AOL on Orange

[Guest gadget1]

I've no doubt opened myself up to a barrage of insults and condemnation even admitting to this......but is there any way of picking up my AOL e-mail through my SPV???? Orange tell me the servers aren't compatable??

:shock:

From what I remember from others asking, no it's not possible :)

It is possible. But you have to use WAP.

Go to your AOL account on your PC, goto keyword= MOBILE.

Click on 'AOL on your mobile'

Then 'sign up now'

You input the details of your phone etc...

You will need to enter a 4 digit number password.

It will then give you a link, which you type in as a favorite on your SPV.

Then when you click it, enter 4 digit code, read e-mails. EASY!!!

Hope this helps. This is the only way it's possible!

P.S Don't bother setting up your wap address book doesn't seem to work on SPV.

I just called to cancel my AOL account, as i'd only installed it for the free dialup access until i got my cable back. The conversation with the cancellation line went something along the lines of:

AOL: Hi how can i help you

Me: Hi i'd like to cancel my account please

AOL: OK fine, i see you signed up last month and used your 180 hours within a week, thats fantastic, but you seem to have suddenly stopped using it?

Me: Yes, i only signed up for the free access until i got my cable back

AOL: You only signed up for the free hours?

Me: Yes

AOL: Oh, ok. Heres your cancellation number

Me: Cheers, bye

He seemed hurt that i'd been "abusing" their service :)

I think they just became confused when your response was not listed in their customer conversation manual.

Maybe they are just unfamiliar with the concept of honesty? :wink:

I used to be on AOL for their unlimited package - then phoned up to cancel when I got broadband.

When asked why I was cancelling they obviously tried to sell me their broadband package – I declined saying that the package I was going to was cheaper (£25 per month). The CS rep then told me that nobody can do broadband that cheap and that AOL were the cheapest around – “plus you get exclusive content!”. :?

Methinks AOL tell their staff nothing about the technology, concepts, market and competitors – “just stick to the script”.

I used to use AOL for free access (did a few times) when i had win 95, but wasn't supplied with a CD. I couldn't thereofre install dial up networking for a normal ISP account, but as AOL used its own system i could use them - everytime i called up to cancell they would offer me another month free - went on for three of four months before they would let me cancel outright with no more free months~!

Well I've been with AOL for about 8 years with no complaints - obviously my lack of experience in the matter! My only issue was with not being able to collect my e-mail when mobile, but thanks to the wealth of knowledge in this forum, this has been solved :)

I am not worthy ;)
