Send and receive e-mail from your POP/ IMAP account and browse the web using just your T610...

Assumptions

You bought a SIM-free T610 and have a Vodafone pay as you talk (PAYT) SIM card. You called Vodafone and asked them to activate GPRS for your account.

Set up your T610 for Mobile Internet

Use Vodafone's online configuration tool:

http://wapota.vizzavi.co.uk/

This will send the settings to your phone as a text message (SMS). There are no manual instructions available for GPRS accounts (they are only for CSD/ GSM). What this does is create a new WAP Profile and Data Account for use with the "pp.vodafone.co.uk" APN, using these settings (on PAYT):

WAP Profile name: Vodafone GPRS
APN: pp.vodafone.co.uk
User name: wap
Password: wap
Data accounts name: Vodafone GPRS
IP address: 212.183.137.012

Some of these settings will be different if you are on contract (i.e. the APN you'll receive is "wap.vodafone.co.uk"). Does it matter? I don't know.

Note: These settings are the same as you need for setting up Vodafone live! (MMS and other WAP services)—except for a different (but seemingly unimportant) WAP Profile and Data Account name. So if you've already set up Vodafone live!, you don't actually need to use this configuration tool: you already have the Mobile Internet!

Although you are not limited to viewing WAP sites, most standard websites look bad and load slowly on a mobile phone. Dedicated WAP sites are written in a sub-set of HTML designed specifically for WAP phones called WML.

Configure your T610's e-mail client

• On the T610 go to Messages > Email > Options > Edit account > New Account
• Enter an account name e.g. Vodafone Mail > OK > Connect Using
• Select the Vodafone GPRS account you created above > Protocol
• Select POP3 > Incoming Server
• Enter pop.vodafone.net > OK > Incoming Port
• Enter 110 > OK > Mailbox
• Enter your Vodafone Mail username > OK > Password
• Enter your Vodafone Mail password > OK > Outgoing Server
• Enter smtp.vodafone.net > OK > Outgoing Port
• Enter 25 > OK > Email Address
• Enter your Vodafone Mail e-mail address (username@vodafone.net) > OK > Download
• Select Headers & Text > From name
• Enter your full name > OK > Signature
• Select No Signature or choose to use your Business Card > Copy Outgoing
• Select Off unless you want to cc: your e-mail messages to another e-mail address > Check Interval
• Select Off unless you want to automatically run up your phone bill
• Select Save

You should now be able to send and receive e-mail (spot the deliberate smelling mistake?):

Tip: When setting up other e-mail accounts (up to 3), if your Mailbox name includes ".", try the "1" key. If it includes the "@" symbol, try the "0" key.

You can save no more than six complete e-mails on the phone. If you want e-mail on the move or a better web experience, consider pairing your T3 with a Palm T3.
