Re: How to send fax from N900?
 

It can. But I'm not sure whether it uses a different (special) codec, in the old days when fax was still "popular" you had to ask the telco to enable fax functionality (in return for a hike in monthly charges usually) before you can use it.

Re: How to send fax from N900?
 

This does work fine, its essentially just a question of lack of interest (presumably) to develop software - Back in 2007 ish Nokia licensed and rebranded a third-party tool that allows you to send faxes on S60 3rd edition and made it available via the Download! service for all E-series devices at the time (you could manually download it to any N-series using S60 3rd ed as well though) and the software worked great for sending faxes directly.
There are undoubtedly pieces of fax software kicking about for newer platforms, I just dont think Nokia have provided any directly since S60 3rd ed.

Re: How to send fax from N900?
 

Yeah, it should be possible (eg using efax or sendfax for the back end) but no one's written something like that yet.

Fax is probably considered a "legacy" medium by now, and with good reason, but they even removed support for dial-up PPP in Maemo 5 :-(

(Assuming you already have an internet fax service subscription) You can easily send fax from your N900 device by:
1. Make sure you have the document to send on your N900 (JPEG ,Doc, XLS, PDF, etc.)
2. Log-in to your service online account or to your email account.
3. Compose a new email message.
4. Fill-up the recipient's information (fax number, etc.)
5. Attach the document to fax.
6. Click the send button.

Re: How to send fax from N900?
 

i want a fax program as well, it is still usefull. Fax is still valid for sending stuff with signature, jeje i know that you can do all the same things with email, but it is something with fax that makes people trust it more, dont know why since it's easy to fake.

Re: How to send fax from N900?
 

I used to send & recieve Faxes using a Psion 5 & some cellular with ir transmitter.
But that of course was in the good old days. The days when Symbian (Epoc) had some great weekly overview in the Calender app. The standard app....

Anyway - fax is the only accepted form for official communictaion with companies & governments - besides registered letters.
As little as i need it - sometimes i DO.

So - yes. Definatly interested in the ability to send Faxes via the N900. Directly.

1. Upgrade your voice-only GSM cellular susbscription to a data/fax/voice subscription;
[2: optional] Get your additional, incoming data/fax GSM numbers;
3. Get fax-sending software on your mobile. Not sure which one you can get to work on N900. Something like efax, maybe.
