lost-gaijin · **Softbank Prepid Sim Card in German Cellphone.... -** 30-12-2009, 13:20

I have a Cellphon that can use UMTS (Sony Ericsson K800i) so I thought I could just get a prepaid SIM Card, insert it and use my phone in Japan...
Well, I got the card and I can make and receive calls. What does not work is SMS and Mails. My phone tells me it requires setup to be able to send or receive Mails...
The Softbank guys have no idea how to handle this problem. (In Tokyo I was told it is company policy to give Softbank Sim Cards only to people who already have a Softbank phone... Well, in the countryside they were merely concerned, that the card might not fit.)
The Sony Ericsson Homepage is not really helpful eigher. There is one setup download available, that aledgedly does it all by itself... which of course doesn't work. So I have to enter the settings manually.
Does anyone know Softbanks Connection type (pOP3 or IMPA4?), incoming server and outgoing server?
