Faxes thru TyTN II

Is there a particular app that allows the Kaiser (TyTN II) to send faxes? I have several PDF documents a word documents that need to be sent as a fax.
How is it possible?

I would also like to know this info. That would be sweet if I could fax signed docs right from my Tilt.

bump for more interest

possible fax soution
Efax offers free fax numbers which can be used for both send and receiving via your email program and they have a handheld client. Give it a look.

I think that it has been said many times in different threads that starting WM5 none of the devices have fax capability.
1) There is no software available you can use to send faxes directly from your WM5 / WM6 device
2) These devices cannot be used as a fax modem to send faxes from a PC Program like WinFax Pro
Regards

I believe the devices are fax capable.

Fax
I use myfax. I have a word doc or excel or pdf on my device and send it to [email protected] (where xxxxxxxxxx is the fax number to send the fax). To get faxes I have them sent as an attachment via email or a number which in my case I chose a toll free number. The plan is for 10$/month flat.
This is worth looking into... I have no complaints yet.

Ok well thats the next best thing!
So how do you send a pdf file? As I understand it, the fax I send needs to be in the form of an email . i,e: no word,image or pdf attachments. Or am I mistaken? Have you tried it?

Yes, you CAN send PDF files!
I've just started looking into this, so the MyFax offering was very appealing....according to their FAQ, the following is true....
2. Can I send multiple documents in one fax?
Yes, you can send up to eight documents in one fax as attachments. MyFax supports 48 different file formats, including PDF, Microsoft Word and Excel.

So it looks as though you send an email and attach the file(s) you want faxed; this is pretty much like the Captaris Rightfax software I use in the office.
I'm in the UK, so I'll take a look at the UK offering from MyFax and see if it's the same as the US....

Right, you send it as an email and add the document to send as an attachment. Any faxes
you receive will be attachments in pdf format. I use this every day in the field. Works great if you don't have a printer available to print docs...just send 'em to a nearby fax machine.
This solution also supports many different file formats...too many to list here. Check it out.

email to SMS

IS there a software that convert email from your Pc and send it to your mobile in the form of SMS?

There are a couple of specialist bits of software available, however you'll end up paying for each SMS that gets sent and it will still have restrictions on message size, etc.
An alternative would be to have your PC "dialling up" into a SMS gateway when it receives an email (using software of course to turn the email into an SMS format). You'd find though that it gets incredibly expensive *very* quickly. (I used to run an SMS gateway based on dialup!)
Given I'm assuming you have a Kaiser anyway, why not just have your email delivered to your PDA or set yourself up a nice IMAP account somewhere or, if you're feeling flush, get yourself an exchange account and use Push email?
BTW... If you want to play with a private IMAP server, message me off list and you can have a tinker with the mailserver I run here.. I don't support push mail however as it's not something I need.

I set up a rule in my outlook, whenever I received an email, it will forward that email automatically to my [email protected]. I've been doing that, but now for some reason, I can't receive any of those forward email anymore. In addition to that, when receiving that email, I only get the header... there just not enough character as an sms to receive the body of the email

Hi, was wondering if there is a way to do just the opposite. My husband and I work in a place where we use alpha/numeric pagers. On my old Moto W490, I had no problem sending an SMS to his pager (same sort of address, 10digit#@someplace.com). My tilt says that it's unable to send and SMS message to an email, so it gives me the option to send it MMS. When I do it that way it SEEMS to work on my end but the message is never received. Any ideas why that may be or how to fix it? Thanks, Maggie

configuring Outlook for OWA

Hi All,
I apologize for posting here for a simple thing. I hv HTC Touch Diamond. I want to configure Outlook for my email, calendar etc with my corporate exchange server. Assuming I dont want to synchronize through activesync on my PC. Because from a PC I want to check mails using OWA. If I am not at my desk I want to receive emails on to my mobile.
I have tried all various ways of configuring it. One search has asked me to enable OMA(Outlook Mobile Access) on my corporate exchange server which is not in my hands.
Using GPRS is there a way I can receive corporate emails on to my HTC Diamond ?
Regards
ravi

Correct me if i'm wrong, but you might wanna use this app: Mobipush
http://www.mobipush.com
It's like a push mail server which will forward any mail to your Diamond...it's free of charge...just give it a try...I'm using it and I love it...
Good luck

Ahh..I see....well than for now I cant offer you a solution.... sorry...
Keep us posted about your progress allright?
Thanks mate!
Jeroen
b.t.w. if you gonna use the app, type in your server details manually...than (for me) it should work

Thanks Jeroen. I will post any progress I make. Btw isnt it frustrating ? I have WM and outlook in installed , internet is available on mobile and my company uses Exchange Server still I cant receive emails on my mobile.
hmm.. I am sure there will be other people who are interested in or already using by some way.
Thanks again Jeroen.

Although your company uses exchange they need to configure OMA on their servers. Although you say they have OWA that doesnt mean it will work on your mobile. they also need to have a specific version/service pack level on their exchange server.
The fact they use blackberrys suggests they havnt configured the OMA part that you need. If they did then your company will be the only ones who can help you as they will need to supply you with the OMA server address (usually different to your OWA one) and in many cases a certificate to use.
There really is nothing we can do, its all down to your companys IT department.

This is what you have to do:
Go to your Systems Administrator and ask him whether it's possible to receive email on your diamond. Minimal requirements are:
1. Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 with SP2 installed
2. OWA and Mobile access enabled for your user account on your corportate network.
3. The root certificate of your Certificate Authority. This can be a third party certificate like Verisign or one from your own CA within your corporate network.
4. OWA certificate. This is probably the same ssl certificate you use when you try to access your corporate email from the internet like https://webmail.corporate.com
You have to import both the root certificate as well as the webmail certificate on your diamond and configure the settings.
I have configured this many times for my users with both Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2007 and works great.
Good luck and don't hesitate if you need more info.

The others are right in saying that OWA needs to be configured and available. The other snafu is if there is a cert or not... for example, my company does not use a cerrt and had a re-direct... so the real URL is:
http://mail.mycompany.com/exchange
but they publish the URL as
http://mail.mycomany.com
which has a redirect page to the above URL. You need to make sure you have the full URL: http://mail.mycompany.com/exchange when you configure mail and *IF* they have a cert or not... by default I beleive WM6 assumes a cert.

Thanks all for the suggestions. I have asked my company to enable OMA and configure it. But since we are a blackberry shop they said that they cant do it. Mean while I saw BBConnect for Diamond. Can I use this on Diamond to receive emails. Is there anything extra I need to do to work with BBConnect apart from Internet availability on Diamond ?

Can receive emails but not send after setting e-mail account

Hi all,
My phone will only receive emails & will not send them via my ISP settings. I use T-mobile internet & my landline ISP is TalkTalk. I have used the e-mail setup on my phone (Tytn11 Wm6.1) with my ISP's info (POP & smtp settings) & I can receive emails OK but can't send them - I get a message saying 'THE MESSAGE COULD NOT BE SENT. CHECK THAT YOU HAVE NETWORK COVERAGE AND THAT YOUR ACCOUNT INFORMATION IS CORRECT. THEN TRY SENDING AGAIN. Now I have spoken to both T-mobile & TalkTalk, both have said all the settings are correct (which they are as I can receive emails OK). So why can I receive emails but not send them?
Many thanx in advance
Tynt11 wm 6.1 pro

Most likley your settings are not correct for your out going mail server
Usualy these things can be the case
a) You havent set for authorisation on your outgoig mail server
b) sometimes out going mail hosts use different ports to the standard 110 therefore would have to be updated in ur Windows Mobile
c) your settings are just plain wrong.
Can you type to me ALL of the settings you were given and I'll take a look at them for you.
Thanks

I have the same issue with my Tilt as well. I use Cox Isp. I can get my emails, just can't send any.

old issue - same trouble
My settings are in fact correct (we'll just get this one out of the way). The same settings being used on my pc's are working just fine but not on my phone.
I can receive BUT I can't send. I get the same error as "foxes" above.
receiving is via my web based email acct "pop.xxx.com" Works fine for receiving emails.
While I'm on my own home network (lan) I can recieve but I can't send via the phone (but I can on any of the pc's) and the outgoing settings are the same as the pc's "smtp.comcast.net". Yeah, I'm on comcast. Why won't my phone send like the pc's with the same setings? Any Ideas.
Another question I realize is whenever I'm tailgating on any other lan (free wifi access) this setting clearly shouldn't work. Should I then use "smtp.xxx.com" (my own companies web server)? This setting doesn't work while I'm at home even on the pc's it won't work. A
Any ideas on setting this up more universally??
Also, I've tried the port setting idea example "smtp.xxx.com:587". My server requires this port for outgoing. Again this works fine on my pc's but fails on the phone
THX to anyone with any ideas
JG

What port are you using on smtp?
Have you tried either 485 or 465? I read that comcast changed the port in Denver to 485:
http://www.consideritfixed.com/2008/02/ipod-touch-emai.html
Maybe it might work for your location.

Try these settings on Tmo should work on your Tilt too:
http://www.howardforums.com/archive/topic/555041-1.html
change the port to 25 if you are tying to use Tmobile web service.

my pc is setup with
incomming = "pop.XXX.com"
outgoing = "smtp.XXX.com" using port "587"
works great never a problem.
Now, on the same LAN using my tilt with exact same email acct info & pswd and settings
incomming = "pop.XXX.com"
outgoing = "smtp.XXX.com:587"
receives great
send = fails always. The ":587" is the only way I've been told to send using port "587" (or any other port than 25). If there's another way then maybe that's the answer. However, even using "smtp.comcast.net" with no port designation (default 25) wouldn't work even though it would with the pc's and same settings. This is strictly phone issue and frustrating.
I'm using wm6.1 (original). This is strictly via WIFI. The pc's will send just fine but the phone with exact same settings - FAIL.
This is my dilema. Why won't the phone send while using the exact same settings as any PC in my LAN (all send fine).
Again, thanks for the input, but I'm still searching for the answer. Certainly others have had this issue.

T-mobile internet and email
you need to log into t-mobile.com find "my email," select "add account," put in your email info. it will give you some server and username info. replace the outgoing (smtp) server and username info with what t-mo.com gives you. leave the password alone. send a test email. half the time this issue is due to the server setup on the provider side.

p.s. it doesn't hurt to work for tmobile's unsupported handset department

After all of these posts, what about trying the Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Hotfix for sending email actually devised to fix problems under WM 6.1 sending email ?

Hey Flying Kiwi,
I'll try that aswell, thanx

lol wow.
I know that my ISP does not allow to send via their SMTP server while being off of their network. So I have to use at&t's SMTP server.
looks like this is the smtp that you can use.

Hey,
Mine seems to be working now since I downloaded & installed this Windows 6.1 Hotfix. I'm still using my ISP incoming server but the t-mobile outgoing server........fantastic!

You'll probably find that patch alone will fix it if the problem is sending email worked initially but then after short while, for no apparent reason it stopped working. It looks like an issue that's been in the xda-dev forums before and I recall this solution doing the trick with others. If installing the patch, soft resetting and testing again doesn't fix it, by all means attempt reconfiguring but it's easier to install the patch first.
Of course I don't need it because the WM 6.0 ROM I use doesn't have this problem only the newly WM 6.1 'upgraded' phones so there's yet another advantage of sticking with WM 6.0

Use a Tilt8925 as a Fax

I want to know if there a way to send a fax directly from the phone. Ex. send a word document from the phone to a fax machine.

You can not send a fax like you send SMS or email. Your best bet can be efax like service. Many efax type service providers have service with a low yearly subscription in USA and other countries. You can send email with destination bumber, PDF or Word attachment to your fax service provider and then the server will send it as fax for you using wireline phone automatically. Similary for receiving fax, the service will give you a fax number, which people can send faxes to. Those faxes will be received by a server and sent to you as PDF attachment in email.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info.
