I cant seem to get my fax software (Windows Fax and Scan, Win7) to not dial +1

Any help appreciated.

Even if i go into dialer properties it still wants to add the +1

How are you even able to use your phone as a fax? This is something I've been trying to figure out how to do..

I'm using Blazingwolf's rom. That shouldnt matter, just a point of refference.

Click on: Start, Settings, System, Data Connection,

(I dont use VZNaccess not sure why it says this.)Then it says Data Connection: To use VZNacess Manager you should select "AS the modem through USAB / Bluetooth.

Click OK

Then choose between:

Internal Data Call

As the modem through USAB

As the modem through Bluetooth.

Sorry i asnwered so slow ;)

Nice, thanks so much! I'll have to try this out tomorrow.

Okay, so this is simply a way to use the phone as a modem for another windows computer to send a fax from that attached PC (like a laptop, for instance).

This is not a way to send and recieve faxes directly from the phone, right? Is there any way to do that?

Right, I just tested it and it works. Just set the phone's data connection to as a modem through USB, then (for me) windows 7 will use your phone as a fax modem to send and receive faxes. I've only sent 3, but it worked for all of them, and I haven't tested receiving a fax yet.

Yeah, I've been sending faxes with it for a while now and it works great! Just like was stated early, set the phone as a Mdem through USB connection and Windows sees it as a just a modem and will natively send faxes through it.

One quirk though, I had a habbit of always adding the "ATZ" (reset) command to the additional commands field on my older modems, but this causes very flakey performance with the Omnia, only about half the faxes work like this. So leave the additional command field blank and it's worked for me 100% of the time with Windows Fax and WinFax Pro.

As far as sending faxes directly from the Omnia, there are 3rd party programs that can do this ( like this: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/win/133781 ), but I've never used any.

Has anyone got this to work with XP? I've set the phone as modem through USB and plugged it into my laptop, but the windows fax console says "Line unavailable". I'd disabled Activesync and was not tethering. Is an extra step required to manually set up the phone as a modem under XP? Any ideas?

For those who have it working, which modem driver does Windows report using? I have SAMSUNG Mobile USB DRIVER (4.40.7.0)v1.6 but I haven't been able to get the PC to recognize the i910 as a fax modem yet. I am using XP rather than 7, which might make this more difficult but shouldn't make it impossible. The driver I'm using came on the original VZAccess Manager CD (version 6.9.7-2165a), but I have not found any more recent drivers.

EDIT: Kept trying, including loading the latest VZAM thinking it might have a newer modem driver. It seems to be the same driver (4.40.7.0), but the Samsung Modem finally appeared in Device Manager.

As far as receiving faxes go, I use maxemail.com. It costs $2 a month and I get a fax number from them. My faxes go to my e-mail in the form of .pdf files so I can view them on my phone or computer. I just pay $24 in a lump sum once a year.

Once in a while I just need to send a fax using my cell phone. Now that I know it's possible using the i910, I'd really like to make it work from my XP laptop. I've captured the modem log for a failed outgoing fax attempt from the laptop through the Omnia (please see below). Any idea what might be wrong? I also tried with a 9600 baud rate, with and without FIFO, but no difference.
