View Full Version : Using MS Fax and MS Network Connections to send fax via Sprint PCS cel phone

Using MS Fax and MS Network Connections to send fax via
Sprint PCS cel phone.

How can I do this?

No one of the below is willing to answer this question.
They all say they "don't support" 3rd party software or
hardware.

Sprint, FutureDial (who make the cable connecting my
laptop to my cel phone for Sprint wireless internet) and
Samsung (who make the cel phone) and hp who makes the
computer that I'm now typing on, all have refused to
answer this question.

I tried typing the fax phone number in the Network
Connections box. I tried typing the destination fax
phone number in the Fax software.

In order to connect to the internet via my Sprint phone,
I have to dial #777 in Network Connections. I tried
using a # before the destination fax number.

However, I only got - line busy, line in use, cannot
connect, etc.

Any ideas? I'm sure it's a very simple code I must
dial. But I feel none of these manufacturers will tell
me this code, because they're hoping I'll buy another
product/service from them, in order to do what I'm
already paying for in software, hardware, and service
fees.

Thanks!

Faxing requires analog phone lines and an analog fax modem.
