How do you send an international fax using a calling card?

Question

I want to send an international fax that through my phone line. What I did was connected my phone line to the fax and have my phone connect to the fax. I have a prepaid calling card with an access number and a pin number. Can someone explain in detail what I need to do in what order, when to use the phone to punch in the numbers or use the fax machine to punch in the numbers or what because I don't want to get charged for international fax.

Answer 1

I have a fax with phone (handset and all) and I dial the access number (I use Onesuite.com) just like making a regular call and then dial the number I wish to send my fax. I don't need to dial a PIN because Onesuite recognizes my home phone.

I think its similar with other service not usre though how to do it with a fax without a built in phone. Anyways maybe just dial the access number first on your fax machine or on your phone (if you cant dial on your fax machine) then dial the PIN and the number you wish to send a fax. If your fax machine doesn't sends a fax tone automatically then push a button to send one after the number you dial answers.

Yeah you can put a piece of paper in here, and make like a phone call, and your friend will get another piece of paper with the same picture.
