Tips & Warnings

  • Before you begin the process of setting up an email account on your phone, make sure that the battery is charged. Since setting up an account takes some time and effort, you want to make sure that you only have to complete the process once.

  • Read over your phone's user manual to make yourself familiar with the options, settings and way the phone works. Remember, each cell phone is different.

  • If your email provider requires special security settings (port number, SSL, APOP, ESMTP), you must select the "Advanced" option before sending your email.

  • Throughout the process, your Port Number will automatically change depending on your SSL setting. The Port Number SHOULD NOT be changed by the user unless specified by your email provider.
