How can I send fax documents via the FRITZ!Box?
Send fax documents via the FRITZ!Box and sipgate – set up the fax device on the FRITZ!Box.
As an alternative to our web fax, you can also transmit your fax documents via your own fax machine connected through a FRITZ!Box, or via the integrated fax function of the FRITZ!Box.
For successful fax transmission via your FRITZ!Box, you must have stored your fax number in your FRITZ!Box. We have personalized configuration instructions for setup here stored.
