You need an 'Internet APN' as well,in addition to the standards 'WAP APN'. The downside is, Vodafone instructs phone service providers not to 'provision'the Internet APN unless you have one of the the GPRS tariffs that has a monthly subscription in addition to the data fees.


Setting up GPRS email on the T68

This guide will go through where you will need to input your ISP details in
to the T68. After every option you will need to press yes to continue and no
if you need to go back to the previous option. There are two sections on the
T68 that you will need to input your settings:
* Click the blue joystick button to display the menu.
* Use the joystick button to move through the menu and select Connect
by pressing the joystick button (represented by two arrows).
* Scroll down to Data comm. and press the joystick button to select.
* Select Data accounts, followed by Add account?
* Under Account Type, highlight GPRS data
* Enter Name for New account Name: Internet
* Enter the following information, then press Save:
APN: internet
User ID: web
Password: web

Back at the menu screen, select the Messages option and then scroll down
and select Options and then Email.
From there select Edit Account and Add new account and then you can start
inputting the rest of your ISP settings starting with:
* Connect Via Then select Internet
* POP3 server (enter pop address)
* POP3 Port (no need to alter unless ISP settings state otherwise)
* Mailbox (username)
* Password
* SMTP Server
* SMTP Port (leave blank unless ISP settings state otherwise).
* Email address.
The remaining four options you should not need to change from there press
the no button twice and select Set Account and select the account you have
just made. Press no again three times and select email where you can either
compose a new email and send it or click on the send receive option to
receive the headers of any emails in your inbox from which you can download
the message body.
