GPRS Settings
The settings to use vary according which network you are on, and sometimes whether it is a contract or PAYG account.
Note that you can normally use any POP3 mail server to receive your mail, no matter how you connect to the internet, but you can only use the SMTP server provided by the ISP you are connecting through (in this case your mobile network) to send mail.
Some mail servers support authenticated SMTP, and you can use them, but we advise you to get it working as shown below before trying that!
No setting shown?
For Orange, there is no username or password - leave the fields blank. If you keep being bothered for a password, try a single space.
Where no setting is given, you can probably leave the field blank, and the server will assign what is needed. For POP3 email, the settings will normally depend on your email account, which may not be associated with the mobile network at all.
Disclaimer
These settings are supplied in good faith, but are hard to test, and we cannot guarantee that they are correct.

* The O2 PAYG GPRS APN restricts access, and some people find that they are able to use the O2 contract APN, which is not restricted.
