There were no real solutions for sending or receiving faxes with windows mobile 5 on the Wizard. I was wondering if anyone has a solution now for WM6?
I am looking for a (preferably free) fax program that will allow me to receive faxes sent directly to my mobile phone number.
Please don't recommend eFax or services like that. I want software that will answer my mobile phone, and receive a fax.

It's good to want things...it build character. Unfortunatly character is not going to get around the fact your phone does not have the necessary hardware to answer a fax call and receive the information. I don't understand the big deal with services like k7.net that are free and give you a separate # you give out for faxes..the faxes go to email and you use push email to send them to your phone realtime. If you want to use your own mobile # as the fax # several services provide both voicemail and fax reception via 3rd parties and all you would have to do is enable conditional call forwarding to send calls to them when busy or not answered...their end would handle the fax/voicemail portion.
heck...Tmobile offers free receiving of fax's into their voicemail for that matter...all you have to do is call them to enable the feature.

Haven't found a way yet. But if you come across something please post it, I would be just as happy to be able to hook up to my laptop and send a fax.
if you guys absolutely need this, there is a "digital" solution where you subscribe to an internet service that will send and receive faxes for you and sends you recieved faxes via email for a small monthly fee, like 10 to 20 bucks. this not exactly what you are asking for, but thought you might not know about this.
Maybe you're looking for something like TrueFax? With this software you can send fax messages directly from your TP. I do not have the web site at hand, so just use a search engine to look it up.

I use myfax.com for $10/month. You get an 800 fax number and all your inbound faxes come as email attachments or can be accessed via the Web. Outbound faxes are sent as email attachments to [email protected] or via the Web. Best part is that faxes do not diminish in quality or size on re-sends as they are converted to PDFs
Receive faxes and voice mail and its free
They will hook u up with a number and everything, only catch is if you don't receive a fax or VM in a 30 day period it will cancel so make sure u use it

I have not tried Faxing with my Touch pro, but if it can't do it, it's only because MS have not bothered putting in the correct drivers, Nokia phones have been able to fax for years, you just plug them in via USB, the drivers are loaded and then you can use them as a fax line as well as a dial up modem !

What's the catch, as nothing is free? Can you SEND faxes with this service?

I'm sure there are services, but those aren't standard text messages. They don't come from your phone number- rather, you send your message to a third party (the service) and their gateway sends it for you.
There are a lot of services that offer it for "free" (usually on a limited trial / adware basis), and a whole lot more that offer it for cheap, bulk rates (e.g. a cent or two a message).
A lot of them are available for Java- you can take your pick by googling "free java text message" or "free text message windows mobile."
I can't recommend any specific one, but note that they won't be text messages coming from your phone- and in some cases, you won't be able to receive replies. Lots of services are one-way or glitchy at best.
Just to let you know:
Betamax Voip services such as the one I am using, Voipdiscount does provide the service you are longing for. The SMS' sender number that shows on the receiver's phone IS your phone number.
There is a condition for this though: when you first register a mobile phone number (you only have to do this once), they automatically call you back and have you entering a code to make sure you are not faking someone else's phone number.
Once they've made sure you are the owner of this phone number, you can keep sending SMS from the internet and they just look like any SMS you've sent from your mobile phone.
Enjoy!
I searched on Google and tried all the websites but none of them shows anything about registration.........and some other sites even said Betamax is a fraud or something....
can u link me the proper page plz?
basically, that GOGII program contacts their systems for the purposes of sending a text message, if you were to get hold of the binary application, you could figure out their SMS server on the internet and then write your own program to send SMS messages - you could do it from a PC, PDA, whatever has internet.
anyone got a jailbroken iPhone handy?
i dont know if there is a wm version of icq, i used to txt ppl with icq all the time! they dont even have to have icq, u just put their # on a contact and use the sms service
most wireless providers have a web form for sms, tho usually restricted to ppl using that carrier and almost always annoying captcha ugh
hope this helps!

Betamax is not a fraud, I've been using their service for 3 years now, I would have noticed!
the proper link in my case is: www.voipdiscount.com but there are pleinty other sites belonging to betamax. Each has different discounts to call different countries. You should check them out and compare to know which one fits your needs best.
Hi All
Basically, im after an application which allows me to send SMS through 3g, rather than clocking up SMS 's on my mobile bill.
I dont mind paying for them, e.g. via a 3rd party website by purchasing sms credits in bulk, but i just want to be able to send SMS's via the Internet
Windows Mobile platform preferred, or a website might even work.
Thanks
There are several websites which offer the service, so some of them should be accessible via Opera Mobile.
I've not used it myself, but a quick google suggests that Skype on WM can be used to send SMS.
Google Voice does it for free. So does Text plus.
hello, i am trying to find a fax app that uses the actual phone line and is not a web based app like everything that i have seen. i basicly need an app that can receive and send a fax over the phone line. has any one heard of such an app. greatly apprecciate any help.
You can find out if the fax from Windows Fax&Scan meets your needs. You can send and receive faxes using only a telephone line and a computer. But if you use a mobile APP, you can only use an online fax service at the moment.
Afternoon everybody.
I am looking for a solution to Send and Receive text messages from a computer as a small business user.
We will be sending approx. 50 SMS a month just confirming order's are ready to be collected., I have noticed their is a 1p SMS Simcard we can use but I don't have any idea's how to connect this to a computer and what application I would use?
I would appreciate it, if somebody could shine some information on this and hopefully get me heading in the right direction.
Thank you .
Craig
As far as I know, there is an IM application which was developed and distributed by the carrier of my mobile phone. I can run it on my Windows PC to send SMS. But it's based on my mobile phone number. I am not sure whether we can send SMS aboard with this application. I have not this application installed on my PC now.
So I think you should contact your carrier to check whether there is any application some like this. Or your carrier may supply some API for you to develop some application by yourself. If then, perhaps you will have to pay for your application to send SMS.
