Home Frequently Asked QuestionsFrequently Asked QuestionsQ: How does a fax service work?
With the outsourced fax service provided by ISC International Limited, you send and receive faxes, SMS (text messages), telex and broadcast messages via e-mail. You simply create an email, attach a file and click "send". ISC electronically converts email to fax and delivers it to one or many recipients. We support many e-mail clients including: - Outlook and Outlook Express
- Lotus Notes
- Web-based e-mail
In addition to desktop/mobile faxing, ISC also offers application faxing. With it, data stored in a customer's application can be sent directly to ISC in text format, SMTP or FTP. Once received, ISC converts that data to a custom-formatted, outbound electronic fax. Q: How will I know if my message was delivered?
You will receive an email confirmation that your fax or telex was successfully delivered. If your fax or telex was not delivered, you will be notified by email. With ISC's Web Administration tool, you can monitor and manage the details of your company's messaging traffic. - View message activity in real time
- Get fax delivery confirmation
- Find canceled faxes and see the reason why each was canceled
- Resend canceled faxes
- View fax images
