Turn a DID Into a Virtual Fax Line

A DID number doesn't have to be for voice. You can dedicate one to a virtual fax service, so faxes sent to that number are captured and delivered to you electronically rather than printed on paper.

This keeps a fax capability alive for the industries and partners that still rely on it — solicitors, healthcare, government tenders — without keeping an old fax machine and a dedicated analogue line plugged in. Order a separate DID, point it at the fax service, and hand that number out purely for documents while your main DID handles calls.

It's a tidy way to retire legacy hardware while staying reachable by anyone who still faxes.
