Intermedia SmartMessage Tutorial

Managing Faxes

Your Intermedia SmartMessage acts as your fax machine for incoming faxes. Callers send faxes to your Intermedia SmartMessage, which recognizes the call as a fax and stores it for you. You may then access the fax via the Web. Faxing Highlights:

  • SmartMessage will store a maximum of 256 faxes before becoming full and rejecting incoming faxes. Make sure to delete unwanted faxes.
  • SmartMessage will store your faxes for 90 days before automatically deleting faxes older than 90 days.
  • Forward received faxes to any fax machine via the web
  • View faxes via your Web account in a variety of formats.
  • Forward received faxes via email
