Fax over VOIP?


Recommended Posts

An ATA should not be needed as it is the laptop that will be used and the VOIP phone is plugged straight into our livebox with an RJ11 plug at each end of the cable. It will plug straight into the modem RJ11 socket on the laptop. I hope!!

Ta for the gen though. It was the 'will it work' that I was after..

The simplest answer is it will not work. The codec used in VOIP ( i.e the software that codes and decodes voice into digital signals for transmission over the internet) are optimised for voice not for fax which uses different frequencies.

That said I have seen instances when it does work. But these are isolated instances and it certainly could not be relied upon. You may get it to work once but not a second time.

There are many outfits offering "fax over the internet" services - would not these suit your needs better.?
