XDA IIs Fax receiving Problem

[AliKhan]

Hi, I am using XDA IIs with windows mobile 2003 SE.& have just activated my fax number form my service provider . But to use the service I have to forward all incoming fax calls to a specific number. But I am unable to find any settings in the call forwarding section which forwards all fax calls to a specific number. Please help
Thanks

You don't forward fax calls to the number.. the number you have been given is your fax number.
They call that number - not your normal mobile number...

It then comes up with "Fax Call" when they call that number..

Try it yourself - from a landline (or other mobile) call your new fax number..

It works quite well on the XDAIIs

Thanks for your reply. I have tried that (called from a landline on my fax number) but nothign happens on my mobile i.e. no incoming call nothing.
The following is the instructions for using fax from my service provider
------------------
How to activate fax on your mobile:

Go to Call Settings
Select Divert
Select Divert all fax calls/mode
Enter the number 123*xxxxxxx**/124*xxxxxxx** to divert the calls to “Faxmail”

* 123 for North and 124 for South
** Your personalized fax number

Fax mail is different to receiving a Fax on the XDA IIs.

If you have a seperate fax no, then the instructions worked for me (in the UK).
Faxmail is a service whereby the service provider receives your fax and you get it emailed to you - in whatever format they decide.

I'm confused, as you seem to have a new fax no but it isn't working...
maybe contact your service provider to make sure they really have set it up !

Well i have talked with my serivce provider, and they have activated my number. In my case the service provider gave me a fax number. Now anyone who wants to send me the faxes can send it to this number by using normal method. Now to retrieve the faxes i have to dial my fax number using a fax machine and can get my fax in printed fromt. Details are here http://mobilinkgsm.com/mworld/faxMail.php
