Accessing Telkom SMTP from Cell C?

[Fudzy]

Hi there,

A colleague has bought himself a Galaxy TAB and has one of those Cell C 5gb x 12 chips. What he wants to do though is access his TelkomSA mail via the tablet. Its not allowing him to connect to the smtp server though he says it does on MTN & Vodacom. Is there an alternative address he can use?

Not happening. Most SMTPs check the connection type being used.

The only way around it is to use the SMTP of the connection ISP your using (Cell C), or alternatively using a password protected SMTP...those usually don't check connection type.

he says it does on MTN & Vodacom. Is there an alternative address he can use?

They might've added an exception, but I kinda doubt it.
