Why do so many people in this industry have fucked up.....
 

...Fax machines?

I've tried sending 17 faxes over the last week or so and only 4 of them went through.

Strangely enough, The 4 that went through were all Canadian companies and the other 13 we US.

Go figure.

Aaron. Man am I glad to see that you are over your heart attack, and cured of being dead.

And I know the feeling about the fax. Wait until you have to try to fax to mexico.

I agree I hate fax machines and usually the people that want you to use them you have to fax 15 pages too

Blame canada! :P

Sometime the ring tone fuck up... but 13 times in a row? hmm :1orglaugh

I might expect that in Mexico but not one single US company that I attempted to fax to this last week has had a decent fax machine or connection.

And I'm not talking about somebody running a business out of a shed in their back yard. Very large and successful companies for the most part.

13 is a problem

Oh no...13 DIFFERENT companies. At least 2 attempt per company.

Same problem here, usually it's the processors who have the fucked up machines.

It's aaaallllliiiiiiive.

:thumbsup

I had a problem with CCBill a few months back but they gave me a secondary fax line to try and that worked out fine.

Cool. Do you have a backup line for Epoch?

Nothing but the fax, ma'am
 

Fax machines. How quaint. I thought people nowadays just scanned stuff and attached it to e-mail.

Seriously, what do you use fax machines for?

ADG Webmaster

Yeah...It's called 123bill.com

Believe it or not.....For faxing.

Who runs that?

Business associate told this company to stop FAXing him, take him off their list. They didn't and kept sending. So he looped the paper, "take me off your fax list!" and began the send mode after the company had closed for the night. :321GFY Next morning the receiver's machine was out of paper and they had about two hundred feed of message on their floor, "take me off your fax list.!"

They called him, apologised and immediately removed him from their list! :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh Point was made.

Ok now pay attention, first you enter the "AREA CODE" and thennnnnn the number - got it?! :thumbsup

oh man, i will have to remember that one...fucking awesome

Ah, nevermind then. I saw one of his techs once, they put on a dunce show for us on a show floor, never looked back at anything he is involved in.

Faxing - yet another way to get spammed in a day! It's really amazing. At least with junk email it doesn't use up my paper!

I've learned to love e-faxes - clean, neat and quiet!

Don't feel bad, I tried to fax papers to my attorney (this is a law firm in a penthouse, not just any guy who just graduated from college), and their fax machine did work. So I called their secretary who told me that until the afternoon it wouldn't work (waitingon the tech). So she gave me the number to their other office.
I faxed the papers there, and same story!
The freaking fax didn't work there either.
WTF? Is $39 for a backup fax machine to much too ask, from an attorney who is charging my wife 7K to fix some paperwork?

I often leave my fax unplugged because of the sheer volume of the fax spam I get. If someone really needs to get something to me, they'll call me first. If its unsolicited, chances are I don't want their fax...

Drama thread. :thumbsup

Faxes are so 80`s.

I used fax machines a couple of times, and i really hate it.

Sorry to hear of your non-fatal heart attack Aaron.

Better luck next time :thumbsup

Regards,

Lee

I know it's hard for people to believe that their fax machine is not working correctly. In one office I was at, our fax needed a BIOS update...and it took 2 months of not getting faxes for anybody to take me seriously when I said our fax wasn't receiving.

That's OK Lee. I was even more sorry to hear about your failed abortion.

I gave up on fax machines

try sending a fax from moscow
i thought my uk fax machine was bad - here its the lines

its like trying to piss through the eye of a needle

Another hate Canada thread? :1orglaugh

13 faxes fucking up? Ever think maybe it's your fax machine that's broken?

Ah.....I guess that would explain why it works internationally and not locally. :thumbsup


Yes, I considered that. So I actually took it in and exchanged it since it was a fairly new machine.

Same results.

Even tried using it on a different phone line instead of Vonage.

Same thing.

Yet...again....The Vonage line faxing to Canada worked just fine.

I'm gonna have to chalk it up to Canadians being smarter than the average American.

hmmm, that's fucked up.

use telex.
