If you want to receive
data and/or fax via GSM, you must get and use the incoming numbers
provided by your GSM network. You will thus have separate incoming
numbers for Voice (your current cellphone number), Data at
9,600 baud, Data
at 2,400 baud, and Fax at 9,600 baud.
Someone sending you data or fax will thus have to dial one of these
incoming numbers to do so. To send you a fax via GSM, they must thus use
your incoming fax number etc.
The reason for this additional numbering that not all the analogue
fixed-line exchanges/switches can process and route the digital data that
the digitally-based GSM networks and cellphones use.
Thus the digital data must be fed through an
appropriate incoming voice, data, or fax number.
