| Fax in the US
Most of the fax machines in the USA cannot make international calls. No USA fax number, no faxed orders.
Although, thanks mostly to email, there are less and less fax machines, this means of communication is still extensively used as an essential part of purchasing systems used by many companies and most public sector organizations.
Brainboxes discovered that and emailed to ExportAction, "Last week we completed the signing of Terms & Conditions with Ingram Micro (the world's largest technology distributor with annual revenues approaching $30 billion). Their ordering process is by fax. They can only fax a ten digit number - ie they cannot fax an order to the UK.
"
When Manoj Patel of UES received the message, "We are trying to purchase 20 copies (of your software product) for the Oklahoma State Department of Education. My purchasing people must have a Federal Tax ID for you, or this won't happen." - it arrived by fax.
ExportAction clients with USA fax numbers receive incoming fax communications directly in their email inbox.
