DNS Texas supports many DirectPush or ActiveSync mobile devices. This particular article discusses how to setup an iPhone with the DNS Texas Microsoft Exchange 2003 mail servers. In this example, an AT&T iPhone "3G" version 3 is used. Your screen shots may vary slightly.

* Remember, directpush services may lower your battery life. We recommend you have an 'unlimited' data plan when using this service or overage charges may apply.
