Question i keep getting faxes with no way of telling what number sent them. Its the ex but again everyone i get it doesn't show what number it came from.
How can that be?
Answer Ralph,
A fax only shows what the sender allows. The USER of the sending fax machine sets up what information, tag line, phone number, greeting, etc. is printed on the fax.
Try adding caller id, and a adjunct display to your fax line, then plug your fax machine into the adjuncts jack.
It should then display the originating number that the fax is being sent from, unless the person uses caller id blocking. You can also try the *69 (star six nine)feature and see who answers.
