How To Resolve Common Problems That Arise While Setting Up SBCGlobal Email On Apple iPhone?

Do you want to use your SBCGlobal email on your iPhone? Well, you can certainly do that as the iPhone has an intuitive email app, which allows you to configure any email with it. However, it is not going to be a straightforward process, as there are certain steps that need to be performed in order to hook up SBCGlobal email with iPhone. Many users have tried configuring SBCGlobal email on the iPhone, but they come across multiple issues. Let’s find out as to what those issues are:

Unable to connect using SSL

If you receive an error message that you couldn’t connect using SSL at the time of setting up SBCGlobal on iPhone, then go through below steps to fix the issue:

1. If you don’t want to set up your account without using ‘SSL’ then tap ‘No’ in the prompt that you see on the screen. As you tap ‘No’, tap ‘Save’.

2. Select your email account that you would like to configure, and then scroll down the list to find ‘SMTP’ once you find ‘SMTP’, tap it.

3. You will now see the ‘Primary’ Server’ option, so tap this option.

4. Now, turn on the SSL settings followed by tapping on ‘Server Port’ to switch the port number to ‘465’. As you do so, tap ‘Done’.

5. Select ‘AT&T SMTP Server’ now followed by tapping ‘Off’ to turn the server on. Once you do so, Tap ‘Done’.

6. You need to tap ‘Account Info’ now followed by ‘Advanced Option’.

7. Turn on the option labeled as ‘Incoming use of SSL settings’.

8. Tap ‘Account info’ now and then tap ‘Done’.

How to change port settings on Apple iPhone?

When choosing the right port settings, you will have to deal with a number of variables. A firewall is installed in Apple iPhone and Email servers. Therefore, the firewall installed in both places will decide whether the port settings that you’ve chosen will allow you to send and receive emails or not.

To change port settings on Apple iPhone, follow these steps:

1. On your iPhone, go to ‘Home screen’ and then, tap ‘Settings’.

2. Then, tap ‘Contacts, Calendars, and Emails’ after selecting ‘Settings’ option.

3. To change the email account, tap on it and change it with the one you would like to configure.

4. Tap ‘SMTP’ followed by selecting ‘SMTP Server’ that you wish to change.

5. Tap the correct server port field followed by entering ‘SMTP’ port, which will be like 25, 80, and 3535. You can also select ‘465’ if the SSL settings are already enabled.

With that, your two most common issues at the time of configuring SBCGlobal email on Apple iPhone will be solved. If you are still not able to receive emails in your SBCGlobal email that is configured on iPhone, nor are you able to send any, then you must get in touch with SBCGlobal email support providers to find the right solution to the problem.
