Re: How do I accept faxes to my FPL ?

I don't receive many faxes, so I don't have enough data to recognize any sort of pattern. But I'm fairly certain that the last one which was attempted 3 times was not their fault as they are a large and busy office that sends many faxes every day. Does anyone else reliably receive faxes on a regular...

Re: How do I accept faxes to my FPL ?

The last attempted fax, the sender tried 3 times to send it to me and it failed each time.

Different senders have gone through in the past, but others have failed.

Re: How do I accept faxes to my FPL ?

Any suggestions on how to improve the reliability of receiving faxes? Sometimes it seems to work great, the incoming fax will be detected by the FPL system after 1-2 rings and I'll get the PDF email shortly thereafter. Other times, the system does not answer the fax call and it simply rings through ...

519-538-xxxx covered?

I get insufficient funds when I call it.

Kincardine, Ontario not free to call?

Did a search for Kincardine in the forums but nothing turned up.

Just wanted to confirm it is not a glitch that calling Kincardine (519 area code) is not included?

Thank you.

Re: How do I accept faxes to my FPL ?

Can I get some suggestions on how to make receiving faxes more reliable (talking about fax to email, not a fax hooked up to my ATA). Are there specific follow me settings that need to be used?

I'm trying to receive a fax from someone but it is not going through.

Re: How do I accept faxes to my FPL ?

Tried to do a search for "fax" but nothing comes up. However, just from browsing I see that you need to have your voice mail to email settings set to FORWARD and NOT copy to get the faxes to be received.

How do I accept faxes to my FPL ?

It seems to only randomly treat an incoming fax call as a fax.

How can I make sure that my free phone line will accept a fax?

Do I need to have forwarded settings set a certain way? Thank you.

Re: Adding Google's 411 to dail plan

Hey guys,


just a heads up, google is shutting down their 411 service as of Nov 12.

Microsoft still has Bing 411 for the mean time.

1-800-Bing-411
(1-800-246-4411)

Re: Dropped Calls - Are you experiencing random dropped calls?

Just had another dropped call. I don't use my FPL heavily, maybe once -twice per day but when I do, it seems that there is a 50% chance the call will disconnect at some random interval. All of my disconnects have been with an outbound call (only because I don't receive incoming calls to this line). ...
