Set up e-mail with only a Navigate plan. - Wing, P4350 General

I've been told that it was possible to sync your emails to your PPC using only a Navigate data plan instead of a Email Data Client plan. I work for Rogers in Canada and I was always told that it could not be done. However i've come accross some situations where customers have actually pulled it through! All it requires is the settings and the proper steps to set it up and get it all synced together. Would anyone know how to do that? it's the difference between paying $5 for 5MB or $40 for 7MB... Thanks!

blackberry setup - Australia (O2 Mini)

Hi, was wondering if anyone can help me setup blackberry on my o2mini..
I have upgraded to the latest ROM which claims to have blackberry function.
But i have no idea how to make it work to start receiving my pop mails..
can anyone help me ><
i am with vodafone if that helps...
Just pop into a Vodafone store and they will help you set it up...you will have to go on a plan (not prepaid)
u sure they can help me set it up?
i remember going in before enquiring about blackberry for O2mini and they said its not suported officially..?
Would the setting up blackberry procedure the same as other ones?
i'll go in and ask them then
thanks
From memory I think you'll have to go onto the $49 data plan to use blackberry since they now charge $1 per 5 mins of GPRS connectivity.
Nearly makes me want to switch back to Telstra..... nearly :lol:
yay~~~
now its working~
basically you need to have BB account with your provider (pay service)
and setup account thru their website.
You will need your device's IMEI/PIN number
and POP3 email address + passwords and thats all!!!

I'm wondering whether this is still working for you ... according to this thread, the folks at Blackberry kick you off after a few days if the BB Connect client does not match the ROM's original network ...
PS. i have read alot of discussions on here about getting it to work properly... just to let you all know, if your PIN number for your blackberry client meant for another network.... blackberry themselves will cut of the traffic to your pin number... although this may take a week or so for it to cut off. The network you are with will not know this has happened hense you will get no help from them. This is a LICENSING issue... tech support advisors will not have this within thier network's published information.

Is it still working for you?
Yes its still working for me - with vodafone.
The only thing its not promised to do as a proper BB device is not been able to receive the emails straight away at occassionally.
Also, if you have the USB plugged in the BB email gets disabled automatically untill u unplug it.
I upgraded to the T-Mobile ROM 1.3.
Didnt do the big storage patch as i got lost in the middle of the tutorial and couldnt be bothered... ;p (BUT still have about 20mb original storage)
Also the post about BB checking mismatches probably only applys when ppl install the O2mini 1.3 ROM --> O2miniPro..
Otherwise i cant think of anything that i did more to make it work continueous.
Voda BB unlimited plan is $49 month i think.

Thanks for the info. In any event, work won't allow me to use my O2 for this - not a secure enough device, according to them.
BTW, I did the bigstorage thing ... very straightforward if you follow the 8 steps at the bottom of this page.
well thats too bad ><~
But about the security issue.. i m sure if the hackers really wants to get in your email they will always figure a way..
If you company uses a work server + sercurity + firewalls + whatever then probably YES it will be insecure compare to BB but then you cant use your email unless you at work... guess that the trade off..
With the Vodafone:
What happen is they give you a <[email protected]> which the settings etc links to your BB device - O2mini.
So whatever emails in the inbox there will be on your device.
To setup you have to 'nominate'/add your various pop3 accounts to make it PULL emails from them to the this <[email protected]>.
Hope this clarify some of the ideas the technology uses for you newbies like myself ;p

The issue is not really with BB Connect. The issue is that with Blackberry devices, the IT department can force a profile onto the Blackberry device and set up policies that cannot be overriden. Eg, they can set a policy that the device will ask for a password after 5 minutes of inactivity. This however cannot be done with a PDA running BB Connect.
Other examples of policies that they cannot enforce:
- Internet usage (web browsing, ssh'ing etc)
- Installation of software (games, etc)
Have you guys had any luck getting this working with Optus.
I have been trying to get it going for about 3 days now and am about to put it into the to hard basket.
Hi all,
I got it all installed and got my email address and 'the activation" password from my IT department. We use Blackberry Enterprise server.
There is no place for me to enter that information in the settings, any idea?
Thanks,
Eric.
anyone can help me...?
when i want to upgrade the ROM, there an error message "Country ID error". then what should i do...?

Cingular Email in a nutshell

nooblet here ...I did a search but did not find a comprehensize guide to telling me all of the types of email options I have So I Was hoping some one would be so kind enough to explain to this me.
Xpress mail from cingular ...umm you just add in all your email accounts to it and it send it out ?
Direct Push ( new from Microsoft ...have to have exchange server up)
Data ( some reason I like this ... I have the unlimited media works package and I get unlimited data ...so I have my email IMAP'ed and set to check ever 10 minutes) it uses data connection ..but I have unlimited so I dont care...
I really dont see why people would want the direct push as apposed to the data ...any way some one can explain all the options a person has with some pro's and cons of each ?
Thanks
Data is just a data plan that you purchase for Cingula, similar to purchasing minutes for your voice calls. It has nothing to do with email. Without the unlimited data plan though you'd get hit with a whopping big bill.
IMAP4 is an email protocol that leaves a copy of your messages on your server and downloads the headers, making it faster than POP3 and easier to manage IMO.
Direct Push requires an Exchange 2003 or later server and is what makes this device a true Crackberry Killer. IMAP4 and POP3 are polling email clients that one configures to check their mailbox on a periodic basis. Direct Push enables our emails to be pushed out to the device whenever the server receives a new email. In addition our Calendar, Tasks and of course Contacts are also synced in realtime.
Hope I was of some help.

Direct Push is great for people who are running Exchange, as new messages are queued up and copied over to your device automatically, as opposed to POP3 or IMAP where your device polls the mail server periodically for new E-mail.
Its whatever you prefer... direct push is mainly intended for companies who want to ensure employees get internal E-mail. Also, with the Microsoft Messaging and Security Feature Pack which comes on some new Windows Mobile 5 devices, companies can push out policies to the devices, for example requiring a password of x character length, 15 min timeout, hard reset device if wrong password typed in more than x amount of times, and other items, which makes IT and auditors able to sleep at night.
I personally use POP3 over SSL. It doesn't "guarentee" that E-mail winds up on the phone, but since I'm not doing anything business-critical, that is OK for my needs. Your needs/wants may be different, though. If you absolutely have to have mail on your phone due to clients and mission critical information, you might see about an Exchange hosted provider.
Pros of Direct push: Syncing of contact info (like the above poster stated), "Guarenteed" E-mail on your phone, security policies enforced, ability to remotely wipe your device should it get lost or stolen (assuming the thief hasn't yanked your SIM card and swapped his in.)
Cons of Direct Push: Need Exchange Server 2003 SP2 to access the features of it, so you need to run Exchange on a machine that is on the Internet, or use an Exchange hosted provider. HP offers this service for around $15-$20 a month.
Pros of POP3/IMAP: Internet standards, straightforward.
Cons of POP3/IMAP: Insecure unless your ISP allows for the use of SSL, no "guarentee" that E-mail winds up onto your phone.
wow cool
so I guess for me I will stick to my data plan. I just wish Cingular had a faster data serivce and better coverage .
THANKS a bunch !
Cingular is actually rolling out 3G service and they claim it will fully be implemented by the end of the year (hopefully!)
I've been using the Push Mail function since it was released ... which is really a good alternative to a CrackBerry though it still need more development say at least 2 more years before if could be considered a real competition to the CrackBerry. ... (i hate these ugly so called devices - blackberry)
you can actually get an exchange service for 10 bucks a month for a mailbox which isn't bad. The advantage of getting an exchange mailbox is the just mere fact you can have a "synchronized" mailbox on your mail application (on your laptop or desktop ... even on a Mac which i have set up), on the webmail and obviously on your pocket pc. i like the functionality of using this over POP because the synchronization is real time and there is not dependancy on locally sync-ing your device on your laptop/desktop just to update your contacts and your calendar.
POP3 doesn't give you that synchronization and if you like to have ALL FOLDERs synchronized ... getting the 10 Bucks a month exchange service is well worth it.
Obviously push mail services are designed for the business user and powerusers ....if you don't need this then don't even think the higher end pocket pc's available ....
US Carriers are so slow on selling higher end PDAs and phones ... the selections on T-Mobile and Cingular suck ... how can you accept that they just released their versions of the HTC Wizard while several flavors of the HTC Hermes are now available ... Cingular and T-Mobile USA should also think about adding BlackBerry Connect on their devices just like everybody else in the non-american world ....
Note that IMAP can also be used (in most cases) in a "Push" form. The "IMAP IDLE" function establishes a connection and waits for new messages to arrive, at which time they are immediately announced to the device. Extremely handy when properly implemented. You need a compatible client, of course. Apparently the latest test builds of FlexMail will handle this, though I have not tried them yet.
Our company is paying Cingular $5 per month per user for the Push Mail service over and above the unlimited data plan. We have been told not to use it while roaming (even in Canada) as it will cost us a fortune. But, the push mail seems to be very robust and per IT, it was very easy to setup and ofcourse the phone needs to be upgraded to the latest ROM available on the cingular site.
Cingular's charging for Push Mail? ... That would only happen if Cingular is also maintaining your exchange server. If you have your own Exchange server it should be fine.
I've never paid above my unlimited internet access feature.
How come no one has mentioned mail2web.com Live. This is exchange push email that is free. You just forward your email to their server and set your mail settings in Active Sync from the mail2web site.
I have been using it for six weeks and it is great. Sometimes I get the email before I can get it on outlook.
mail2web.com looks good but i just talked to them and if you have your personal domain name (like i do), it would cost you the same price as the other exchange services out there ... the free version and the personal exchange options do not support personal domains.
sorry i'm a geek through and through ... he he he

HTC 8525.

Hi,
I just recently purchased an HTC 8525 on the AT&T network. Is it worth investing in an unlimited data plan? Is there ways around this? I would like to be able to access the internet/email when I do not have access to WiFi. Any suggestions? Also what do you guys recommend be done to a stock 8525, in terms of applications, system structure, etc. The phone does have WM6 installed.
Howdy Newbie from my birth-state,
First, if you havent already done so, read through the entire Hermes Wiki. That will answer many of your questions. The unlimited data plan is KEY if you want to use, for ex., XM radio/MobiTV or receive GPS maps, etc.=basically anything that is "streaming". Just keep reading everything here-"seek and ye shall find". Welcome

As an employee, I'll be the first to tell you: Spend the $40-50/mo and get one of the unlimited plans. I should've taken a picture of a customer I had to tell had over $200 in data charges alone today. You've got 2 choices: $39.99 for unl. data and 1500 txts, or $49.99 for unl. everything. You've got the device, so spend the money to use it to its fullest.

I agree with the above poster. Get the unl data. You will find yourself doing things on your phone when your bored, ie net surfing and such. Plus I like to use internet sharing on my laptop when i am not home.
I got the MediaMax 200 plan for $19.99/mo. Unlimited internet, great price. Don't know if it's still available, but I signed up for it online. Also look at the threads-there's a thread about this program and how to get it.

Steve,
Which program?
Not a program, it's a data plan for the phone. Was available via Cingular/AT&T's online site and through their Business Portal (via employees who have deals with them). Don't know if it's still around, but probably worth searching for.
Steve

Steve
From newbie to another, do not leave AT&T to another carrier other than Verizon otherwise you'll find that the streaming media does not stream so well anymore other than wifi. As far as ROMS I have never had a problem with Schaps ROMs. Holidays with ever read & make-up your own mind or build your own.
Ah, nice Steve. Thanks for the info!
Better yet; cancel the AT&T, send back the phone. Buy a hermes off craigslist or ebay.
Activate a new account with t-mobile. Sell the phone you get from them on CL or ebay, or keep as a backup.
Unlock the hermes with the free unlocker.
Use with unlimited cheap $5.99 t-zones (just put the proxy server settings in the hermes to make it work).
Basically if you want the fastest and you can afford it, stay with AT&T. If you want the cheapest, the tzones can't be beat. It's kind of pokey, about dialup speed. But it works for me for:
Web surfing (traffic cam, cl, ebay)
Exchange Push email!
popmail

Telstra Email and Flashing Roms

If you want to connect to your work email (i.e. MS Exchange) with Telstra you have to use Activesync and what they call the Windows Mobile Email Solution. This is by way of an extra fee for a Email Pack (costs between $0-$40 depending on your call plan). This option then allows you unlimited email (or at least until you get to 1gig) provided it is through Activesync and Ms Exchange (i.e not POP or IMAP). It seems that Telstra route the Activesync data usage through a specific APN to that used for internet browsing (which you pay for separately). Presumably, this is set up in the Tesltra Rom that the HD2 comes with (in the form of the Dedicated line used for access in the Activesync settings on the phone). My concern is that if I flash my rom with any non-Telstra rom, these settings will be lost and if I used Activesync with standard Internet access (through telstra.internet APN), I may get a hefty bill at the month. Does anyone know what settings Tesltra uses for Activesync and if one could use those settings on a generic Rom? In addition, if Activesync will work through the telstra.internet APN, a plain Internet pack for $19 for 1 Gig is better value than the Email Pack (most users wouldn't used that much for email in a month). However, I'm not sure if Activesync will work on Telstra other than through its chosen route (Activesync requires the network operator to allow a connection to stay open for up to 30 minutes with no traffic). I've tried to find out from Tesltra what the settings are: all they would tell me is that any flash (even from HTC) will void my warranty!
Work email
Just connect directly to your Exchange server and dont worry about the Telstra bloat. All you need is a normal data pack, and hook up to your Exchange server (either via Active Sync or on the email tab). Don't pay for the extra email thing.
Regardless of the ROM, it will auto configure when it detects Telstra.
That's all you need. I'm with Telstra and regularly flash cooked ROMs.

Nah the problem is that the exchange e-mail the OP is talking about is a product/service Telstra offers which on any other phone requires you to set an APN different to Telstra.Internet or Telstra.WAP etc. It has the same functionality execpt that it acts as a VPN/Proxy for the exchange server connection.
I was previously using this on an iPhone without issue but cannot get it working on my HD2 as the carrier ROM won't let you change the APN.
I haven't tried it yet, but I'd assume that with any other ROM you'd set the default APN to telstra.<custom_name> and everything including exchange activesync would work.
I've always just used the normal telstra.wap APN for connection to my Exchange server.
But one thing I have found is that Activesync doesn't like keeping a connection alive if using the recommended proxy servers (150.1.181.* from memory).
So for the HD2 the preconfigured "Telstra Internet" gives me grief whereas using "My ISP" with only the telstra.wap APN and no proxy servers works fine. The difference in battery life is very noticeable as the phone is not constantly trying to maintain a connection.
the telstra website seems to suggest that the Email Pack allows access through a special route which is optimised for battery life and has been developed with Microsoft. I am guessing that these settings allow the phone to stay connected to the Excahnge server longer than Telstra would otherwise allow (when data goes through the usual internet APN).
It is really frustrating that Telstra can't/won't explain how it all works.
The pricing also makes me suspect that the Email Pack is a bit of a rip-off: if you don't choose to add it to the business mobile plus pack, you get 600MB of free data in your pack. If you choose the Email Pack, you have to pay an extra $20 and then your internet data (i.e. non-email) is reduced to 100MB. Which then means you have to add a 1Gig Data Pack (in case you use more than 100MB and get rorted with the Telstra excess data rates).
It would be really nice if Telstra was more open as to why this Email Pack is worth paying an extra $20 for.
I suspect the reason they are not is because it is a bit of a rip-off.
sounds a bit dodgy to me, letting your network operator become an active link in your work email chain.don't think I'd like o2 to be anything more than a blind data carrier for my works stuff.
Even downloading all e-mails in HTML with attachments and doing light web browsing I don't use more than 100-200MB a month so it isn't really an issue for me as I just buy enough prepaid datapacks.
When I got rid of the proxy servers I expected to have problems connecting to web sites and service but haven't had any dramas. I assume the special e-mail route bypasses any proxy servers and is optimised for exchange server push email traffic. But it does seem like premium pricing for the privilege.

[Q] So... I have a question for all the networking experts.

There is a company in my country called Movistar. They currently have this prepaid plan, which costs only the equivalent of $15 per month... contract free. It includes:
500 minutes to any company.
100 SMS to any company.
Unlimited minutes to any Movistar phone.
Unlimited SMS to any Movistar phone.
Unlimited access to these apps: Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and Email.
250MB of data.
Now... As you can see, the plan is pretty good for the price, except the lame amount of data.
But... The Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and Email are unlimited, without interruptions.
Is there a way to use that as my advantage and redirect the browser or something to use the data of those apps so I won't be limited to just 250MB? Is there a way to use a browser inside Facebook somehow?
Thanks.
No.
I'm pretty sure their DNS servers log the IP addresses for those sites and allow unthrottled access to those IPs. They all have more than one IP address per site, and they change so first you'd have to find that out. Then you have to find a way to first direct your traffic to facebooks and the other sites then route it to the site you really want to goto, then rout it back to you all through a VPN most likely so your site request actually comes back to you instead of getting denied.. In short, it would be complicated and illegal as hell and I don't think you will find an answer here without the thread getting locked. I don't think its possible even with the use of IP spoofing. These are all just somewhat educated guesses.
Do you guys think it would help if I root my phone and use a public DNS, like Google DNS or OpenDNS?
Funny thing is, that after I finish the 250MB, I still have access to Google and I can search and everything, but when I try to open a search result, it redirects to me to the website of my carrier (as it should happen).
But, with Chrome Beta, if I activate the bandwidth reduction function, I can get unlimited browsing.

But I'm betting that you will be billed for it. Regardless of being on a prepaid plan.
For example you have a 250MB cap. You can use up to that for the price you pay...however they will just charge you per MB/GB you use above your allotted plan amount.
So next month when you go to pay your $15...they might say you went over last month on your data and this month you're paying $ XX.
In essence they want you to go over and you'll pay dearly for it.
I have a friend who goes over his data amount all the time...last month was $125 in over usage on data.
I'd call them and find out what their protocol is on over usage before you get dinged.
Better to be proactive than reactive :good:
