Receiving a fax

IST provides a fax service for faculty and staff to receive faxes without having a dedicated fax phone line.

You can receive a fax in a number of different ways:

have your client send the fax to 519-888-4380 with a cover page, clearly indicating for whom it is intended
- this will trigger an incoming email to tsfax@uwaterloo.ca
- Telephone Services will forward via email based on the recipient information provided.
- it is recommended that you alert Telephone Services via tsfax@uwaterloo.ca if you are expecting a document
have a dedicated number that can be directed to an email address
- The Telephone Services admin contact from your department must submit a ticket via Request Tracker to enable this service.
