'DNS Resolution Error' on my mobile phone

I've got a Nokia mobile phone and am a Vodafone prepay customer.
Until today I've never had any problems accessing my Xtra mail account on my mobile phone. However, when I tried to check my emails when I was in town today I got the following message "An error occured while trying to get the page: Http 113 - The requested address can not be found (DNS Resolution Error).

I am still getting the error message when I try to access my email account. I'm also getting the same error message on other but not all websites.

I've cleared the cache but can't think of any other settings to adjust,

Is anyone else having this problem. Or can someone advise how I can fix the problem?
Thanks

Helen

Can you enter your own DNS settings? If so use 8.8.8.8

not sure whut vdfn is. phone customer support and ask.

else set "automaically resolve DNS", clear any you have (even if they were auto assigned)

8.8.8.8 is googles DNS address which will never go down, so many redundancies built in so google never dies.

When all else fails on a phone, try a forced reset by removing the battery while the phone is on, wait a minute or two then put it back in.
It may not help with this, but it doesn't hurt to do occasionally.

Turn the phone of before you take the battery out if you have a smartphone. It'll make no difference too the phone but lots of apps get corrupted by not shutting the phone down.

Have you installed an app recently that stopped the phone from working?

i'll second that. not powering down before popping the battery CAN corrupt your SIM card (and there aint sh*t that vodafone et all will do about it) not to mention the potential risk to firmware and software and memory read-writes...

as far as google goes - if i access via an ipv4, i can't reach any google servers, youtube, gmail etc, (and best - their damn ad server!) so couldn't get their DNS...

I couldn't find anywhere on the phone where I could enter DNS settings but out of the blue I was able to access my 'xtramail'. I have no idea why the phone was playing up and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't happen again.

Thank you to everyone who offered suggestions as to how the problem could be fixed

Yes, happens to me all the time. Some times it sorts itself out other times it dosent. Its not email I loose. Just cant get into some sites. I am also on Vodafone prepay and have a Nokia smartphone. WARNING - do not update the Nokia software for your phone. I have lost all email access since doing this and am still trying to sort it out. I did a back up on my phone before I updated but it dosent backup software. And once you upgrafe your software, as a general rule you cant go back to the old version.
