Using Fax Service.

[Jordanlw]

Hello,
I was wondering how I can setup a fax service for the free BETA month?
I've already registered a account through the VPanel process and a Fax number (8885836955).
And was wondering were I go from now?

Eg. Can I send faxes from a online web panel? or via email,
Can someone Fax that number please as I don't have a fax machine and need to test if its all a ok.

Update:
Well Brandon sent me a fax and I recieved it correctly,
I was amazed on how quick & easy it was to setup this fax number & service.

So my final question for now is, is it possible to "send" faxes with VOIPo services?.

~Thanks.

I don't see that option yet. You will be able to login to Vpanel, browse for the file to fax, and send it to the fax number you would like.

Yeah, sending is not in there yet, but this is exactly how it'll work when we add it. It's really pretty easy to add the way our system is setup, but we've just been focusing on launch lately. Should be added soon.

Also, for those of you testing faxes, we have had a lot of people mention using http://faxzero.com/ to send a test one.

This is NOT our service and I don't know a lot about it, but apparently they let you send a free fax with ads on it (which would be fine for testing).

I noticed something related to fax in the VPanel that probably needs to be looked at. When I go to the features tab and select fax, the other features disappear from the menu bar (which does not happen if I select any other feature). For navigation purposes, it would be nice to still have the other features continue to show.
