Getting an Internet account
For the purposes of this walkthrough, we’re going to assume that you are in the UK and that you want to create a new dial-up account with an Internet Service Provider. Here, we’re using a free BT Yahoo dial-up account. If you don’t have an existing dialup account, then sign up for one from BT Yahoo free-of-charge and get a pay-as-you go account. There’s no subscription fee, and you only pay standard call rates for the time you’re online. We’re rather keen on BT Yahoo for on-the-move access to email and web.
To get an account, first, go to BT
Yahoo from a PC, select "Pay as you Go" and create an account. You’ll then get some details that you’ll need to set up your account on your Series 60 phone. Then, looking at phone, follow these instructions:
Setting up the dialup connection
1.
Go to Tools, Settings, Connection, Access points, Options, New Access point.
2. Select ‘Use default settings’, and enter the following:
- Connection
name: BT Yahoo - Data bearer:

08457560000 - Username:
(This is your email address, e.g myname@btinternet.com) - Password
prompt: No - Password:
(the password you entered when you created your BT Yahoo account) - Authentication:
Normal - Gateway IP:

Problems
connecting?
- Ensure that
your Network operator (e.g. Orange, o2,
Vodafone) has ‘data-enabled’ your SIM card. If not, call their Customer
Service people. - Problems with
GPRS. If connecting with GPRS, you need to make
sure your network operator has enabled GPRS on your account. For more
on this, and other GPRS troubleshooting help, see our GPRS
page
Problems
sending emails
- If you get an
error such as "Problem sending message",
you may be trying to send a message to one ISP’s mailbox while connected
to a different ISP. To prevent spamming, most ISPs require you to
connect to their service (not someone else’s) in order to send an
email via their SMTP server. For instance, don’t be surprised if you
find that can’t send mail from your BT Yahoo account (using the server address mail.btinternet.com) if you’ve logged
on to Virgin Media.
Problems
retrieving emails
-
If
attempting to retrieve email gives you a "General: System
error", make sure you have "Gateway IP address" set to 0.0.0.0.
(Tools | Settings | Connection | Access points)
This message also appears if you are trying to connect to an email
account over a WAP connection (e.g. trying to connect to BT Yahoo‘s
mailbox while dialed up over o2‘s WAP service). - If you try
to download an email with a large attachment, it’s possible that there
won’t be enough memory on the device to complete the download. When
downloading an attachment, be aware as well as being expensive, you
may find you’re out of memory at an awkward moment, halting your email
access
Problems
logging in
-
If,
when attempting to log in, you’re constantly prompted for your password,
even though you know you’re typing in the right password, there are
two possible causes. If you’re already logged in (via a web browser
or a PC program like Outlook, then you’re often not allowed to log
on via a second device. Make sure you’re not already connected to
your email provider on another machine. The other thing to check is
that you’re account hasn’t been temporarily locked as you may have
made repeated attempts to log on incorrectly. Many ISPs allow you
to check your mail via a web service… it may be worth trying this
to make sure your account is working properly and there are no problems
at your ISP.
Problems
with GPRS
-
Most mobile phone operators use different APNs (Access Point Nodes)
for WAP-over-GPRS and email-over-GPRS. The upshot of this is that
you can’t connect to your email server over a GPRS WAP connection.
Additionally, you may need to have your network operator enable access
to the Internet/email GPRS service.Problems with o2 – If you experience a "GPRS: Invalid GPRS
access point" error when attempting to connect to your ISP over o2
via o2’s mobile.o2.co.uk APN, this is likely to be for one of two
reasons – either you have not entered the correct o2 Mobile Web APN
settings, or o2 has not enabled "Mobile Web" on your account (in
which case, contact
o2).For general information on o2’s data services, see our o2
information and o2 WAP pages.

Broadband
/ ADSL / Cable email
Q. I have a Broadband Advice/cable account (e.g Virgin Media),
and so I can’t use my phone to collect my POP mail on the move. Is there a workaround?
A. Many broadband and cable Internet suppliers offer dialup access too. Check with your supplier.
Failing that, provided the supplier uses POP3 email (as opposed to webmail), then
you should be able to access your email on a phone even if you connect through another provider. Set up your phone for Internet connectivity as outlined on this page (using a BT Yahoo account), then setup your email inbox to access your cable/Broadband provider’s POP server. Note that sending mail from
via your supplier’s SMTP server probably won’t work, so you may need to
use BT Yahoo’s SMTP address.
