OBi202 + OBiBT + Smartphone WITHOUT VOIP provider = FAX ??

(1/3) > >>

Simon00:
I'm wondering if it is possible to connect a FAX machine to one of the ports on an OBi202 + OBiBT, and FAX thru using my unlimited cellular voice plan without using any VOIP provider?  

I am at places where there is no internet service or they charge way too much.. I also do not wish to use fax service providers for documents w/ confidential personal info. of clients.

Shale:
I have never used OBiBT, but I think that would work. I successfully faxed via my OBi202 via GV as as a test. I did not try adjusting the fax machine settings. If you had a problem, you could set the fax machine to use a slower speed, but I doubt that will be needed.

Simon00:
I find that Google Voice is not very reliable for FAX, and thought that if I can interface my unlimited Smartphone voice plan using OBiBT + OBi202 + regular FAX machine, it'll be perfect.

No one has tested this?? :(

Clive:
Hi guys, if you check, the op is wanting to fax through the obi202>obibt>cell phone data plan, NOT via google voice or any other voip service.

The question that needs answering is, can the fax go from the fax machine into the obi202, then out via obibt where it is then passed to the cell phone for transmission.

Simon00:
Hi Clive,

That is EXACTLY what I'm trying to do...  I'd REALLY like to know if it works before buying the two items together and telling friends & relatives to buy them as well.  I'd REALLY APPRECIATED it if someone who has an OBi202 + OBiBT and test it w/ their Smartphone voice plan and give some feedback?  Much appreciated!!

Thanks!
