Pushin40,
I am a bit puzzled with part of your post. When I configure my software, it is set to dial into my ISP. The cell phone is nothing more than a modem. So I have no problem reaching the SMTP outgoing email servers.
Not to take issue because I believe there is a good message there. I was wondering if you could elaborate on how or why someone would have to connect any other way than a direct dial-in to their ISP from their cell phone.
Thanks very much for your input.
I think it is mostly a problem when you dial in on say Earthlink and try to send mail on Verizon servers. They don't like that.
CP, you say the setting appear the same as receive? They are usually different for incoming and outgoing servers. Such as pop.verizon.net and smtp.verizon.net.
As for bluetooth options? I don't know, they come out with new devices everyday. It has been around a few years but is just starting to gain a little popularity. Range is going to pretty much be 30 feet max. In the networking world this is called a PAN, personal area network. You have LAN, local area network which might cover your house or office and then you have WAN, wide area network which might be used to link corporate offices in NYC, LA and Dallas. PANs are small and as the name says, personal(mostly).
