Faxing with VoIP, Can I do it?
Faxing with VoIP, Can I do it?
Copyright © 2006 Jason Christensen
Faxing with VoIP can be slightly different than the
traditional Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
Not all VoIP providers offer Fax capabilities and some
charge extra for this feature. Some VoIP adapters or
ATA's as they are called allow fax capabilities by
simply connecting your fax to the device. If your ATA
supports fax capabilities you should not need a second
line to send faxes. Beware that unusual amounts of
faxing can violate your Terms of Service agreement with
some providers and force you to upgrade to their business
service, I think the normal user should not have a problem
with this. Some providers require you to purchase a second
number for your faxing needs and charge a minimal amount
for that service usually around $5 or $10 per month.
VoIP Provider Fax Information:
· Vonage: With a Vonage Small Business account,
you get a dedicated fax line with 500 local and long
distance minutes of outgoing fax service to the US
(including Puerto Rico) and Canada, plus unlimited
incoming faxes each month. Residential account you
get a Vonage fax line for $9.99 per month with a
one-time $9.99 activation fee. You get 250 minutes
of local and long distance outgoing fax service plus
unlimited incoming faxes each month. Extra outgoing
fax minutes are only 3.9 cents per minute.
· AT&T Call Vantage: All of their packages offer
some level of Fax support. The $19.99 package includes
one line for both faxing and calls with unlimited local
service. The $29.99 package includes one line for both
faxing and calls with unlimited US & Canada service.
The $29.99 package includes one line for both faxing
and calls with unlimited US & Canada service. The $49.99
2-line package includes one line for calls & Faxes with
unlimited US & Canada service and the second line has
500 minutes available for either fax or voice.
· Packet 8: According to their website there is
no formal Faxing capabilities. I would assume the modem
could be connected to the ATA just like a standard phone.
There Terms of Service does not limit the use of a fax
machine however it does not guarantee functionality either.
· 1 Touch Tone: According to their website there
is no formal Faxing capabilities. I would assume the
modem could be connected to the ATA just like a standard
phone. There Terms of Service does not forbid the use of
a fax machine however it does warn against over usage,
which could require a business package upgrade.
· Sun Rocket: According to their website there is
no formal Faxing capabilities. I would assume the modem
could be connected to the ATA just like a standard phone.
There Terms of Service does not forbid the use of a fax
machine however it does warn against over usage, which
could require a business package upgrade or suspension
of service.
· Lingo: According to their website there is no
formal Faxing capabilities. I would assume the modem
could be connected to the ATA just like a standard phone.
There Terms of Service does not forbid the use of a fax
machine however it does warn against over usage, which
could require a business package upgrade or suspension
of service
This is just a sample of providers to find out more you
can search for additional providers online or visit our website.
As you can see most providers offer Faxing capabilities for
free unless over usage or non-residential use is discovered.
If you will be using VoIP for purposes other than the once
in a while fax then I would suggest upgrading to a business
plan that supports increased faxing. For more information
