Technology Issues - iPhone and email? Les - July 02, 2009 - 10:49 AM Post subject: iPhone and email?
I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem? I have a legit unlocked iPhone from Australia, 16GB 3g and generally speaking has been working fine. I have updated to the V.3 software and yes had some issues but Apple in Australia sorted me out. The problem is until 1 month ago (before the upgrade) I had always been able to access my email over the wifi network (chinese email account) After doing nothing different this no longer works-ever! so I have enrolled to a cellular data scheme (China mobile) but still no good. Does anyone have a simple "do this then..." as to how the phone settings should be? I would appreciate any help or direction as to where I can take the phone and have done if needed. Thanks!

If thats setup, then you can go online using GPRS (EDGE)

Thanks for that, I can now get the internet but unfortunately still can't access emails. I guess it must just be the way my account is setup or information entered. Will continue to try, thanks for the help!

try deleting your email accounts on your iPhone and then readding them.
perhaps something got bolloxed during the upgrade.

I am having the same problem! Let me know if you find a solution. Also, do find the cellular data plan from China Mobile to be very expensive? I have been using wifi but I am thinking of switching to the data plan.

Data plan is expensive unless you get a plan (套餐)
They have plans from 5rmb up to 100RMB
The 50RMB one is usually adequate unless you do a lot of internet on the go.
Do not use GPRS without a plan, your bill will sky rocket. I had a bill of 1000RMB for a weekend away (sans plan).
And a friend had a bill for 16,000RMB!
