Anyone know how to use Google Voice as Fax?
« on: July 02, 2010, 12:16:51 PM »
I am just wondering wether that would be possible (maybe using gizmo5 although I've been having terrible connections with gizmo).
For free obviously!

Any specific configurations, or it just works for you?

Is there any way I can have my fax and a phone plugged into the Obi at the same time?

yes.
if your fax machine supports distinctive ringing then you can set up your fax# as the 2nd line on the obi(which has a distinctive ring-double ring)

double ring or triple ring as opposed to the regular single ring

but how do you plug in both of them into the obi if there's only one port?

Or you can do what I did. When I had my Optimum installed, I had the guy connect one of the houses jacks to plug into the modem so that all of the jacks in the house are on the optimum line. Now with the Obi, all of the jacks in the house are on Obi.  My phone isn't plugged into the obi, that cord that's from the house jacks is. My phone and fax are each separately plugged into regular house jacks.
