smtp relay setup

[LauraW]

hello, a classic nebie question here. i have lately been unable to page SMTP to verizon phone. when trying it just times out, so i had to sign up for smtp relay http://www.smtp.com which works fine and isn't expensive but still its not free and i feel i shouldn't be paying extra just to fix this problem. i am not sure what is causing this smtp failure. any ideas would help please.

thanks in advance!

If you would, run these two tests:

1) Open a command prompt

2) Type the following and hit enter:

telnet smtp-bb.vtext.com 25

Let me know what happens.

Also, in the same or a different command prompt, try:

telnet notepage.com 25

Let me know what happens.
