Hi all - having a bit of a skirmish with the nice lads at O2 about a wonderful new feature of MS's latest exchange server - its called always up to date (AUTD) and basically its an add on for activesync so a user on a smartphone/pda connected to the web can collect emails -
the way it works is this:
user can normally connect via hot spot or gprs and then connect to exchange server and download any new emails, this is all fine except u have no way of knowing if you have any new emails to collect so it could be a waste of time/money.
The way AUTD works is this (and its pretty cool) a new email will come in - the server will see it enter the inbox of the mobile user it will then send a SMS msg to the smartphone/pda device and tell it that new mail is waiting - the device will then start downloading the new mail
So to set this up i need to figure out what details to give my server so it can send this sms to my XDAII and the only info i have to enter is "SMTP DOMAIN" - so i assume i need to enter in something like
mymobileno@my.provider.co.uk - well im with O2 and they didnt have a clue what i was on about so im wondering if anyone here uses it in the UK and what settings they have
Thanks
