From a VIRGIN MPX220.
Here are the instructions I created for syncing a brand new mobile phone with an Exchange 2003 server, and setting up auto-sync using a TMobile data service & SMS service.
I STRONGLY recommend that you subscribe to the unlimited GPRS internet plan ($20/mo) and the unlimited SMS ($10/mo) if you configure your phone like this.
Step ONE - Configuring Internet.
================================
Start -> 8.Settings -> 9.More -> 2.Data Connections.
Highlight "PDA Connect" under 'Internet Connection:'
Hit MENU -> 1.Edit Connections -> 4.GPRS Connections
Hit MENU -> 1.Add
Add the following settings to the new connection screen.
Description: TMobile GPRS
Connects to: The Internet
Access Point: internet2.voicestream.com
Username: <leave blank>
Password: <leave blank>
Primary DNS: <leave blank>
Secondary DNS: <leave blank>
IP address: <leave blank>
Hit DONE (returns you to GPRS Connections screen)
Hit DONE (returns you to Connections screen)
Hit DONE (returns you to Data Connections screen)
Under 'Internet Connection:' select "TMobile GPRS"
Hit DONE (returns you to Settings screen)
Hit DONE (returns you to main Start menu)
Hit 4.Internet Explorer
Hit MENU -> 6.Options
Highlight 'Connection' and hit SET (the blue button)
Go to "Select network:" and select "The Internet"
Hit DONE (returns you to the options screen)
Hit DONE (returns you to the Favorites screen).
Hit HOME (returns you to the Smartphone main screen.)
Step TWO - Confuring the mobile service on the server.
======================================================
Open up Exchange System Manager
Expand your organization
Expand global settings
Click on Mobile Services
Select ACTION (menu) then NEW then MOBILE CARRIER
Call the Carrier: TMobile
Make the SMTP domain: @tmomail.net
Click OK.
You should see a new mobile carrier icon.
Exit the Exchange System Manager.
Step THREE - Configuring Server ActiveSync on the MPX220.
=========================================================
Hit START -> 5.ActiveSync
Hit MENU -> Options -> 3.Server Settings -> 4.Connection
Enter the following settings:
username : <your network user ID>
password: <your network password>
domain: <your network domain>
server name: <The public FQDN of your mail server>
SSL: should be checked if you use it. You should.
Hit DONE (takes you back to Server Settings screen)
**NOTES.
Your username is your netork ID. This is often "nick" or "npoore". This is what you use
to login to your PC every day.
Your password is your network password.
Your domain is your network NetBios domain. This is usually "company" and not "company.com" or "company.local".
Your FQDN (fully qualified domain name" is usually something like "mail.company.com"
Hit 1.Inbox
Check the "Sync Inbox with a server" box.
Set "Include past:" to 2 weeks (or whatever you choose)
Set "Limit email size to" 5K (or whatever you choose)
Hit DONE (takes you back to Server Settings screen)
Hit 2.Calendar
Check the "Sync Calendar with a server" box.
Set "Include past:" to 6 months (or whatever you prefer)
Hit DONE (takes you back to Server Settings screen)
Hit 3.Contacts
Check the "Sync Contacts with a server" box.
Hit DONE (takes you back to Server Settings screen)
Hit DONE (takes you back to the Sync screen)
Hit DONE (take you back to the Main ActiveSync screen)
Hit SYNC
You should see:
Synchnorize with the server
- Connecting
- Looking for changes
- Synchronizing Calendar
- Synchronizing Contacts
- Synchronizing Messages
Ignore any prompts about keeping your phone up to date.
It may take two or three sync attempts to get your phone fully synced with the server.
Once you have a fully synced phone...
Hit MENU -> Options -> 1.Mobile Schedule.
Change the "Peak time sync:" to "When new items arrive".
Hit DONE (takes you back to the Sync screen)
Hit DONE (take you back to the Main ActiveSync screen)
SYNC the phone.
Once you have done this, then the phone will want to know what your mobile SMS address is.
Hit MENU -> Options -> 3.Server Settings -> 4.Connection
You will need to SCROLL DOWN through all the settings.
You will see some NEW options at the bottom of the list.
Address device using: SMTP Address
Service Provider name: TMobile (it pulled this from the server)
Device Phone number: wxxxyyyzzzz (it should auto-fill this for you)
Text Message address: wxxxyyyzzzz@tmomail.net
Hit DONE (takes you back to the Sync screen)
Hit DONE (take you back to the Main ActiveSync screen)
SYNC the phone.
Now, in my case, I have signed up to the TMobile website login, and changed my SMS email
address. (something like "nick@tmomail.net".)
Because of this, I put "nick@tmomail.net" into the "Text Message Address" field.
THis is all that it should take.
Note, that this is going to send you a LOT of SMS messages (which will be automatically deleted by the phone when they arrive.) I strongly advise that you sign up for the unlimited SMS plan, which is $10 per month.
Phew, that was a lot.
Let me know if anyone has questions.

Edit by Slacker: To save new users time - If you are a T-Mobile customer you will probably need to follow these instructions before this will work for you. Or if you followed these instructions and still don't get notifications then apply this fix. Additionally these instructions will work for any 2003 device, not just the MPx220.
