I use my phone to access the internet, is it possible to access my .mac mail on my cell phone. Also does anyone know where I can get a list of websites compatible with a cell phone?

geez, i do not think that is possible, yet, I could defenitally see it working later

I mean, if you have a web browser on your cell phone, then it will work... I dont see other ways though... like a cell phone program.

Yes you can. A friend of mine has a Sony-Ericson T68-m, which has POP mail access.

I have a nokia 3590, but I do not believe it has pop mail access.

Yes. I have a T68i using IMAP set to check my mac.com e-mail every 30 mins. The service is T-mobile. Works great.

Go to mail2wap.com (on the phone) - it gives any phone POP access.

What the nerd community most often fail to realize is that all features aren't equal. A well implemented and well integrated feature in a convenient interface is worth way more than the same feature implemented crappy, or accessed through a annoying interface.

Nope, I got mine new off of eBay; however, if you work at RadioShack, find out how the "FutureDial USB Data Cable" can be used with this phone please?

Thanks.

I'm working tonight so I can look into it for you. From what I know of the cables now you must have the software on your computer in order for it to properly communicate with the phone. The software is a separate package but it's a buy one get the other free deal. Also, it is currently only Winbloze compatible.

Can you use any service provider or does it have to be T-Mobile?

For the record, you can do this in the UK with a T68i on Orange (and probably the other networks I imagine). I have GPRS active too, just to make it really fast. The T68i is a great Mac phone.

YOu register a YahooMail! accnt, you set it to check your other POP mail. then you visit YahooMail on your cellphone and it'll display your msgs.
