1- Messages
2- Options
3- SMS
4- E-mail gateways
5- Add new -- add 500
6- Go back one step, choose Message type
7- When sending, you have to send as E-mail, either by setting it up as default, or Set on send.
Another way, with message type set to SMS, when writing the message first write the email address then space followed by your message, then send to 500. ex: me@you.com bla bla bla .. press Yes or joystick in, and send to 500 |

Harleydog,
I have successfully set up my email with Voicestream service. I have noticed that it will not work via a GPRS connection. I can only get it working over the circuit switched connection. I've posted my settings in a different thread here, so you could give that a try... |

Harleydog,
Are you able to connect to other wap sites over a circuit switched connection? If so, try leaving it open and then sending/receiving your email.
You could also check for "white spaces" at the end of your login/ password strings and at the end of your IP addresses. I've found that the t9 text entry likes to put white spaces at the end of strings, which could mess up passwords and IP addresses theoretically. |

When you send an email via SMS, it is limited in length.
Also, it will show the from as (your number)@yourCarrier in this case voicestream.net, not your real email address. If they were to reply to the message, you would get an SMS, not an email,and it may be truncated due to the length limit.
If you don't have a circuit switched connection working, the settings for VoiceSream are:
In Data Comm:
If you havent done so already, add Account. It needs to be a DIFFERENT account than your GPRS data account.
Name it "GSM account" or something like that
Phone Number: +19132440821
User ID: wap
Password: (blank)
Password Request: Off
Data Rate 9.6
Dial Type ISDN
DNS Address: blank
In Wap Services:
1.Choose Wap Settings
2.Choose a DIFFERENT profile than your GPRS profile and choose a name for it
3. Choose Gateway
4. Type: IP
5. Choose IP Settings
6. Connect using (your Circuit switched data account that you just set up)
IP Address: 10.168.200.50
User ID: wap
Password: (blank)
Data Mode: Connection oriented
Security: off
Show Images: on
Response timer: 150
In Messages:
Choose Options
Choose Email
Edit Account
Connect Using: (your circuit switched data account)
Pop3/SMTP server: your IP addresses
mailbox login/password: make sure no white spaces
Keep trying, it took me a while too.
