Setting your Flextel Number to route to Faxmail let's you receive faxes directly in your usual email box. You will receive your fax as an email as a standard pdf or tif attachment.
The fax email also contains the Flextel Number dialled, the date and time of the call and the sender's phone number (Calling Line Identity - CLI).
If the sender's number is withheld, we show all but the last three digits, to protect the privacy of the caller. Of course if you know the caller's number you may be able to guess who's faxed. You can also see if someone is having difficulty sending a fax to you when you have Call Notification set.
