BlackBerry® Curve™

[JmsRyan]

I have been able to use virtually every previous cellular phone as a tethered fax/modem to my PC.  I am not wanting to use it for Internet access - but, rather to send faxes.

I have tried several different methods.  None of which work.  Most threads detail using the 8330 to connect to the Internet.

Any suggestions on how I can use this to send faxes from my PC?

Thanks!

You need any third application to do it

you can visit www.handango.com

These packages seem to fax from the Blackberry to an Internet Fax server...not using the Blackberry as a fax/modem.  The LG I had you could plug into the PC and it would be recognized as a Fax/modem device and faxes could be sent from Outlook, or a Fax program.

That is what I am trying to do.

I have a similar situation.  I am trying to connect to remote router that is connected to a USRobotics modem through a regular phone line.  Is it posible to use my BOLD like a true modem to call the USR and start a terminal session?  I am interested in connecting to an Internet provider's APN.

I finally was able to talk to a technician at Verizon.  He said the Storm is the only Blackberry that can be used as a fax/modem.  True or not, it slows my search.  Don't necessarily want a Storm, and don't fax too often.

has any one been able to make this work on the curve 8330? I would love to be able to turn off my land line.

Hi there,

Did you get any solution to this problem?

I have the same situation:

Triying to use my torch 9800 as a fax/modem to send faxes to land lines through "Windows Fax and Scan" application.

Apparently WFS can't communicate with my torch 9800 to make the fax call.

Many thanks in advance
