Greetings,
I can used my Nokia 6800 to send a text message, and specifiy "send as email". I simply type in an email address, and then a "E-mail server number" (0000000000 for Rogers AT&T) and send.
Essentionally it sends the text message over email.
On the n-gage QD, I select messaging and new message "Text Message" but there is no way to force it to allow email address entry. Even if the address book entry contains an email address, it defaults to phone number entered. If address book has no phone number, the address entry won't event appear.
Does the QD support sms-to-email like other nokia phones? There does not seem to be anywhere in the QD to enter an email server number.
Cheers.
For email on the N-Gage QD, you need to define an email mailbox like on a PC; user name / password, incoming POP3 or IMAP4 server, outgoing SMTP server.
Then you need to configure the mailbox to use the operator's [GPRS] Internet Access Point (IAP) for the mailbox.
It doesn't have a SMS-to-email like on your 6800 as far as I've detected.
Most operators allow also putting an email address in the To: -field for an MMS, so that can also serve as a workaround for sending (but is more expensive to send than an SMS).
Yes, this is the alternative. Unfortunately as you pointed out, it's expensive compared to SMS.
Anyone else have an alternative? Software upgrade or any utility available?
Hey y'all.
On AT&T/Cingular, I can send an SMS to 0000, then for the text, I put something like this:
[email][email protected][/email] # Hi bob. You are a loser, etc.
But looking on another forum elsewhere other forum somewhere it looks like the "#" might not be needed.
I tried it before, and it did work...
The 0000 is a gateway. I think probably the email gateway. Perhaps if you call your cell provider...
I really wish someone wrote a little program that would do this automatically...
