Unable to divert fax calls on XDA IIs - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

Dear All
On regular mobile phones, one can divert all fax calls to a different number or to the voice mail facility of the network provider. There doesn't seem to be this option under the XDA IIs call options. Any one can tell me how to divert fax calls?
So far I haven't had satisfaction from the available fax software to receive them directly on my XDA IIs
Thank you

TrueFax included with MDAIII ?

Just been looking through the manual of my MDA III and it mentions the use of TrueFax (Pages 131 to 134), great I thought, that will come in handy. But I can't find it on my MDAIII?
Is it included? I've looked on the CDs but one is for activesync and the other contains the voice dialing software.
I've even downloaded it and installed it, but its says thats it a trial version.
Thanks
Richard
Just did a hard reset - sorted..
Cheers anyway!
Well happy now! - Free software!
Voice dialling ?
Hi,
i just got my Qtek9090 today and still comparing it with my qtek2020. What voice dialling software are you talking about ?? I found true fax on mine, installed from ext rom, but i can't seem to find any voice dialling....
care to trade ?????
hihihihihihiihi
Its called 'Fonix VoiceDial'. My MDAIII came with version 2.0
Its clever, in that you say the person's name and number type, for example:
'Richard Mobile' and it says it back to you (in a computer voice) then you have to say 'Yes' or 'No' to confirm dialling.
Not very handy in that you have to start it up, via opening the software, so not very hands free!

Its on mine
Start, Programs KSA Truefax 2.0
Thanks, what happened was I cocked up the first 'hard reset' - when I first switched it on... :roll:
Sync'd it with Outlook and hard reset it, and its sorted
Thanks!
wich i could say the same......
I've set the voice dial to the record button on the side of the MDAIII for quick dialing.
So simple, yet so difficult for Richard.
Thanks! - What a cracking idea :idea:
I-mate must not be including Fonix with their PDA2K units.
Folks I've got a question for those of you that have a PDA2K/MDAIII does the fax software work? Cuse I can send faxes fine but can't recieve any, and apparently I'm not the only one if you take a look at the clubimate forums.
If it does work for you folks could some kind individual post the cab file for it from their extended rom.
Fax does work, but...
True Fax does work really well in sending faxes, once I had figured out I had it I had sent a fax within minutes.
Now receiving faxes, thats a different story:
With T-Mobile there are two different services:
Service 1 (Free to use for business customers)
First you need to ask your operator for a fax number on your account. With T-Mobile its apart of their VoiceMail+.
This enables you to receive faxes to your voice mail. So you can receive faxes, but they don't get to your pda :-( , when you recieve a fax, you get a voicemail message saying that you have a fax, you can then either delete it or sending to a 'real' fax machine.
Service 2 (£25 one off cost)
To receive faxes on our I-MatePDA2k you need to ask your operator for a fax and data line. once you have a fax and data number you can actually receive faxes on your PDA, but not how you would expect....
With your PDA you need to turn on the 'recieve fax mode' within TrueFax. This enables you to receive faxes, but it turns off your mobile number so you can't make or receive calls :shock: when in this mode.
Vodafone in the UK have 'vodafone.net' which incorporates SMS/Email/Voice/Fax into one and I do really miss that service, becuase when I recieved a fax it came to me as an email attachment.
Hope that helps

I'm afraid Fax support is completely network dependant. Some providers support it, some don't. You will need to ring your provider and ask them about it. Even if they do support it, they will probably give you another "fax only" number that people must send faxes to in order for your device to receive them.
O2
Hi
Just to let people know, that the O2 Online Consumer tarriff does not and will not support fax send/recieve (this came from the horses mouth).
O2 Online Business tarriffs do support fax and they will allocate a fax no for the mobile. Ditto Consumer and Business O2 tarrifs bought from an O2 shop.
If you need fax, avoid O2 Online Consumer tarrifs as they will not enable fax.

XDA IIs Fax receiving Problem

Hi, I am using XDA IIs with windows mobile 2003 SE.& have just activated my fax number form my service provider . But to use the service I have to forward all incoming fax calls to a specific number. But I am unable to find any settings in the call forwarding section which forwards all fax calls to a specific number. Please help
Thanks
Fax Calls on XDAIIs
You don't forward fax calls to the number.. the number you have been given is your fax number.
They call that number - not your normal mobile number...
It then comes up with "Fax Call" when they call that number..
Try it yourself - from a landline (or other mobile) call your new fax number..
It works quite well on the XDAIIs
Charlie Grillo
Thanks for your reply. I have tried that (called from a landline on my fax number) but nothign happens on my mobile i.e. no incoming call nothing.
The following is the instructions for using fax from my service provider
------------------
How to activate fax on your mobile:
Go to Call Settings
Select Divert
Select Divert all fax calls/mode
Enter the number 123*xxxxxxx**/124*xxxxxxx** to divert the calls to “Faxmail”
* 123 for North and 124 for South
** Your personalized fax number
---------------------
Fax Calls on XDAIIs
Fax mail is different to receiving a Fax on the XDA IIs.
If you have a seperate fax no, then the instructions worked for me (in the UK).
Faxmail is a service whereby the service provider receives your fax and you get it emailed to you - in whatever format they decide.
I'm confused, as you seem to have a new fax no but it isn't working...
maybe contact your service provider to make sure they really have set it up !
Well i have talked with my serivce provider, and they have activated my number. In my case the service provider gave me a fax number. Now anyone who wants to send me the faxes can send it to this number by using normal method. Now to retrieve the faxes i have to dial my fax number using a fax machine and can get my fax in printed fromt. Details are here http://mobilinkgsm.com/mworld/faxMail.php

Fax Q: How to send & receive w/o going into flight mode?

I have just got fax activated on my SIM and been given a new fax number as well, so I have been sending and receiving faxes with TrueFax as advertised.
However...
Shouldn't there be some way to send and/or receive without automatically going into flight mode and dialing internal modem? If twirpy Nokias can do it (they can and do), why not Blue Angels?
Is it just a limitation of TrueFax, or is it just impossible to do with Xda IIs?
EDIT: Doesn't MFaxCE do this? With version 1.8.6 it claims to be the first mobile fax software to send via voice modem. (It can also use Xda internal modem, like TrueFax.) Anyone try it yet?

Very Stupid Question

My buddy is telling me that so long as I am near a Wifi/Hotspot... I can make free calls? True?
If so..... HOW!?
Not true, but only because you didn't get all the details.
T-Mobile offers a service called [email protected] For more info, go to the below link:

You may be able to make and receive calls for free with some VoIP providers. Most allow free incoming calls but not free outgoing.
Have you looked at Skype? they have a version for smartphone, and i would imagine you would get enough speed via WiFi

Texting while traveling overseas

Am a small business owner and need to be able to access incoming and outgoing texts while on a cruise. WhatsApp seems to require the other party to be signed up which is not always the case. Is there another way around this besides buying the high-priced cellular plan? For example can I forward my phone to Google Voice and receive messages this way over WiFi?

What I can suggest is one of those free voip services that give you an actual phone number. In Canada we have Fongo, lets you receive and send texts to and from your assigned number as long as you have a working Internet connection. There has to be something similar where you are. You can even probably sign up for Fongo where you are, you'll just have a Canadian area code.

You already have 3 things:
- smartphone
- Google Voice
- Hangouts
You're missing just this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.hangoutsdialer
after that you'll have unlimited texting, SMS, incoming and outgoing calls, voice mail - and all those absolutely free...
p.s. after installing go into the above mentioned application setting menu and check two check-boxes for incoming calls and SMS..
