Faxing with Voradian

Faxing with Voradian

Faxing with Voradian IP-Fax Platform is reliable and easy. There are three ways to send and receive fax documents using Voradian Instant Fax Service.

• Instant Fax Portal
• Email-to-Fax
• Instant Fax ATA

While it may be possible to send and receive fax using a SIP ATA, we only support faxing with a SIP ATA on a best effort basis.

Because fax machines rely on the analog representation of a digital signal (what you hear as a "fax tone") they are susceptible to deviations in the fax data transmission. In practice, this means that faxes are often interrupted by jitter and latency in the last mile (the portion of the call path between the switch and the end user's fax machine). This level of unreliability causes most VoIP service providers to avoid deploying faxes using SIP ATAs.

We strongly recommend that our customers deploy faxing using the Voradian Instant Fax ATA. Use of the Instant Fax ATA requires you to purchase a proprietary fax ATA from Voradian. To place an order, please go to our online Support Center and submit a ticket directed to Sales or contact a Voradian sales/ account representative.

It is not possible to Fax on Voradian fax platform with a BYOT Number. The DID must be active through Voradian in order to use any of our faxing methods. It is also not possible in our system to have both services of calls and faxes to a single DID or telephone number.

Faxing with Voradian gives you many benefits over traditional fax machines such as the flexibility to send and receive fax from anywhere with an internet connection, ability to send multi-destination faxes simultaneously by more than one person, including savings on paper, toner, energy, maintenance and repairs.
