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.

·  date delivered,

·  the duration in seconds,

·  the charge,

·  and your remaining balance.

Key benefits

·  No fixed fax lines required, free up your phone lines.

 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.

2. This service relies on receiving email in Plain Text format, encoded    as Mime, Base64.  Certain free email platforms such as Gmail    append HTML encoded advertisements to the body of the email    that could cause faxes to be rendered incorrectly.

3. This service is fully compatible with all Microsoft, Lotus Notes and    Groupwise email clients, customers are warned that this service is    however NOT compatible with Thunderbird, Applemail &    IncrediMail.
