If you're having trouble posting to a moblog and you're a Cingular Wireless subscriber, it appears that Cingular is having severe problems with its GPRS e-mail service or....it has deliberately disabled e-mail for all its subscribers to encourage use of MMS.
This seems quite unbelievable, but I have a more detailed report on my Reiter's Wireless Data Web Log.
If any of you have more information, please let me know.
We have a test account with Cingular and were able to post via email from our Nokia 3660 this past weekend. However, it is configured to use our own smtp/pop account. This is the preferred way to moblog with Cingular due to the fact that their MMSC greatly reduces the size and resolution of photos sent via MMS. MMS is the way to send picts from phone to phone but definetely not the best way to post phone to web. MMS messages also often fail to render in Microsoft Outlook due to it's inabilty to properly via inline attatchments. I wonder if future mail clients will properly handle mms messages.
