Frequently Asked Questions

Can I keep my existing fax number with XMediusFAX?

Yes, you can!  If you currently have an existing fax number for an analog fax line, you can submit a request to the help desk and ITS will create a ticket with AT&T to have your existing fax number ported over so that it can be used with the XMediusFAX online fax program.

I don't have an existing analog fax line.  Can I still use the XMediusFAX software?

Yes!  If you are in need of a new fax line, it is actually quicker for ITS to configure one for you as opposed to having an existing line ported.  Please submit a help desk ticket and we will get started.
