Send and receive a FAX without a phone line

Is it possible to send and receive faxes without a phone line. Instead, can I use bluetooth and cell phone? Or, are there any other options?

Yes/No. There are internet options, companies/programs that like internet phone dialers allow you to send faxes over the internet that end up calling actual phones. Most (if not all) charge a fee for this.
As for bluetooth/cellphone, you're better off sticking with internet options. You could use bluetooth if you had a bluetooth device setup to receive and convert but I'm not sure such advices exist and even if they did I'm not sure the value of them. It would be like sending from your laptop while standing next to a fax machine. Cell phones are possible if your phone allows connection via modem which only a handful do. Given a cellphone with modem support and an apple modem, its possible.

  • My iPhone both sends and receives messages from 2 different phones. They are registered with the same iTunes account. What can I do to stop this?

    My partner and I both have iPhone 5s and an iPad. We registered all three products with the same iTunes account as we download music and movies together. I have noticed when my partner sends me a message it also appears on my phone that I have sent it AND recieved it. The same goes for when I text him. I send the message to his phone and my phone also recieves it. Facetime does the same thing. Its very strange. Does any one know what I can do to stop this from happening?

    To stop this, don't use the same Apple ID on both phones for iMessage and FaceTime.  (You can continue to use the same ID for iTunes; it doesn't need to be the same as the ID used for iMessage or FaceTime.)
    On one of the phones, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.  Then do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

  • Multimedia messages,send and receive

    Is there an application that you can get so that you can send and receive multimedia messages, ie ,pictures phone to phone.
    This is one of the most common used items not to be able to do on that phone.

    You can accomplish this via email.
    Ask the sender of an MMS to address the MMS to an email address for an email account that you access with your iPhone's mail client. The sender will enter your email address in the To: field for the MMS instead of entering your cell phone number with area code.
    The MMS will be received by you as an email with the photo attached to the message. If you also access this email account with an email client on your computer, you will have access to the received photo on your computer as well.
    This will give you the sender's cell phone MMS email address - included in the From field for the received email. Add this email address to the contact's info in your iPhone's address book.
    Select a photo to be emailed and when addressing the email to the sender's cell phone MMS email address - placing it in the To: field, the email with the photo attached will be received as an MMS by the recipient.

  • Is there a way to send and receive SMS on multiple cellular devices without using iMessage?

    I currently own a cellular iPad mini and an iPhone 4s and would like SMS to be the same on both devices as well as my desktop.
    After many months of struggling with iMessage, I decided to turn it off entirely.  I discovered that my best friend did not receive dozens of my texts over the span of a few months (I compared our message history side by side).  Seems like it had something to do with traveling in and out of wifi zones or possibly conflicts between our two carriers, ATT and Verizon.  Regardless, I am not willing to dive into iMessage fully until this gets sorted out.  Further, SMS is the standard message format for everyone outside of the Apple sphere, and I do not feel comfortable lumping them together into one app.  If I decide to switch to Android, will all of my contacts with iPhones continue sending me iMessages?
    Thank you for your help!

    Search the iTunes App Store for any 3rd party SMS apps that may be available.

    Android phones don't receive iMessages, they can recieve SMS messages sent through the iOS Messages app. The app that your contacts choose to use to send you messages is completely up to them.

  • Help please:set up mac 10.4.11 with ext dsl modem to send and receive faxes

    Hi and thanks in advance. I have a G4MDD dual processor, and have a dsl modem for internet connection. I want to set up to send and receive faxes. I can make and receive phone calls while connected to the internet. any ideas or help appreciated. Thanks again.
    Message was edited by: R.Andom

    I cannot send/receive faxes via my dsl, I have to use my regular phone line. (My DSL modem only has one phone jack port, and that is to connect it to the outside world. Pretty sure this is true of every DSL modem.)
    When I need fax capability, I unplug the phone line to my telephone at the phone end, and plug that cable into the modem port in the back of the G4. (The modem is built-in.) After sending / receiving, I switch the cable back to the phone.
    You set up fax capability in System Preferences / Print and Fax.

  • Trouble send and receiving messages and trouble calling people or receiving phone calls

    Hello everyone, I bought a Blackberry Q5 one year ago and has worked perfectly since but on christmas day I had was struggling to send message to people I thought nothing of it since it was christmas and people would be wishing there families and friends a merry christmas. So i just carried on as usual not aware that the problem was much worse then i thought, since then I have tried time and time again to try text people and call them but nothing would happen.
    The Problems I am experiencing,
    Everytime I try sending a message it fails and times out after a while doesn't matter whom they are being sent to it's the same story no matter who I send them to, and then of course when i try calling someone the phone goes to the calling screen but doesn't make a sound for atleast 10 seconds then a message pops up saying "Call Failure, The call could not be connected. Please try again later". This message appears even when I ring '789' which is the number to find out what my balance is on my contract.
    At first I thought it was the Sim what was cauing the problems but when i swapped it into another Virgin phone i received quite an alarming amount of messages what would not come through on my phone, this is when i realised I am not just struggling to send messages but to receive them as well. I have scoured the internet for possible answers but nothing has worked, so far I have tried manually scanning for available networks and selecting the correct one which did not change the problem this didn't make things better nor did it make things worse.
    I have also tried changing the data services while roaming settings which again did not make any differences, I have tried changing network mode no changes again, turning the mobile network off all together and then turning it back on after 5 minutes no success there either. I have even reset the phone back to factory setting to try and fix the problem, but no, the problem still will not go away.
    Please if there is anyone out there who has any ideas on how to fix what is happening to my phone please do give me your advice, at this moment I really need a miracle to come around at the next corner.

  • TS2755 I have 3 phones on one Icloud account. It has been this way for over a year with no issues. After and update on of the lines started getting text messages from all 3 phones. We fixed the send and receive and it was fixed. It is doing it again.

    I have 3 phones on one Icloud account. They have been this way for over a year. After an update last week one of the phones started getting messages for all of the other lines. We fixed this under the send and receive under settings. It was fine for a few days. Suddenly it started happening again. Yesterday after two hours on the phone I changed my apple id and it is still happening. Before that Verizon had told me to turn off my imessage when that happened I could not get any texts at all from other Iphone users.

    Make 3 different iCloud accounts and use ONLY for iMessage.   That will permanently fix your issue.

    Ever since I updated my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2 to IOS 6 all my iMessages are coming to both my iPhone and my IPad. How do I stop the iMessages I send and receive on my phone from receiving on my iPad as well? I have tried going into my settings and making sure I'm only set up to receive iMessages to my cell number and not my email....but that didn't fix the problem.

    Here the way to do it, for both, or for only one Go into your settings, Messages and turn on iMessage. It will then send messages that are iMessages to both your iPad and iPhone. You can also turn off this feature on the iPad if you do not want to receive messages on the iPad.

  • IMessage waiting for activation. Phone number not listed in Send and Receive at?

    I'm going to try to be as descriptive as possible, as I'm not too sure what else I can possibly do to resolve this issue.
    3 or 4 days ago I requested a number change through my provider. Not knowing that I had to turn off iMessage whilst waiting for the change to occur, I left it on.
    Later that day my friends were complaining that I was sending them texts from two different numbers, one being my new number, one being my old number. The thing is, I'm using the exact same SIM card and it's a little unusual to have two numbers for one SIM. I then realised that iMessage is ONLY registering my iTunes e-mail address and OLD phone number as an option to 'Send and Receive at'. I have spoken to Optus (my provider in Aust.) and Apple, I have gone into an Apple store, had the phone replaced, restored newtwork settings, restored phone altogether, turned on/off iMessage and Facetime, checked date and time, made sure my correct number is listed in Settings > Phone, etc etc etc I've done EVERYTHING listed in all forums that I've read from people experiencing this same issue.
    I can choose to select my old phone number in iMessage, and can then send messages to others using iMessage from the old number, and if I switch it off, I'm then using SMS to send messages, and it's from my new number again! It's very frustrating not having all features on my phone working correctly.
    If I switch iMessages and Facetime on, not using my Apple ID to sign in, it simply says 'waiting for activation' and after a few hours, tells me it was unsucessful and to try again. I'm all out of options now, Optus don't know what to do, Apple don't know what to do and I don't know what else to do! It's been 4 days! Someone please help!?

    Just thought I'd let everybody know how it finally got resolved 1 week later!
    After trying absolutely everything, and I mean EVERYTHING that Apple support, apple forums etc told me to do, the only thing that worked was turning iMessage off, waiting for at least 24 hours at then turning iMessage back on.
    It activated itself within a few minutes, no dramas at all!
    Hope this helps!

  • I am not getting all my txt messages when I look at settings- messages- send and receive my phone number is not checked... how can I change it?

    I am not receiving all my txt messages, I think it is because in Setting -> messages -> send and receive, my cell phone number doesnt have a check next to hit. Im not able to check it. any ideas?

    Old phone is off and number is fully ported?  SIM card new and installed/seated properly?  All Apple credentials disabled if coming from iPhone?
