Also, there are SIP providers that support faxing for a standard consumer. Skype, however, does not.

There is no possibility of using fax with VOIP. Not now, not in the future. There's an internet article about this somewhere that I'm too lazy to look up.

Your comment is inaccurate. Although it is not possible to use this phone with a fax machine, it is very possible to use VOIP service to send and receive faxes. There are lots of VOIP compatible fax machines on the market, just not yet to consumers, mostly the small to large business market.

For VOIP fax you may use this. I do. OBi202 VoIP Phone Adapter with Router, 2-Phone Ports, T.38 Fax

Credit card machine I'd say no. Fax, perhaps. But I haven't had luck with fax either. They do have a fax service with Ooma Office which MIGHT be an option. I had it for a while. It worked for a very short time and then stopped.I swapped out my old land line credit card machine for an internet based machine (First Data FD100) and the new machine works GREAT. You might want to try that angle for the credit card machine. It will eliminate the need for another line.

To use the fax feature you have to make sure the printer is hooked up to a dedicated telephone landline. Fax does not work over the wifi feature.

I haven't used my fax for years but their site says you can fax, go to "http://magicjack.com/faq/"

It would depend. If you are asking if you can connect to a FAX line, yes they are just telephone lines typically. If you want both the FAX and the Base connected, I would get a splitter that turns one jack into two telephone jacks, and plug the FAX into one side and the phone into the other. Some research needs to be done to see how to set the FAX and phone to share the line. Many FAX machines or phones can be set to determine what type of call is incoming.

I have been told that you can send and receive faxes, but I have no first-hand experience doing it. I purchased the unit to connect my Dish receiver up to my telephone line. That operation works quite well, so it would seem that faxes would also.

If you are asking if you need a dedicated phone line, the answer is no. I only used the fax feature one time, but it did work well.

You will need a phone line input in order to use the FAX function. The line can be shared for sending with your home line. Receiving on a shared line is more difficult. There are services on the internet that you can use your PC TO send and receive Fax messages they give you a separate phone number for this. Monthly charges come with this.

If you have the modem connected to a phone line, it should work if you follow the instructions for connection and setup. I have this modem as a backup and it works great for me but I have not used it for faxing as I have a dedicated fax. Alternatively, you could call (toll free) or e-mail USRobotics and speak with one of their pre-sales or technical support technicians; and if your questions are answered satisfactorily about the modem, you could then order the modem from your vendor of choice. Good luck!

you should have a built in fax with 8.1; look under devices and printers? you will need to run a telephone line to your computer.

Yes, I use the modem with Windows Fax and Scan and it can be configured to only answer as a fax when you tell it to. When the computer is on and the phone rings a little box appears on the computer screen asking if you want to answer as a fax.

Fax and voice calls on a single line. This feature saves the expense of separate phone lines for fax and voice calls. A built-in interface even lets you connect an external answering machine. THIS review by someone else: I also use this line with receiving phone messages and this machine is smart enough to know which is which. Highly recommend it.

I couldn't get it to work with a modem, something about the frequency difference, but I haven't tried it with a fax so I don't know for sure.

This model is a 2 line system and to use a fax just connect the fax to one of the lines wall jacks and have the fax answer on a shorter ring. For example we have the fax answering on line 2 with 1 ring. With the phone we basically just use line 2 for calling out when line 1 is in use. We also have our credit card machine on line 2 and everything works with no problems. Great little phone system, very happy with it.

Dear Catherine, I'm sorry, but I have absolutely no idea. I purchased the machine exclusively to send FAX's. However, in the user guide I found this "If you select Fax Storage, your fax machine stores the received fax in the memory. You will be able to retrieve fax messages from another location using the Remote Retrieval commands." I HOPE THAT HELPS. Caroline

I do not use a FAX machine but it should. It is a standard phone and works fine. I use it with my MagicJack phone service, so that is technically connected to a computer and not directly to a wall. Hope this helps. --Howard.

I have used my fax with Ooma. I use the same line for voice and my fax and just turn the fax on when using it.
