I checked the serial port wiring, and thats Ok.
Could it be because I've not registered the phone yet?
Huh... been there, done that, spent *ages* figuring it out. The main crux of the matter is: it's *not* a serial port! To be accurate, it's a serial port without the RS232 line level converter, which means it generates 0V/5V instead of -12V/+12V. This means that your PC serial port will not recognise it.
Mark isn't clear about which device he has.
My E3 doesn't require any level shifter to connect it to a PC serial port.
I believe the Emailer Plus does, but I don't own one of those.
