Hi everyone

I am new to this so please excuse the following questions which may seem obvious to you but I have searched the site and cannot find the answers.

1. I notice that a lot of you post your questions/answers by phone - how do you set this up to be able to read the threads - do you do this by internet/wap or by email and how do you set it up?

2. I am somewhat confused about the costs for T-mobile and have a choice of GPRS OR WAP CSD - is one better for email accounts and the other for web/wap?

3. Do you p800 users tend to use WAP addresses or use conventional www sites - what is the benefit of either and where do you find the wap addresses from?

I apologise again but I am new to this and would appreciate some help

Many thanks

Simon

Apologies accepted, but.....

!!!

Starting with this thread (the one at the top of this particular forum):
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=18848&forum=14
...read *every* article - you will almost certainly find everything you need to know about setting up your phone for wap WWW-browsing and GPRS-access to email.

Thanks for that - unfortunately the thread is about setting the accounts up which I understand and can do.

My query was more the merits of both systems.

Both show up one after the other on wap though. This message was posted from a T300

Ah, ok - sorry.

Check your GPRS tariff. I'm on Voda200, with a rate of ca. £2.50 per MB; all the lower tariffs are at ca. £7.50 per MB.

With a dial-up connection, and a typical wap call tariffed at 10p per work out how much the call would cost to download 1 MB of data to see if the cost balances.

The benefit wIth GPRS is that the connection is 'always on', and you can set the phone to poll email accounts at intervals etc.
