1219636	2011-07-28 05:43:00	Hi All. I am out of my depth here, (so what's new?), so I am looking for help. Can a cell phone 'talk' to a computer e-mail & vice versa? I believe it s so. But what does one need to do so. As always, in little words please. Thanks. PJ.	Poppa John (284)

1219640	2011-07-28 06:31:00	Depends on what you define as expensive I guess.	Alex B (15479)
1219641	2011-07-28 06:49:00	depends what you get as well, some of the low end android (Galaxy 5503's are about $300, compared to top end ones they are cheap. What phone have you got? Check the manual and see if it specifies email. Depending on what one you have, could find a way to do it	The Error Guy (14052)

With your current email / ISP settings 2. The / Your ISP may or may not block emails you send from the cell (like they can, if you send emails from a computer to another computer). If the account youre sending from, isnt the same ISP you're currently with The R109 (Its just a 3G cell / not a smartphone), I have has an email option on it, that's what I used to send emails while I was in Chch. (From Telecom (but I used my Telstra email details to a Telstra email). However, when I was was Xnet, it blocked me from sending emails out, BUT i could receive emails on the cell	Speedy Gonzales (78)

Hence the question & learning curve. PJ	Poppa John (284)

As I have said, the cell we have at the moment bs one that Maryann uses to check up on me when I am at home & she is out & about. We need to replace it. Very soon, one of us is going to have to be in Hamilton for a couple of weeks whilst the other is at home. ISP is Orcon but we don't want to be on any 'Plan". would prefer pay as you go, so to speak. This is only going to be a short term need. Otherwise just a better quality cell phone would be sufficient. PJ	Poppa John (284)
1219645	2011-07-28 07:40:00	You dont have to be on a plan (to send emails from a cell). The cellphone I use is a prepaid. All I did was configure the email settings on it, and it worked. I could send and receive emails on / from it. Might help if you tell us what the cellphone is, Then we should be able to tell you if it supports email. If it doesnt support email, just buy a prepaid that supports email. And it should work	Speedy Gonzales (78)
