Iphone as a fax sender

Why can I not find an app that uses the Iphone as a true fax machine rather that a sensor that sends the fax througha serverr for free or, more commonly, a fee? My fax machine attached to my now disconnected land line had a scanner to get an image of the document a processor to prepare the fax and a phone line to directly send the data to someones fax machine. The Iphone has a camera to get the image, it has a proceeor and it has a phone line, Whay do I need a third party sserver to send a fax?

No, but as with any other internet connection there are internet based faxing alternatives.

  • Tethered iphone as a fax modem

    Is it possible to use a tethered iPhone as a fax modem? Occasionally I just need to send faxes when emails don't work and it seems senseless to buy a fax for these rare times.

    No, but as with any other internet connection there are internet based faxing alternatives.

  • I can receive AOL mail on my iPhone but I cannot send email.

    I can receive email for my AOL account on my iPhone but I cannot send email from the iPhone. I can send email OK from a computer. I have AT&T service.

    razmee209 (and others in this community)... HELP!
    I have the same issue - I can receive email on my iPhone, but cannot send messages.   Keep getting error message:  (Cannot Send Mail - The user name or password for "SMTP:[email protected]" is incorrect
    This issue occurred when I changed my AOL password.   I also updated my password on my iPhone.   After exploring this issue more deeply, it appears that my iPhone did not update my password for outgoing mail (as that are more "dots" in the password field for my outgoing server account, than for the incoming server passward that was just updated.
    I am unable to change ANY of the information or settings in any of the outgoing mail server accounts - except only to toggle each account ON or OFF.   All other information is "greyed" out, and unavailable and inaccessible.
    I know that if I could just change (or somehow sync) the outgoing password to match the new incoming password.
    PLEASE HELP!!

  • TS3276 I can receive emails, but I cannot send emails. This just started happening. I have an iPhone and I can send emails from my phone fine. It's just not working on my Macbook. Every time I try to send an email it goes straight to my outbox. Can anyone

    I can receive emails, but I cannot send emails. This just started happening. I have an iPhone and I can send emails from my phone fine. It's just not working on my Macbook. Every time I try to send an email it goes straight to my outbox. Can anyone help?

    Thank you for heading me in the right direction.  I reset my Mail account for Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net:(customer ID)@att.net (instead of smtp.att.yahoo.com, per Apple's online troubleshooting information).   I'm not sure what "(Offline)" means when it appears at the end of my Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)??  In the Advanced box I clicked on "Use custom port:  465" and checked "Use Secure Sockets Layer."  Authentication:  Password; I have correct User Name and Password put in.  After doing all this, when I try to send emails again today, they go directly to the Outbox and sit there. 
    What's curious is that my first sent email this morning did go out using the Outgoing Mail Server, smtp.att.yahoo.com: (customer ID)@att.net(Offline) but subsequent emails I tried to send with this server were rejected with the message:  "Cannot send message using the server smtp.att.yahoo.com (etc.).  The SMTP server doesn't support TLS(SSL) on port 587.  Verify your account settings and try again."  That's when I tried resetting my Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net (etc.), as mentioned above, and was unsuccessful in sending out any further emails.  I guess my next step is to contact my email service provider, AT&T, and see if they can help me.  Thanks, again, for taking the time to respond and for giving me your input!  Much appreciated!

  • Hp officejet 8610 fax sends out more pages than scanned - received partial output on remote end

    Hp officejet 8610 fax sends out more pages than scanned - received partial output on remote end

    Hi,
    How long is a page on the sender side?  If it is a long page like a legal page, it may end up in in 2 pages in the receiver side. Also check on the receiver end, if it is set to 'auto reduction - off' this may happen, try turning it "on".
    Also if the sender page is not a long page, try observing the paper that is going into the ADF, it should be 1 page at a time, if pages goes into the ADF continueously, it suggest that ADF is could be faulty.
    Set automatic reduction for incoming faxes (for HP printers only)
    The Automatic Reduction setting determines what the printer does if it receives a fax that is too large
    for the default paper size. This setting is turned on by default, so the image of the incoming fax is
    reduced to fit on one page, if possible. If this feature is turned off, information that does not fit on the
    first page is printed on a second page. Automatic Reduction is useful when you receive a Legal-size
    fax and Letter-size paper is loaded in the main tray.
    To set automatic reduction from the printer control panel 
    1. From the printer control panel display, touch and slide your finger across the screen and then 
    touch Setup. 
    2. Touch Fax Setup. 
    3. Touch Advanced Fax Setup. 
    4. Touch Automatic Reduction to turn on or off.

  • When I send a text message, daughter's iphone records as also sending.

    When I send a text message, daughter's iphone records as also sending. I have an iphone 4 and she has an iphone 5. We both recently updated to ios 7. This problem did not happen before the update.

    Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and tap to clear the check mark next to your phone number on her phone and her phone number on your phone. That should stop the dual posting.
