Trouble sending faxes

If you find yourself having difficulty in sending faxes then you should check this guide.

When you send a fax to us, you should be sending an email to our fax domain (fax.soho66.co.uk). When we encounter an error, we will reply to you with details and a suggested corrective action.

Notifications take the following form

Notification received: Not enough credit

Unlike receiving faxes, sending faxes is a chargeable service on a per fax basis. You have to either subscribe to an outbound fax plan or add call credit to your account to allow for sending of faxes.

To add call credit, login at My Soho >> Login and then click on My Account. There is a link on that page to add fax/call credit

To subscribe to a fax plan, login at My Soho >> Login and then click on My Services >> My Numbers. Click on add a new number, you don't need to add a number here, but can simply add an outbound fax service.

Notification received: Error converting document

If you receive this notification then we have encountered some difficulty in converting your document to a faxable form. Please check our list of supported formats in the Help FAQs section of the site.

Notification received: Nothing to fax

When you send faxes through our service, this works by you attaching a document to your email as an attachment. If our service finds no suitable attachment it will give up and reply with this message. The exception to this is if you've enabled cover pages on your account, where an email with no attachments will be faxed, with just a cover page containing the body of the email. See the getting started section of the forum for details on cover pages.

I'm not receiving any notifications or my email is bouncing

If you do not receive any notifications at all when sending a fax then please check the following:

1. Are your notifications going to your spam folder?
2. Are you sending your emails to the correct place. All faxes need to go to our fax domain (fax.soho66.co.uk)
3. It is possible that you ISP is blocking the notification altogether as SPAM before it even gets to you; you can check with them or contact us if you think this may be the case.
