Receiving Fax and Data Calls
The procedure for receiving fax and data calls depends on
your network and subscription. If you have different num-
bers for speech, fax and data calls, this is referred to as multi
numbering. This means that you can have up to three numbers
in your subscription. If you only have one number for all call
types, this is referred to as single numbering.
