Why $3.00 per month instead of $0.99 for the second fax line?  My guess is that the fax line is not connected (setup) to your OBi or any other ATA, and all incoming fax calls simply get answered (fax received) and emailed to you.  For outgoing, are you scanning, upload to Anveo and then sent through your fax line?

I rearly receive fax on my Anveo account, so I can't justify buying a DID for dedicated fax.


I don't really know. ???

I'll get back to you after I discuss this with Anveo...

Robert.Thompson:
So, I checked with Anveo and here is what I pay:

For the 'Starter Plan' which includes 'email to fax':  $7.85 per month
For my 2 'Unlimited incoming' DID ($2.45 each)    :   4.90 per month
Total                                                           :$12.75 per month

Plus I pay $0.005 per minute for outgoing voice or fax.

All the above in USD.

Still much cheaper than the $81.00 CAD that I was paying Bell Canada.

I know that I could do VOIP for less but I am happy with this, at least for now.

Rob.

If you only receive few faxes you don't need an unlimited Rate Plan for your fax number. Just use the Value Rate plan instead, it costs only $1.45/month for Canadian numbers.

Please note you can mix Value and Unlimited Rate Plans as you wish.

Thanks ArneBolen, I'll give that change a try! :)

Can anyone explain how Anveos "fax detection" works?    I couldn't find any information on the Anveo web site.   I tried to sending myself a fax and it worked (the phone never rang and the fax was delivered to my email).  But it seems like they would have to answer the phone and listen for the fax tones before deciding to ring the phone.   If that's the case, it seems like that would introduce several seconds of extra delay before the phone rings on a voice call?
