XOIP and your incoming fax messages

You can receive your faxes on your personal XOIP telephone number . If you receive a lot of faxes, you can set your number to ‘fax only’. It is also possible to receive faxes at your home number by switching your phone to XOIP. You can even use XOIP as a scanner by faxing documents to your own XOIP number!

XOIP Voicemail and forwarded calls.

XOIP Voicemail takes your messages while you are unavailable. If you transfer your calls to your mobile phone or Skype, XOIP Voicemail records a message if you do not answer. It is even possible to receive an XOIP message on your email.

Transferring your XOIP number to Skype is also possible. This is free. Callers pay the normal rates.

In general, you can listen to and manage your voicemail by calling your own XOIP number.

XOIP and social media

With the social media function it is easy to record messages via your XOIP number. This is possible everywhere. You then share them with your network on Facebook or Twitter.

Finally, some general tips for XOIP use. 

Establish a virtual office in the Netherlands. Your customers call with a Dutch number, while you take the calls via Skype at your foreign location.

A fixed line is no longer necessary after purchasing an XOIP number. Save the monthly costs and use an XOIP number and answer your calls with Skype.

XOIP offers you various packages . For example, there is an XOIP Basic package, an XOIP Plus package and an XOIP local package.

The service of the XOIP Basic package and the XOIP Plus package is free. You do not pay any subscription costs. And the costs of the calls are paid by the caller.

You can forward your XOIP Basic numbers and XOIP Plus numbers to landline and mobile phones. More information about the cost of diverting you here find. By the way, you can add as many numbers as you want to the two packages mentioned above. This will not cost you anything extra. However, the numbers in the XOIP Basic package cannot be converted to an XOIP Plus number in the XOIP Plus package and vice versa.

However, the XOIP Plus package offers an additional benefit. With the XOIP Plus package you can save XOIP credit with every incoming fax page that you receive. With this credit you can send faxes again. This is therefore not possible with an XOIP Basic package. You can purchase credit with both packages mentioned .

Finally, you can also subscribe to a local XOIP number in your own place of residence. Your local XOIP number has the same area code as your regular telephone number in your place of residence. Callers also pay the regular rates for calling to a domestic number.

With the local XOIP number you can also receive faxes and voicemails via e-mail and use all other XOIP functionality. As for the transfer to landline and mobile phones. Click here for more information about the costs of forwarding.

All XOIP numbers are issued under the General Terms and Conditions.

There are a number of differences between porting and transferring numbers to XOIP. You can read a brief overview of this in the blog below.

For example, XOIP can take over your current fax number. This takes around 5-7 business days. It is important that you take an XOIP subscription for at least one year for this acquisition . If you want to port a number from an ISDN2 subscription, XOIP must copy all numbers from this subscription. If this is the case, you are requested to inform XOIP of this.

All XOIP services are available on ported numbers. However, after porting your former number is no longer available. Faxes and voicemail messages are sent to your e-mail. This will save you the costs that your existing telecom provider will charge if, for example, your telephone is diverted.

You can use XOIP as a voicemail and fax service when your numbers are forwarded to XOIP. This option applies to both private and business numbers. When someone calls you, your telecom company forwards this call to your XOIP number. Your telecom company charges costs for this. These are the same  costs that you would pay if you called your XOIP number from your phone. The person calling you pays the regular costs of a call to your telephone. You therefore pay the calling costs to your XOIP number.

You can also use XOIP to replace your mobile operator ‘s voicemail service . An interesting advantage is that, for example, you can listen to the messages that have been left on your mobile phone abroad via e-mail. You do not pay the high roaming costs.

By transferring your number to Skype , XOIP first tries to connect the call. If no connection is established, the call is forwarded to voicemail. If you do not forward your calls, XOIP automatically records voicemail for you.

Having your fax number taken over by XOIP takes around 5-7 business days. To do this, you will need to sign up for a one-year, or longer, XOIP subscription. If a number needs to be ported from an ISDN2-subscription, XOIP needs to take over all numbers from this registration. If this is the case, you will need to send a message to [email protected]. They will forward you the necessary information.

All XOIP services are available on ported numbers. After porting your number will no longer be available for use with your own fax machine or phone. Faxes and voicemail messages are forwarded to your email. You can find more information here.
