2 weeks in Switzerland - best option for GPRS and voice usage?

AndreA · **[OrangeClick.ch] How to get a email @orangemail.ch -** 05-01-2008, 16:13

Eureka!

Thanks to bourbonkiller ( http://www.prepaidgsm.net/forum/show...5&postcount=17 ) I found the way to get and USE an email @orangemail.ch by POP3/Imap.

Well, if you are a customer OrangeClick.ch you can get an address @orangemail.ch only registering yourself on the Orange Mobile Portal (you have to use the wap service, APN click). In the mainpage click on "Mail" link and get your @orangemail.ch email address.

Then visit the main page of Mail Service, you will find "Setting options". Inside that part you have to look for the change password (when you register the account you DO NOT have one! So you can't check that email outside the Mobile Portal), digit your password and wait for the confirmation SMS.

Then you can use that address via POP3/IMAP

You can't use the webmail service (so strange) but using the POP3/Imap service (POP3 = pop.orangemail.ch , IMAP = imap.orangemail.ch) you can check the email outside the portal

Important! For login via POP3/IMAP you have to use your OClick number and NOT the alias email (ex.: you activated the address provaprova@orangemail.ch on your OClick number 0781111111, you have to use the login 0781111111@orangemail.ch and NOT provaprova@orangemail.ch )

I'm in CH for 3 weeks and Orangeclick at 2.5F/MB seemed like the best deal for a data connection. I was unable to configure my phone (unlocked HTC Kaiser with Windows Mobile 6) using the manual instructions at https://www.orangeclick.ch/orange/es...apGeneralPopup so I want the shop where I bought my card and then the central shop at Hardturmstrasse 161, Zurich. They took my phone to the back and someone introduced himself as from the technical department and explained that it is a known issue that HTC WinMo devices don't work with orangeclick.

If anyone knows a work around I'd love to hear. Otherwise let this be a warning to anyone else who finds this thread. I can't find much else online about configuring orangeclick GPRS.

I have an OrangeClick SIM card with the free month of Internet (although I think what they really mean is that they are waiving the 5 CHF / month fee to get the reduce 2.50 CHF / MB tariff.)

I have tried to register an @orangeclick.ch e-mail address to take advantage of the free sending/receiving to this address. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get it work using the instructions in this thread. I e-mailed Orange, and they replied that this feature was only available for regular Orange SIMs and not OrangeClick - however, it seems that other people in this thread have managed to get it to work?

When I try to log in at wap.orange.ch it won't work. I tried creating an account at www.orange.ch and it won't let me since I have an orangeclick SIM and number.

Anyone who got this to work have suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

I'm in Switzerland for 3 weeks and at 2.5F/MB orangeclick seemed like the best deal for data. Voice and SMS worked perfectly. However I was unable to configure data on my unlocked HTC Kaiser running Windows Mobile 6 using the manual instructions on their website. I took my phone to the shop where I bought the SIM and then to the big Orange office at Hardturmstrasse 161, Zurich. There the folks in front took it to someone from the "technical department" who tried to configure it and then told me there is a known issue with HTC WinMo devices. He said orangeclick data works fine with more common devices.

If you have managed to get data working on a WinMo device please offer advice. I get the error "Connecting" ... "Connecting" ... "Cannot connect. Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your ..." in a series of bubbles. If I use the MMS settings the data connection seems to connect but IE doesn't get past "Locating...". I tried MMS + proxy 192.168.10.2:8080, but that didn't work either.

Good luck!
