Verizon Wireless V620 User Manual page 57

Most send mail servers are not accessible from various connections to the Internet. You usually have to be connected to
the e-mail provider's network to access their mail server and most e-mail providers require authentication (a user name
and password). The reason everyone has had to resort to this is that without these measures, anyone can use a send
mail server to send massive amounts of unwanted junk e-mail. If you are having trouble sending e-mail - this also
includes replying and forwarding, and you are getting an error message similar to that shown above, then your send mail
server can not be accessed from the Verizon Wireless network.
For customers in this situation, Verizon Wireless has made available a send mail server that you can use in place of the
one you normally use. All that is required is that you have a TXT messaging capable Verizon Wireless phone or device and
TXT messaging service, visit www.vtext.com and establish a profile there by selecting "Join Up" and completing the form.
You will be asked to enter your 10 digit mobile number. A TXT message will be sent to your handset or device and will
be used to establish your password. Most Verizon Wireless PC cards can receive TXT messages. Most Verizon Wireless
phones are TXT messaging capable. If you have a PC Card that is not capable of receiving TXT messages and you have a
Verizon Wireless phone that is, you can use it to establish a profile on www.vtext.com as described above.
To use the Verizon Wireless Send Mail Server, you will edit your existing Mail account settings and change the outgoing
mail server you are currently using. In place of your existing Send Mail Server, enter smtp.vzwmail.net, select "My server
requires authentication" and using the 10 digit mobile number you used to establish your profile on www.vtext.com,
enter the 10 digit mobile number@vzwmail.net (i.e. 6145551212@vzwmail.net) for the Send Mail Server user name. For
the password, use the password you established for www.vtext.com. You will also be able to use this server when
connected to the Internet from various providers eliminating the need to change this setting when you switch from being
connected to the Internet through Verizon Wireless and by various other means. If you need to know where these
settings normally are in your e-mail client, check with your e-mail provider. For your convenience the settings for Outlook
Express® are as follows:
Step 1: Select "Tools", "Accounts".
Step 2: Select your default account, then "Properties".
