I have fax machines, it's all set up for use on a landline. I want to be able to fax through my cell line instead of my landline. I really want to cancel the landline.
I know how to tether via USB - EDGE, I'm thinking it's basically the same steps. Set up a dial up conn, but instead of putting in the tether number (*99#) put in the number that u are faxing to. And for incoming have the fax come in your cell phone then reverse the process (cell>pc>fax machine.)

You might build a converter to plug the fax line out into the headpiece jack of the cell for a low (medium?) tech solution... Even that would be a project, and it wouldn't automate the process...

After a year have pass, anything new on this?
fax machine plugged into the PC via USB, WM phone connected to PC, then fax it instead of using data with internet sharing, maybe a diff prog that does voice to dial out
if that dont work i guess i have to settle for scan it then send it to PC, then fax it with internet...what are some programs or services to send fax?

Hello!
I am interesting to be able to send FAX from my cell phone (HTC 8525). I want my cell phone to work as a FAX machine. I do not want to send FAX through Internet. Is it possible? What kind of software do I need?
Is it possible to use cell phone as a FAX? In here I mean if it is possible to connect laptop to phone and use some kind of software on laptop to send a fax?
Thank you!
P.S. I can not find if the phone supports the fax functionality...
Back in the day when cell phones really started to become popular, nearly all of them had some kind of "fax mode." I am nearly 100% sure this is still possible with modern cell phones, but how to do it is beyond me, I'm afraid.
Not that I would expect them to really have any idea, but have you tried getting in touch with Cingular about your question?
No... I prefer do not speak with xustomer support without good reason. They always want to add some kind of service to my plan!
fax from 8525
Have you found a way todo this yet?? I twould be a great feature.
OK I got a NIB Socket CF 56k Modem on ebay for next to nothing. I couldn't pass it up. BTW its a v.92 and I have a Dell AXIM X50v
1st. I want to access the internet when I'm traveling or in an emergency though dial up. I will spend about $6 a month for it if I have too. Who supports this kind of service? My broadband provider has free dial up but they have a propietary dialer you have to activate that isn't for WM. Anyone know what company's I can look at? I got onto the free new england dial up no problem. But I'm in Florida AC(813).
2nd Is there any answering machine software I can get? The cards supposed to support caller ID etc....
3rd Is there any kind of fax software I can get to receive faxes while I"m mobile?
Anyhelp would be greatly apreciated.
thanks guys

1 not sure what it is you want to do a pda cant use an external old analog modem
and one cant connect to a normal analog modem service with a pdaphone
one can connect with a laptop to an analog modem service and connect to the laptop with the pda.
but if one is traveling in other countries and connect to an isp at home it will cost alot

So far the best solution seems to be dial4less.com here in the states. They say there fully PPC compatible and don't use dialers. Covers a lot of the U.S. And they have a 25 hour a month plan for 5.99 a month.
I'm gonna play with the i secretary. Now I just need to find a fax program. Any other ISP's I should look at lemme know. I'd love to get 5 or 10 hours a month for cheaper.
ok I found a great fax program for a cf 56k modem too. Its called KSE True Fax 2004 3.01v. I tried other versions but they only worked with WM phone editions. This will work with a normal PDA with a compact flash modem.
I just dropped my land line I don't miss it except for the dozen or so times a month I have to fax something, I know there are fax services out there but then I need to scan the document and pay them 10 bucks a month to fax it with their service I got to thinking surely someone out there has made a Device that hooks your fax machine to your cell phone Maybe via Blue tooth or even a Device I can shove my SIm card into that would give me a dial tone and a RJ11 jack for the fax, I kind of came up empty on google figured I would ask about it here seeing if it has to do with a cell phone someone here invented it or uses it.
there are many apps to fax directly from phone.
i had one or two, but never used so i forget what they are called..
try ppcwarez..
Please don't laugh but is it anyway possible to use the X1 as a old style fax modem then its connected to my laptop running vista business?
I can see that there is a 9600 baud modem inside the phone, but how do I make Vista recognize this ??
Xperia doesn't contain an duuuud du duuu modem???
haha, indeed, strange wannahave..
But, don't know of it is even possible to use a mobile line for fax communication..
But, just found a few fax programs with McGoogle.. so.. let met know

Funny how a search on google turned up more than a search on our own damn forum...Search function sucks!
The SE Xperia X1 has a inbuild FAX Modem.
Sending a Fax with the X1 is from the Hardwareside possible.
I have searched the last week nearly two days
for a software that i can install on the X1
for fax handling.
The only programm that was prommissing was
"True Fax". True Fax make the Phone to a Fax macine.
It allow sending and receiving of Fax with
the Mobilephone.
This programm however is outdated and
works only for older HTC Phones.
I have solved my problem by replacing the need of a fax with the mail functionality of the phone.
You should have however have the possibility to connect
the X1 Modem with Vista over BT. Afterthis select as outgoing connection in Vista the new Modem. With a good Faxprogramm your Fax should be send by the SE X1.

I read your post and like the idea, so I tried to set up a remote connection to the phone, in Vista, but the wizard will not display the phone modem (assuming there is one). The remote connection utilty in Vista looks like it always did in Windows (I see it sometimes because it pops up when I launch my wifi modem's connection). If the modem is found, any fax program should find it.
I should think there is a way because it's not too long ago since the gsm operators were actively marketing their business packages with the big thing then - fax from the mobile. I know I can still get an extra number to the mobile phone, that will only handle fax calls.
If it cannot be done, you an always let Vista use X1s internet connection, then send the document with something like PamFax for Skype (works great and the pennies for sending can be deducted from the Skype account so there's no extra business of filling up credits).

Reclaim the fax! I don't call customer service or the government or the bank or whatever any longer - it's just holding lines and a lot of options that take you to an automated voice that says something stupid. If you send an email, you don't know if they'll answer. If they get a fax, for sure it WILL land on someones desk and they will treat it as a formal letter.
--------------
Actually in bigger companies, their fax machines are inside their COMPUTERS. So there is nothing landing on anyones desk
And probably smaller companies can't afford a 'real' fax machine and will just use their computers.... same result
I'm in Europe. We're different.
You can try install BT dialup networking profile and then connect phone from vista as COM port modem.
Can i set it up with my computer so that i can use my phone as a fax modem? No one really has regular modems in their computers anymore.
you need a program like rightfax installed on your computer. the phone is unnecessary unless you dont have an internet connection...
Looking for something free. My old sony dumbphone could connect to my computer as a fax modem so i could use it to send out. Cannot find an answer to do it with Android phones.

there you go dude. you dont need your phone for anything.
But to answer your question, no, the phone cannot be used as a traditional fax. There are no drivers to support dial up networking over a virtual com port like in the old days.
