You problem sending mail is probably due to your provider who is handling your email account. When you send mail you connect to a what is called an SMTP server. Due to excessive SPAM, most providers only let a computer on their network send mail through the SMTP server. So when you are at home on your cable or DSL modem, or when you are dialed up to your providers network, you are allowed to send mail. When you use the cell phone to connect to the internet, your provider prevents you from using their SMTP server as you appear "foreign" to them.
Since you use Verizon, they have a SMTP service available to you, but you have to know your vtext.com password (sign up on vtext.com if you haven't already). Once you have your vtext password:
SMTP Server: smtp.vzwmail.net
User name: [9-digit phone number]@vzwmail.net for example [email protected]
Password:Your www.vtext.com password
I suggest you write down your current smtp server setting in your email program before changing them to use Verizon. That way, when you go back home, you can easily get back, although the Verizon server will most likely continue to work.
