Can I still use my fax machine with Vonage?

April 19th, 2010 - Posted by Tasha

The following is an actual user-submitted question:

Q:  Can I still use my fax machine with Vonage?

A: Yes, you can use your fax machine with Vonage.  Once you've signed up for Vonage, you'll receive the Vonage V-Portal in the mail.  If you have a single Vonage line, just plug your fax machine into Phone Port 1 on the back of the V-Portal and it's connected.

Having a single line means that you'll be sharing your fax line with your phone line, just like you would on a regular land line.  For example, if you're on the phone you won't be able to receive or send faxes and if you're using the fax you won't be able to talk on the phone.  However, since most people don't fax that often this will probably work for you.

If you need a dedicated fax line, there are a couple of options.  Residential customers taking advantage of the current Vonage World deal of $14.99/month can add-on a dedicated fax line for $9.99/month. Vonage business customers have a dedicated fax line included in their subscription.   For additional fax questions or plain old Vonage questions, Vonage is just a toll-free call away at 888-692-8076.
