Better Than Cox Email

The other day I wrote a blog post about how to get your Cox e-mail on your phone. Tonight I came up with a better idea; quit using Cox for e-mail. They have great service on other things like cable and Internet. However, they drop the ball on e-mail availability from my cell phone.

Tonight I signed up for a new Gmail account. It's great because I can easily get it from my cell phone without having to do any tricks to make it happen. Cox is history!

Getting Your Email From Cox ISP On Your Cell Phone

A frustration I've had with my Cox Internet service is that they disabled my ability to check my e-mail from my cell phone's Internet program. The other day I had a hunch that, when I checked into it, turned out to be correct. This has been helpful even though I've had mixed results.

I logged onto my Cox account online and found where I can have my e-mail forwarded by entering an e-mail address. I'm a Sprint user so I have a Sprint e-mail address attached to my phone automatically.

Since I entered that address, I now get my e-mail forwarded to my phone. The reason I say "with mixed results" is that sometimes only part of the e-mail comes through and other times I see that I got an e-mail, but can't open it.

Until the new iPhone comes out, (and until I can afford to cancel my Sprint service) this will have to do.

I hope this is somehow helpful for anybody who was burned when Cox stopped this service.

Another option I plan to do, but haven't is to change to a Gmail account. That would solve everything... especially if I end up ditching Cox.

Have a good one,

Dennis
