I JUST want to use my MOTOROLA V551 as a dial up MODEM for a FAX. Can anybody give me the modem string?

I Googled it but all I get are pages with info trying to conect to internet. All I want to do is fax from Microsoft Fax. Some of the strings will almost work.

The screen lights up on the phone and the number I am dialing appears, but it just disconnects. The Cingular rep and site were no help. Surely someone has this! Please help!!

    If it is a cable or a DSL modem it will not work. They are only for high speed internet.

    When you installed Motorola Phone Tools, it should have configured your dial strings to use the phone as a modem. If it not working, chances are your service does not allow you to mate data calls over the cellular network.
