7.4 Using E-mail with VZAccess
POP3 E-mail
You can use
the Verizon Wireless BroadbandAccess, NationalAccess or Quick 2 Net (14.4 kbps)
connection
to access your POP3 e-mail account if your e-mail provider allows access through other
providers (many do). If your provider restricts access to their outgoing mail server you will get an error
message similar to the one below if you are attempting to send mail.
Most send mail servers are not accessible from various connections to the Internet. You usually have
to be connected to the e-mail providers network to access their mail server and most e-mail providers
require authentication (a user name and password). The reason everyone has had to resort to this, is
that without these measures, anyone can use a send mail server to send massive amounts of
unwanted junk e-mail. If you are having trouble sending e-mail - this also includes replying and
forwarding, and you are getting an error message similar to that shown above, then your send mail
server can not be accessed from the Verizon Wireless network.
For customers in this situation, Verizon Wireless has made available a send mail server that you can
use in place of the one you normally use. All that is required is that you have a TXT messaging capable
Verizon Wireless phone or device and TXT messaging service, visit
www.vtext.com
and establish a
profile there by selecting "Join Up" and completing the form. You will be asked to enter your 10 digit
mobile number, a TXT message will be sent to your handset or device and will be used to establish
your password. The Sierra Wireless Aircard 555 and 555D PC Cards can receive TXT messages. The
Verizon Wireless PC3220 and PC5220 PC Cards are not TXT messaging capable. Most Verizon
Wireless phones are TXT messaging capable. If you have a PC Card that is not capable of receiving
TXT messages and you have a Verizon Wireless phone that is, you can use it to establish a profile on
www.vtext.com
as described above.
To use the Verizon Wireless Send Mail Server, you will edit your existing Mail account settings and
change the outgoing mail server you are currently using. In place of your existing Send Mail Server,
enter smtp.vzwmail.net, select "My server requires authentication" and using the 10 digit mobile
number you used to establish your profile on
www.vtext.com
, enter the 10 digit mobile
number@vzwmail.net (i.e. 6145551212@vzwmail.net) for the Send Mail Server user name. For the
password, use the password you established for
www.vtext.com
. You will also be able to use this
