FYI Spy

I saw a newsmagazine show about all the different ways predators can access my children on the internet and bought this product as soon as I could. FYI-SPY allows me to keep my children safe and healthy while they enjoy the best of what the internet has to offer. Forget parental locks – the best way to watch your kid’s activities online is to watch them, something I can do now that I have FYI-SPY on my computer.

Alltel
CARRIER SMTP

To configure FYI-SPY to send email using the Alltel SMTP server, go to your Server Account settings (Accounts | Edit Accounts | Server). Enter the POP3 settings into the Incoming Server block as per your ISP's instructions, and enter the following for the Outgoing Mail Server:

    SMTP Server: mail.alltel.net
    Username: [leave blank]
    Password: [leave blank]


AT&T Wireless
CARRIER SMTP

  1. Make sure that after you establish your mMode account, you pick your own username so that you get a "username@mobile.att.net" style email address. This will be your second "@mobile.att.net" email address, the first being [your-cellphone-number]@mobile.att.net

  2. To configure FYI-SPY to send email using AT&T Wireless' SMTP server, go to your Server Account settings (Edit Accounts | Server). Enter the POP3 setting as per your ISP's instructions and enter the following for the Outgoing Mail Server:

    SMTP Server: smtp.attwireless.net
    Username: [your mMode username†]
    Password: [your mMode password]

  3. AT&T wireless will refuse authentication unless your email address is the same as your mMode email address:
    • In your FYI-SPY Account settings under Identity (Edit Account | Identity), enter your mMode email address, i.e. username@mobile.att.net
    • If you want replies to go your normal email address, enter it in the "Reply To" area (Edit Account | Identity | Reply To).

  4. AT&T Wireless appears to have quietly rolled out a new SMTP server. If the configuration in #2 and #3 above does not work for you, please try the following:

    SMTP Server: pdasmtp.attwireless.net
    Username: [leave blank, "optional"]
    Password: [leave blank, "optional"]

    NOTE: This server is only usable for devices on the ATTWS network, and according to some users it may no longer be available.

  5. Another new AT&T Wireless server appears to have been rolled out or it will be soon. If none of the above configurations work for you, please try the following:

    SMTP Server: smtp.mymmode.com
    Username: [leave blank, "optional"]
    Password: [leave blank, "optional"]

    NOTE: This server is only usable for devices on the ATTWS network.

† - do not append "@mobile.att.net"

NOTE: AT&T Wireless is supposedly coming to "end of life" due to the merger with Cingular. Here is a link to the Cingular settings.


Bell Mobility Canada
CARRIER SMTP

To configure FYI-SPY to send email using Bell Mobility Canada's server, go to your FYI-SPY server account settings (Edit Accounts | Server). Enter the following for the Outgoing Mail Server:

    SMTP Server: mail.1xbell.ca
    Username: [leave blank, "optional"]
    Password: [leave blank, "optional"]

    IMPORTANT: Tap the "More" button at the bottom of the screen.

    For POP3 Settings:

To configure FYI-SPY to send email using the PacBell SMTP server, go to your Server Account settings (Edit Accounts | Server). Enter the following for the Outgoing Mail Server:

    SMTP Server: smtpauth.sbcglobal.net
    Username: [your complete PacBell Email address]
    Password: [your PacBell Email password]


SprintPCS
CARRIER SMTP

  1. You need to set an EMAIL password for your Sprint account:
    • Go to Sprint's web site at www.sprintpcs.com.
    • Log onto your "My PCS" using your SprintPCS phone and password. Unless you have changed it, your password is the last four digits of your social security number.
    • Click on "My Personal Information" located along the left side of the screen.
    • Under "Passwords", click the "Modify" link to the right of "PCS Vision User Name". This will display your SprintPCS email address, and give you the option to change it if you wish. Write this address down for future reference, as you will need this information to setup FYI-SPY on your handheld device. If you have made changes, click "Submit" to get back to the "My Personal Information" screen. If no changes were made, click "Cancel" to get back to the "My Personal Information" screen.
    • Click on the "Modify" link to the right of "PCS Vision Password", just under "PCS Vision User Name".
    • Follow the on-screen prompts to enter a new password. Note that you will need to have your phone on and in a coverage area for the password to be reset on your phone. Write down your new password for future reference, as you will need this information to setup FYI-SPY on your handheld device.

  2. In your FYI-SPY Account settings under Server (Edit Accounts | Server), enter the following:

    SMTP Server: smtp.sprintpcs.com
    Username: [your Sprint username†]
    Password: [your EMAIL password you set in step 1 above]

  3. Sprint will refuse authentication unless your email address is the same as your SprintPCS Vision email address:
    • In your FYI-SPY Account settings under Identity (Edit Account | Identity), enter your SprintPCS email address, i.e. username@sprintpcs.com
    • If you want replies to go your normal email address, enter it in the "Reply To" area (Edit Account | Identity | Reply To).

† - Enter the portion of your SprintPCS Vision email address before the "@" here. So, if your address is myname@sprintpcs.com, your username would be myname. Some users have reported that entering only the username part does not work. If it does not work for you, please try entering your entire SprintPCS Vision email address.

Alternate information: Sprint complicates things by having three passwords - the account management password, the Vision password, and the e-mail password. This may help you: On the Sprint PCS web site, there is a 'Preferences' link by the compose msg function. Under the preferences, you can set up an e-mail password. THIS is the password that is assigned to the SMTP and POP servers in FYI-SPY.


T-Mobile (USA)
CARRIER SMTP

To configure FYI-SPY to send email using T-Mobile's SMTP server account, go to your Server Account settings (Edit Accounts | Server). Enter the POP3 setting as per your ISP's instructions and enter the following for the Outgoing Mail Server:

    SMTP Server: myemail.t-mobile.com
    Username: [your T-Mobile phone number followed by :1]
    Password: [your T-Mobile password (same as you use for web access to your T-Mobile account)]

If the information above does not work for you, first try leaving the password field blank. Also, an issue may be caused by recent changes to T-Mobile's services (reported by some users). It appears they may be requiring you to register with their mail server via their web site. This is not an issue, but it also has to mirror the server that you POP to in order to get mail. The process, is roughly to register with T-mobile, which includes entering your POP (incoming mail) server and password. Once this is done, you can then use their SMTP server, because you get an ID and password to enter in for the
myemail.t-mobile.com server. Rather than entering the username and password fields in FYI-SPY as it says above, the ID and password received from the registration process should be used. When a person configures their Treo in this manner, he/she needs to turn off the Alerts option on the T-mobile web site. If that is not done, text messages which are the same as the email notes are also sent to the device.


Verizon
CARRIER SMTP

To configure FYI-SPY to send email using Verizon's SMTP server, go to your Server Account settings (Edit Accounts | Server). Enter the POP3 setting as per your ISP's instructions and enter the following for the Outgoing Mail Server:

    SMTP Server: smtp.vzwmail.net
    Username: [your 10-digit cellphone number followed by @vzwmail.net]
    Password: [your password that you set up on the vtext.com webpage]

Verizon sometimes assigns you a temporary password in certain circumstances. Some people have reported that they can suddenly, without changing anything, no longer send Email messages using Verizon's SMTP server. A possible cause for this is that the temporary password has expired. You should go to the www.vtext.com web site to attempt resetting the password. If that fails, then you will need to contact Verizon support directly.

Also note: Sometimes it can take a few hours (as many as six in a few cases, up to 48 hours in rare cases) for the account and password to get set up and become active in Verizon's systems. If your attempts to use their servers don't work right away, wait a few hours and try again.
