Hi,

Was hoping someone would be bale to help me.

I recently purchased a new iphone4 from vodafone. I have set up my email account which is with ntlworld. I am able to recieve emails fine, however i am not able to send any. I have entered the correct smpt settings as far as i know. smtp.ntlworld.com....

Anyone else having issues with this or got it working fine?

Thanks

Try using Vodafone's SMTP server - smtp.vodafone.net

ntlworlds smtp server doesn't accept connections from devices outside of the Virgin Media network.

Thanks for the help. Would i have to use a username and password for this? don't know if i have a vodafone one....

Thanks

Shouldn't have to

hmm, doesn't seem to be working, stuck on verifying at the moment, i'll expect to error in a min or 2.

Any other ideas?

Thanks

Hmm, very odd. I don't suppose you have a GMail account do you? I think you can use the Google SMTP server if you have a gmail account.

Exactly what i thought too. the strange thing is, is that it worked fine on my old blackberry.

It is definitely smtp.vodafone.net. Is there a specific port number i have to use?

You could try these vodafone SMTP servers:

Email SMTP server: send.vodafone.net
Email SMTP server: smtp.vizzavi.co.uk
Alt email SMTP server: mail.vizzavi.co.uk
Alt email SMTP server: mail.vodafone.net
Alt email SMTP server: 212.183.156.229
Alt email SMTP server: 62.213.128.092

I believe it's normal for the verifying to take a minute or two. As it tries an SSL connection first. It should then prompt you to connect without SSL then it will work. My friend uses send.vodafone.net on her iPhone.

I had this problem the other day when trying to send an e-mail on a 3g connection rather than the wi fi I had been using at home.

You can actually set up more than one SMTP server so have all options covered so it can send e-mails no matter where you are or what type of connection you are using.

I set mine up with the Primary SMTP server being the one I have set up on outlook at home and the 'Other SMTP server as smtp.o2.co.uk (but use your own network's SMTP instead, obviously).

It did take a while to varify the settings and then I did have to got through the 'connect without SSL' option, but once done I can send and receive e-mails just how I would want to .

Hope that helps in addition ot the other useful info that has already been posted.

Have you tried smtp.virginmedia.com, as I just had a look at mone also on a iPhone4 and that is what I have the smtp for that email account set as.

for Vodafone you need to use send.vodafone.co.uk
if it aint .co.uk it will be .net or .com
