Fax to Email ease of use
The fax to email user's fax number is referred to as the "user number" for all active applications. The fax to email user's fax number will be mapped (linked) to the email address supplied by the user on registration. Only one email address may be mapped to the user's 086 fax to email number.
Faxes are received on the user's 086 number and are then converted to a TIFF / PDF document. The email address linked to that 086 number is then obtained from the database and an email is sent to the user with the TIFF / PDF file as an attachment.
It is a condition of use that a customer who has been allocated a fax to email number shall ensure that the number is used in order to satisfy the regulator (ICASA) that the number is not dormant. Should a number so allocated not receive one fax per month, the right is reserved to cancel such number and withdraw the number from the customer and re-allocate the number to a new user. Fax to email users will be contacted from time to time regarding updates, amendments and new products & services.
