yes, i use an older fax with a handset and it works just the same as it did when I had a regular phone. Just make sure you have it plugged in to the magicjack.

I found this link form Magicjack support, which says you can fax but you have to deal with your computer and router firewalls. I would add that contrary to marketing hype, there are many U.S. numbers you can't call without buying minutes. I have to use my cell phone to call my kids school, teleconference lines, etc. If the fax you want to send to is part of an office system Magicjack might not let your call through. http://www.magicjacksupport.com/magic-jack-fax-you-can-do-it-t10706.html

I have used it to fax, both receive and send. Biggest problem with MJ is that calls from some INCOMING numbers are blocked - of course you don't know this unless you are told by a caller who reaches you another way.

I am able to. I unplug the phone cord from my regular phone and plug it into the fax machine when I want to send a fax. When I'm done, I simply switch the cord back to my phone. I have a HP 1040 Fax machine. I could leave the cord plugged into my fax machine as it has a handset on it, but I prefer to use my regular cordless phone.

I fax with it all the time. Your biggest issue is going to be internet connection quality. If you have cable should be fine, radio internet, DSL, or shared connections, all bets are off.

I haven't used my fax for years but their site says you can fax, go to "http://magicjack.com/faq/"

I have never tried faxing with magic jack plus so I am not sure. But there is Nettalk that is similar to magic jack and it's fax friendly.

Can you be just a bit more specific? This device is a modem... and requires dial tone to operate... connecting it directly to the fax's line port will not provide dial tone, and thus will not operate the fax. doesn't the fax have a usb port to connect to your computer with via a usb cable? You need a telephone line connected directly to the fax on it's line port. let me know if this answers your question...

My parents just bought this printer, but haven't installed it yet. Is this fax still free? The review comment state conflicting statements about that.Also, if it's only for sending 20, and receiving 20 faxes per month. Does that count all the spam faxes? I have an old free account with efax, and am always getting spam/scammer efax's. I don't even view them anymore because of it.

You probably have it on manual, which is what I use because I use the same phone line for my answering machine and talking. To get a fax in manual I tell the people sending a fax to contact me just before sending the fax. Then you need to make sure the power is on, and when they send the fax hit the "hook" button which answers the phone so the fax machine can take the fax, then you can turn the machine off. If you have a second phone line you can put the fax machine on that phone line input and put the machine on automatic. The cartridges are a bit expensive but their are refill companies that refill the empty cartridges for about $30. They usually just take your empty cartridge and give you one that has been already refilled.

Sorry I'm not sure about that - we rarely receive faxes so they come in as received. You might download the manual and check there. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Efax has been a joke as it is. I have had one of their numbers for my PC and constantly get spam or fake faxes. I shouldn't even be receiving any considering I haven't given anyone my fax number. I assume they would count these fake faxes towards your total on this printer.I'm afraid to even open them on my computer anymore due to reports of it containing a trojan.

First you need to have a phone line plugged into the machine. Then you need to set up the machine per the manual to receive the faxes. This can be done automatically or manually and many things factor into how you set it up ie do you have a dedicated line for the fax or is it you landline for other uses. Do have answering machine on same line? Will you be there to receive the fax ? There are lots of variables.

Hello niki deen: The only phone line you need to connect incoming house ( Lan line) to printer only. Faxes can be transmitted to printer wirelessly. No need to connect phone lines to computers ounce you have set up the printer wireless. You are lucky because the new printers make you pay for faxes sent and rececieved. I do not know how it works receiving faxes though from other places. I think you need to have a fax line number for that. It cost money. You can send out free faxes no problem. That is how I use my printer when sending faxes. Almost all places now use regular e-mails now. Fax machines are becomming a thing of the pass. It is nice to have one when you need it to send out a fax. Hello niki deen: The only phone line you need to connect incoming house ( Lan line) to printer only.

Fax works fine, it will give you the option to print or not. also works with distinctive ring tone if you have the machine connected to one phone line. Wi-fi work great as well. Excellent value for the price.

It works sometimes. It always works sending. But about half the time I get an error on incoming faxes.

i don't think so, i believe you have to take your magicjack with you and forward the local # that was given to you. login to your account and do a text talk with the tech support.

I do not use the fax option either, but I have a dedicated phone line and the machine is connected to it. Why don't you call Brother directly? I found them very helpful with another set up question.

Yes I am able to fax from my computer as well as receive faxes from other fax senders. Have tried other usb fax plug-in (from walk in store) but only this particular US Robotics model is consistently able to hang up at the end of all transmissions.

It would depend. If you are asking if you can connect to a FAX line, yes they are just telephone lines typically. If you want both the FAX and the Base connected, I would get a splitter that turns one jack into two telephone jacks, and plug the FAX into one side and the phone into the other. Some research needs to be done to see how to set the FAX and phone to share the line. Many FAX machines or phones can be set to determine what type of call is incoming.
