To RECEIVE a Fax (Incoming fax):
When signing up for service with E Street, E Street will assign you a local or a toll-free fax number.
Porting: You also have the option to port over your existing fax number. NOTE: customers porting in Fax numbers own their numbers and can port the number back out, but NEW Fax TNs issued by E Street are owned by E Street TN vendors and cannot be ported out.
You just give out your fax number like normal. When the sender faxes a document to you, it will appear in your inbox just like any other email.
1. Someone faxes your personal fax # just like normal
2. The Fax gets converted to a PDF or TIFF image
3. Image is sent as an attachment into your email inbox
4. Double click and view
