fax loses 9 as a prefix


Hi all

I am having a problem with windows ultimate and the windows fax
utility. The windows fax software is is not using my
location IE dial 9 for outside line, I can get it to
work manually but it will not default to the dial 9 option.
Any ideas? Thank you in advance for your help

Re: fax loses 9 as a prefix

Are you saying that you start a new Fax, select your dialing location (rule)
and Fax ignores this?

Re: fax loses 9 as a prefix

Have you entered your Fax contact numbers in Canonical Format?

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=318575
Dialing rules may not be applied to tools such as Fax and Phone Dialer on
Windows XP-based and Windows Vista-based computers

Re: fax loses 9 as a prefix


that was the first thing i checked:-). It is very odd to day the least.
Thank you for all your help. I am thinking uni stalling the fax program
and installing it again. Although i do not know if it is possible as it
is the in-built win vista one. I am taking some time off this problem as
i have have been looking around for a solution a good 3 days 9 hours a
day:-). Thanks for all your help once more

Re: fax loses 9 as a prefix

The Microsoft Fax was never a very good solution for me. It lacks many
features. I am now using Aloaha Fax from www.aloaha.com and I find it really
good.
