prompts, or other sounds through the handset on your telephone. This makes it easy for
you to use a calling card to send your fax.
Depending on how the recipient has their fax machine set up, the recipient might answer
the phone, or the fax machine might take the call. If a person answers the phone, you
can speak with the recipient before sending the fax. If a fax machine answers the call,
you can send the fax directly to the fax machine when you hear the fax tones from the
receiving fax machine.
