Service Options - SkyTel Fax Advance Service for SkyWord Plus with SkyReply®

SkyTel Fax Advance 
The Fax Service for Advanced Messaging subscribers 

SkyTel Fax Advance lets your contacts send their faxes directly to your Personal Access Number. Your pager alerts you that you have a fax waiting, then you choose where and when to receive it. SkyTel will store your document for up to 3 days.

 

 

 

When you're ready to receive the fax, just send the command from your pager. You can direct the fax to your office fax machine, or send it to your email address where you can open and read the fax on line. 

Faxes sent via SkyTel Fax Advance are also available at the SkyTel Customer Service website. Just log in with your PIN and Security Code, and the fax is ready for your review.

Here's what you'll need: 

  • SkyWord Plus service with SkyReply®. (Your pager must be able to send a reply.) 
  • A SkyTel Personal Access Number (additional charge may apply)
  • A quick set-up on the SkyTel website 

Here's how it works: 
 Your colleague needs to send you a fax. He enters your Personal Access Number on his fax machine and sends. (There are no special numbers to enter, no need to wait for a tone.) 

You receive a message on your pager that a fax has been sent, the number of the sending machine, and the number of pages in the fax.

When you're ready to receive the fax, select "Reply." You'll see two new choices on your Reply list: "Send Fax" and "Send Email." These commands will forward the fax to the fax machine or email address that you've entered at the SkyTel website. 

  • Choose "Send Fax", and the fax will print out on your fax machine. 
  • Choose "Send Email" and the fax will be sent to your email address.
