CallTrackingMetrics Faxing Service

Faxing is available on Marketing Pro, Sales Engage, Enterprise, Performance, Growth, and Connect plans.

Note: Tracking numbers can be used for fax or voice, but not both simultaneously.

 

Enabling a Fax Number

To send or receive a fax, you will need to enable a Fax number.

  • To use faxing, you will need to have a fax-enabled phone number.  To buy a fax-enabled number, go to the Buy Numbers page.  The fax-enabled phone numbers have a checkmark.

Note:

  • Tracking numbers can be used for fax or voice, but not both simultaneously. 
  • Once you set up a fax number, it can no longer receive voice calls (until you switch it back by going to the fax numbers page and reactivating it as a voice number). 
  • Once you switch the number to a voice number, a prompt will appear telling you that you can no longer receive faxes. 
  • The file size limit for faxes is 50MB or 350 pages.
