In the past with the 2G GSM phones, the software provided a dial up modem / fax as a device. So you could send a fax off your laptop (attached to the mobile phone) from say Microsoft Word or Outlook. I've asked around both Telecom and Vodafone and they said no. Just want to double check if anyone had done it before? Have mobile phone manufacturers stopped faxing and and just gone to email? Cheers ....	Nomad (952)

Might need to get a older phone but seems like some may work in Vista (Data Suite s/w) so it might work on Windows 7. Hoping ..... (Sending) It's also a phone feature not a network, thou faxmail is a network feature to Voda I think (to receive and then forward it to a fax number of your choice). Why? Well. I may not have a landline in the future and email don't cut it for many orgs, it's not acceptable ie., banks, govt depts etc etc... I've got a 6310 at home but I forgot the SIM PIN, haha, dad has the 5110 but he likes it, haha.	Nomad (952)
