It took me ages to find this out, but simply if you want to check, then check your APN - if you have wap.vodafone.co.uk it won't work for email, if you have upped your GPRS package and have "Internet" APN configured ( this has to be done manually on your account by customer services ) then it should work Annoying, Oh yes. benj Access the forum with a mobile phone via esato.mobi New Topic Reply
