Quick Vodafone Fax tip
Posted on August 28, 2006, by Conor O'Neill, under Technology.
Every once in a while I still need to receive a fax. I continue to be surprised by the number of people who don’t know that you don’t need a fax machine to do this.
If you are on Vodafone, make sure you have set up a Vodafone email account and then just give out your mobile number preceded with a 5 as your fax number i.e. +353-87-5NNNNNNN. The fax is then sent to a special folder on Vodafone email and you get an SMS to say it is there. You can then logon and download the fax as a picture which you can print out.
If memory serves, the alternative is that you call your voicemail and it gives you the option to forward the fax to another fax machine of your choosing.

That whole story is disgraceful JD. Mind if I do a blog post and link over?

Fire away, Conor. Wasn’t sure of protocols regarding linking ‘away’ from http://www.conoroneill.com but I’m shocked at the whole episode. Just to alert folk really. Thanks.

Have an interesting experience regarding unsolicited direct-marketing faxes to a private phone/fax I’d like to share at http://www.freewebs.com/jdeire under ‘Unsolicited Faxes’
Perhaps someone might have words of wisdom. Didn’t want to post the item here because I’m not sure it ‘matches’ this particular content.
