Faxing with PPC?

linenoise · #1 (**permalink**) 12-16-2006, 12:51 AM

So I've been searching for months now, and I still can't find any software for this. I know it's possible to fax with my PPC6700 when it's tethered to my laptop, but I get charged with old school "Wireless Web" minutes, even though I have unlimited data. That's .38/min. So, my question is.... Is there any software out there that can loaded into my phone, that will let it fax a file that I have on my phone? I'm guessing it needs to know that there is an internal modem called cellular line.
Thanks in advance,
Line Noise

Look up a program called "scanr," I used to use it on my 6700 to email pdf's of pics, and it had faxing capability. Really good program!

WOW!!! i just looked up this software and its amazing. you can take a picture of a document send it to scanr & it will send it back to u in a pdf format, you can either have the document faxed, just scanned and sent back to u for record keeping & have it to make copies... this is amazing. and the best thing is that it is free, & the developers advised that it will remain free. the only negative side to it is that they request u use a 2.0+ mp camera, but i think the camera on the ppc is amazing so i don't think it'll be a problem... here is the link

I downloaded it too to my 6700, but my pictures doesn't show like normal pictures, they kind of look like negatives, but with a white like background. are they suppose to look that way? also when I went to the website on my laptop, it set me up for a 30 day trial too. I had to re-register when I logged on with my 6700
