I’ve been a user of Google Voice for nearly two years now. This service has literally changed the way I use my phone.
I was lucky enough to get an invite just after Google acquired GrandCentral and have used it ever since. It especially came in handy when moving from North Carolina to Tennessee, as I got a Knoxville area Google Voice number which I gave to potential employers. I now use that number as my primary number for text messaging (free!) and to route business calls to my mobile phone, which is still a North Carolina number.
Over at AscendWiki.com, they’ve put together an excellent article about how to send faxes for free with Google Voice. This comes in handy for eliminating long-distance fees for faxes. Too bad Google Voice won’t allow you to receive a fax yet. Suggest it as a feature here.
Here’s an excerpt:
Go to your Google Voice account, select Settings, Phones and then the Edit option for the phone on which you have your fax machine residing. Open the “Show Advanced Settings.” Then select “Yes” and “PIN not required (for added convenience)” for the “Direct access to voicemail when calling your Google number from this phone?” You could of course have the PIN required, but then you need to add that to the phone number you construct below. I figured my home phone is safe from someone misusing it.2. Send your fax but construct the fax recipient’s number as follows
YourGoogleVoiceNumber--2--NumberOfFaxReceivingMachine (those are dashes in this number to insert 2 two second pauses).For example, if your Google Voice number is 515-555-5565 and the fax machine is at +44-55-56-57-58-59, then set up the number to be
15155555565--2--011445556575859

Glad this stuff is for free. They should come up with those freebies because we are paying internet bills anyway.

A different issue is really that video gaming became one of the all-time biggest forms of recreation for people of various age groups. Kids play video games, and also adults do, too. The XBox 360 is one of the favorite games systems for those who love to have a lot of games available to them, in addition to who like to play live with people all over the world. Thank you for sharing your thinking.

What is the purpose of using Google voice to fax if you STILL require a landline. The question is how (WITHOUT POTS) do we fax DIRECTLY from Google voice without using it as a PROXY?
