Also, if you want to sell the shoretel system I will buy it, have someone who could use it I think. Just need qty and model numbers, condition each is in...

I'll ask my client if they have any need for the conference phone if you still have it.

I'll ask the boss about it tomorrow. That just might fund the new system.

good luck with your sale.Literally bought days before the release of the new Yealink conference phones. Maybe it will become a deskphone I can carry arround the office to start and end meetings.

How did you figure the fax part out? We use fax lightly, except for HR, which is pretty heavy of course. Faxes going in both directions.

Faxing was just a part of our Windstream service. I'm not sure what its individual cost was. For the new system, I'm using Voip.ms virutal fax. When I log into Voip.ms, I go to Virtual Fax under DID Numbers, click "My Faxes" and set the date range. At the bottom, it shows the total cost of fax transmission. Also the DID for faxing is $1.99 / month.

Sorry, let me clarify. How did you set it up?

I think this is a fax2email type service, right? Or are you using T.38?

Well, they have changed their mind.

Yeah, it's fax to E-mail.
My fax number with voip.ms is configured to send an E-mail to [email protected], which is a mail-enabled public folder. Users who would normally have access to the fax machine at work have access to the public folder. I've also granted access to our work-from-home folks. In the E-mail to fax section, I've added the E-mail addresses of everyone who should be allowed to send faxes. I also configured a security code. So they have to email [email protected] and the subject is
10DigitRecipientFaxNumber.SecurityCode.System isn't as robust as some you can get, but for what little faxing we do it works. Looks like we has 20 faxes total last month (22 pages). Most inbound. I think the only outbound faxes were my test faxes.

So just using for inbound through voip.ms?
My experience is that if there are a few pages these kinds of services work fine. When its 20+ and especially hundreds its near impossible to get things through. Mainly in the medical field.
But still, you used to need a fax server to do fax2email so it is good to know voip.ms is offering this servie.

Exactly, this is why I have two POTS lines that are dedicated to my 700+ a day of faxes

I'm using voip.ms for inbound and outbound.
