Prepaid is also big because it's easy to get into. Faxmail One of the newer enhanced services is faxmail. With faxmail, a subscriber can have a single mailbox with a unique phone number, to which anyone can direct fax documents. There's no way for callers to tell that it's not an ordinary fax machine destination, which can be important to companies run from a road warrior's briefcase. Faxmail is a great service for anyone who needs to be able to receive faxes without having an office or central site to host a fax machine.
Subscribers can pick up their faxes in any of several ways, depending on the nature of the service.
The simplest is via fax forwarding, where the subscriber dials in and tells the system to refax the documents downstream. Other systems might forward the faxes as e-mail attachments. Conferencing Most telcos offer conference calling as an extra-cost option. The problem is that conferencing can only be done from the subscriber line, and the extra costs can be weighty. A relatively new enhanced service, usually offered in conjunction with prepaid voicemail, is prepaid conference calling.
