Hello Bobby,

I do not have any settings for suncom I do have the settings for T-mobile I am sure these will be of help to you. Please be advised that you will not be able to access your e-mail directly the only way you will be able to access your e-mail is through your web browser log in page. I hope that I have been of help to you if you have any other questions please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you for your question.
