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.

Summiter and others, would you consider altering the new 8125 ROM to allow SMS Messaging to send a SMS to an email address that is placed in the TO: field? Most PDA and cell phones allow you to send an email via SMS by simply entering the email address; this allows the contact email to be autopopulated from the address book. Currently, the 8125 only populates from telephone numbers, not email addresses, requiring you to place 36245 in the TO: field then manually enter the email address on the first line of the message body...cumbersome if you dont recall the email address.
I've searched and searched and cant find a fix. Other people are looking for the same solution.
If you want to use your 8125 as a pager replacement, this is critically important.
This is not something that can be "fixed" in the ROM. You need a 3rd party program that can do this.
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.
I have an AT&T Tilt and am connecting to my exchange server using direct push. Is there any way to stop the device from sending a read receipt to the sender every time I read an e-mail? Our IT department has it set to request whether we want to send such receipts when we access e-mail from Outlook.
Also, is there any way to request such read receipts when sending e-mail from the device?
Any help is appreciated.

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
Hi All,
I've just configured my Outlook 2007 to enable me to send faxes directly via my fax service. I could always send faxes as email attachments, but I've now configured it as a fax service.
Now, you're probably thinking "very nice,but what the bugger has that got to do with a Raphael?" Well, I was wondering if there was any software out there that would enable the same thing from Mobile Outlook. I know I can attach a document and a fax by emailing [email protected], but I want to be able to use a fax service like in Outlook.
Any ideas anyone?

Would that be what you are looking for?

Yeah I was wondering is there a application that I can have someone call my phone to fax me something and when I pickup have it answer as a fax. I know my laptop can receive a fax via the modem but not sure if a WM 6.1 device can do that too. Heck not sure if there even is a modem in the phone how could I tell?

Nope. That's what I have already, although with MyFax.com. What I want is similar functionality from my phone. Not just emailing [email protected], I can do that, but using the fax service function. In Outlook, I create a fax by selecting New Fax Message. I want a similar option on my phone.
