Does Fongo/FPL provide Fax service?

Post by Cruizer3000 »

The only thing preventing my parents from switching from a traditional carrier is that they need to have a separate # for the fax machine. Does Fongo or FPL provide a service for fax machines? Or if not, are there any plans to bring that in the future? Thanks!

There are a few posts on faxing in this forum. They can be reviewed by entering "fax of faxing" in the search engine.

You can send faxes from Fonfo/FPL if you have an ATA with an unlock key. You can receive faxes to a FPL line that does not have an unlock key.

Sorry for the typo. Should read "fax or faxing".

Just type "faxing" in the "advanced search".

Here is another link:

you can RECEIVE a fax via FPL or Fongo just like a Voicemail and it's sent to your email, but for sending a fax the previous posts explains it well.
