Im a total newbie when it comes to phones that can actually "do more things than call people". Ive already made a post on the tech board cause the IR is driving me nuts as well.
Right now i have a t637 brand new from cingular and im on the $29.99 plan with no extra features (so i guess that means im being billed by the KB usage whenever i surf the net on my phone.
does it makes sense to get an internet plan if i only plan on using it every so often?
also, what is WAP i keep hearing about and how is it different from normal internet access on my phone
is there additional charge for WAP usage?
anyway, i apologize if i sound completely new and uninformed but i figured if there was any place to learn about my new phone this was it.
Thanks |

Welcome here! U should contact your operator and let u inform abov the charges of wap csd and wap gprs. At the first u pay for the time u browse, at the second for the downloaded data amount. They can send u the settings via sms and u just have to store it.

U can acces gmail account via your phone email pop3 client but first you need to activate pop3 acces from gmail settings. Also, i think that the pop3 and smtp addresses must be entered as IP (so it worked on my t300). Do a ping (from ms-dos prompt - 'ping address' to pop3/smtp gmail address

Incoming = pop3, outgoing = smtp. The addresses must be ip. (also dont forget to activate pop3 from gmail.google.com). And also watch out that gmail uses other port for smtp instead of default one. For addresses read gmail pop3 help (somewhere in settings i think or 'new features'?) once u have logged in via web

Incoming server: pop.gmail.com, port: 995. Outgoing server: smtp.gmail.com, port: 465 or 587. Need an internet connection for this, and not a wap one (since the last one has almost all ports blocked)
