.
But it will need 5 days anyway, because there is a backlog.
