Problems Sending a Fax

Faxes should be sent in the following format: XXX@fax.usomo.co.uk where XXX is the Fax Number you'd like to send your content to.

If the fax fails, you will receive one of the following errors:

This user is not approved to send faxes through Usomo

This simply means that the email address you have used to send the fax from isn't registered to send faxes on your account. This is easily rectified:

Sign in to Your Account > My Fax Users > New Authorised Sender.

Once the account has been added, they will be able to send faxes.

Not Enough Credit

Whereas receiving faxes is free, to send faxes you'll either need to add credit to use our pay as you go option, or subscribe to a fax plan.

To add Credit, Log in to Your Account > Add Fax/Call Credit.

To add a Call Plan, Log in to Your Account > My Telephone Numbers > Add New Number > Add Fax Service (This process doesn't add a new number.
