Step-by-step receiving a fax

1.      A fax is sent to your personal fax number.

2.      The fax is received at the delivery station. It is then automatically converted to an E-mail and sent to your E-mail address.

3.      An E-mail arrives at your PC with a TIFF or PDF attachment.

Sending faxes

You no longer need to spend time standing at the fax machine trying to get that fax delivered simply E-mail it! You may add your normal attachments such as pictures, spreadsheets and word processor documents. On receipt of your email we convert it to a fax and send it to the number(s) specified.

 How it works - Sending a fax

1.      A fax is sent using E-mail and is addressed to the Recipient's fax number @ domain. The E-mail page will come out as a cover page with the attachment as the body of the fax.

2.      This E-mail is then turned into a real fax and sent through the gateway out over a Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN) to the Recipient.

3.      A fax arrives at the Recipient's Fax Machine.

 Known Issues - Sending a fax

1.      This service is not a replacement for a real-time fax, emails are stored and forwarded to fax server(s) for delivery, where they are processed, in order of priority. It can therefore not be compared to a real-time fax where a call is made the moment you press send.
