Re: Fax to Email Service - Opinions Wanted
Virtual numbers are different. The fax service works with your current number. (no need for second number) VT intercepts the fax transmission in route before your phone rings.
Yes it would still work with virtual numbers the same if you wanted to add one and/or use one for that purpose. |

It looks like it can be turned on anytime from the new CP. I have an icon to activate it with various options. More faxes higher price. I assume it works. Haven't tried it.
If not on the new cp PM one of the Vt reps that float around here. They might switch you over.
Edit: Noticed in the detail that outgoing fax is done via web. What do you upload a document or something then it sends it. Anybody got a screen shot of what this looks like? |

1 edit | Is the fax via email working? I have signed up and tried to send a fax. The fax was not received and I have not received any kind of report back that it was successful or not. The control panel shows that 0 faxes have been sent.
Edit: Apparently one went through. The recipient said it is just three pages of boxes. It was sent as a 2 page PDF I guess with a cover page as the first page. This has shown up in the control panel as 3 used. |

Yes it would still work with virtual numbers the same if you wanted to add one and/or use one for that purpose. I called in about tying a virtual number to the email to fax and was told they can't do it. I have a fax line with VT that I can't use and I had to forward all incoming faxes to another service. Have been paying nearly 10 bucks each month for a year now.
I was hoping I was going to be able to save by changing the fax number to a virtual number and then having faxes come to that, but no luck. |

I signed up for the service and it broke my voice service. People who called me or I called could hear me but I could not hear them. I spoke to Carmin Clark in support and he was clueless on the problem. Finally I cancelled the the fax2email service and my voice service worked again. I do not recommend it..... |

I hope I am wrong or I will be canceling.
