How can I send a picture taken with 7650 to a FAX machine (Operator T-Mobile)???

Thanks, SmoggyCoyote

Don't know how to do it straight from the phone but you can send the picture to your pc then use a program like WINFAX to send the picture from your pc.

But i thought our phone is also a as-called Modem? If its can goes online to wap or check pop3 or IMAP email, I think it can be done right? Correct me if i am wrong.

I also trying to get the phone to be a FAX machine too.... Question... HOW :|

It can be done, I don't know how. The option is in message settings but I haven't got a clue of how to do it.

I have a separate fax line on my SIM chip, and my old 9110 used to receive faxes automatically (yes, I know it wasn't using Symbian/EPOC)...I have moved the SIM to my 7650, and it correctly identifies a fax call as "1 FAX incoming", but then expects you to connecft up to your PC via IRdA to receive it! Anyone who can boot up WinXX on a laptop, connect the IRdA, and get the fax app running in the time it takes to timeout a fax call gets my vote, anyday!! :x

Surely if it recognizes a fax call, it should be easy enough to write a little app to save it (in binary, if necessary - it's only a TIF file, for Gawsakes!) in a file, and then allow sending at a later time to your PC? Or even allow viewing of a TIF file format? Any ideas, MaleBuffy (or other heroic codeslave?) Is this another idea we should pass to Ximplify? Who wrote the letter about memory expansion? Comments, anyone?
