VOIP Service Providers T.38

Created by: megacz,Last modification on Sun 31 of May, 2009 [13:42 UTC] by logicvoice
This page serves to maintain a list of VoIP providers who offer T.38 origination/termination.

Confirmed

Do not add a provider to this list unless the provider explicitly advertises support for T.38 on their website (not just "fax support"). Please be aware that many providers which do not support T.38 will nonetheless list "T.38 support" as one of the features of the ATA's they sell. This does not count, and these providers do not belong on this list.

  • Alldaytalk - Support T.38 Fax Residential Broadband phone service provider.
  • ContactTel Inbound DID's 100% T38 ,Pay as you go , or 9.95 monthly plan

The following providers offer T.38, but only at the wholesale level (they will not sell to retail customers and do not post pricing):
  • Broadvox GO! SIP Trunking - Several multi-line SIP Trunking plans to choose from. All support T.38 faxing.
  • Broadvox Wholesale - Competitive wholesale VoIP Origination and Termination pricing. Supports T.38 faxing.

Note: The "linkable confirmed experience" critera was removed since many providers who offer T.38 but do not advertise it (such as BroadVox) change their level of support over time.

Alternatives


  • SatFax Networks (Canada) - SatFax Networks has a new method for fax over VoIP that is more reliable than using standard T.38. SatFax Fax Terminal Adapters will work over any form of High Speed Internet connection including Wireless Internet, Cellular Internet, and all bands of Satellite Internet services.
  • ZCarrier Inc. ZCarrier Full T.38 support. SIP/H323, Wholesale VoIP Provider

Crippled

  • Packet8 (United States) - Packet8 now support T.38 faxing service, although only with the provider-supplied ATA device ("The Packet8 fax plans are currently only available to Packet8 existing customers who purchase a new BPA410 phone adapter for Fax Extension"). For more info. Click Here.
  • BroadVox Direct (residential offering, no longer offered) has T.38 support which was once reported to work with t38modem, but will no longer work with new accounts. You need a cryptographic credential which is entombed in the ATA they ship you, and the company is quite stubborn about never releasing that credential to the customer. So, basically, it's only T.38 if you use their ATA, and they're doing their darndest to use crypto to keep it that way.
  • Draytel (UK) - acknowledged in their FAQ that they support t.38 fax relay. In conjunction with a HT386 and an SPA-2102, I have used them without any problems to transmit faxes to the US. Rate is about $0.02 per minute, pay as you go. You can test it for free (no commitment) with a two port FXS T.38 compliant ATA (HT386, SPA2102) and two different draytel accounts. Update (June 2007) DrayTEL has confirmed that they do not support T.38 on PSTN calls (see comment below)

Rumored

If you can provide a link to the provider's website indicating T.38 support for any of these entries, move it to the first list and link the evidence. If you can disconfirm, move them to the next list and include the date tested. Providers who claim that T.38 is coming "real soon now" should be disconfirmed due to the fact that almost all of those who make this claim remain in this state indefinitely.

  • ComCanada Communications CRTC Registered, Provider of Hosted PBX, DID service, Toll Free, equipment sales, consulting, and retail/wholesale origination & termination. T.38 Supported ( but no confirmation). 1-877-697-VOIP
  • MondoTalk - World wide T.38 support. Inbound and Outbound. Clear quality, Low rates. Call plans for many countries including utimed calls for Australia. No access fees, No contracts, No cancellation fees, No flag falls and No Connection fees. Too many features to mention here. (no mention of T.38 anywhere on their site)
  • FreeDigits (United States) - Rumored outbound-only support for T.38 SIP through faxdigits.com server ("recommends T.38-compatible adapter for outbound" but does not promise T.38 support). inbound faxes are converted to .pdf e-mail attach by the server
  • Lingo
  • Iristel website indicates that their adapters include T.38 support, but does not state that the service actually includes it. 100% Canadian Telephone Company. Unlimited Extended plan from $15.95. Iristel seamlessly bridges the gap between IP networks and the PSTN. Iristel's VoIP solution is ideal for Calling Card, VoIP carriers, CLEC's, Asterisk owners and virtual carriers requiring local service within Canada. Iristel also offers virtual T.38 faxing solutions both inbound & outbound.
  • Gradwell - UK provider, website states that faxing is possible with a Sipura SPA 2002 and Peter Gradwell informs me that their SIP termination service supports it (and it is untested with their IAX termination service).

Disconfirmed

  • teliax
  • iaxtel
  • VoiceMeUp
  • Talkin2ya/Budgetphone (Netherlands) - say in their FAQ (in Dutch) that they support t.38 fax relay, however, a call to their help desk (december 2006) revealed that they do not support T38, in spite of what is mentioned their FAQ.

Wanted

  • Providers offering both IAX-voice and T.38 (ie T.38 over SIP or H.323 — not necessarily over IAX)
  • Telecomservice (Austria) SIP/IAX2 provider, Austrian geo-numbers, PBX services, T38-Fax, PRI and BRI interface for existing PBX integration
  • Pay-As-You-Go providers with T.38

333Gafachi T.38 support

by Ransak, Wednesday 02 of January, 2008 [05:43:23 UTC]
I can confirm Gafachi's T.38 support works with using Asterisk T.38 passthrough and a Linksys 3102 ATA (as of Dec 07 anyway).

333Premier Voice...not so premier

by kevinlee83, Tuesday 09 of October, 2007 [19:53:17 UTC]
Customer support absolutely lacking. From the first day I started the "test" account process to today it has been just over a month we still cannot terminate properly. I've sent e-mails left voicemails and have received no support. I would highly recommend everyone to not use them.

333Bandwidth.com

by Zion800, Thursday 04 of October, 2007 [20:30:16 UTC]
I use Bandwidth.com for all of my clients, and have requested T.38 support form them several times.

They just notified me that they have plans on releasing T.38 in the "near future." My guess is that it will be around December, which is when they are doing some system changes.

333Gafachi not 100% T.38 - Support Lacking

by richardyoo, Friday 07 of September, 2007 [23:25:42 UTC]
Gafachi informed me that they don't support Linksys (ie, Cisco) TA's doing T.38... even though the TA's work fine delivering T.38 at other providers. I've also read that other people are having issues getting T.38 working 100% so it doesn't seem to be an isolated incident. Furthermore their tech support needs a little polish as they couldn't debug my SIP calls at all and I finally had to send them a pcap file from Wireshark before they agreed there was a problem. So just a heads up that it seems like they're doing a "best effort" delivery of T.38 and not really supporting it 100%. Currently, I'm waiting to see if they'll refund my money since they can't deliver what I paid for. sigh

YMMV.

Sorry, BobTheCat; we get a lot of spam here and your original posting had a whole lot of non-T38-related stuff. Particularly the mention of fax2pdf — you wouldn't believe how many companies think that this is the same thing as T.38. Anyways, looks like you guys do advertise support for it; sorry for the confusion.

333DrayTEL do not support T.38

by sla, Friday 15 of June, 2007 [08:33:56 UTC]
DrayTELs answer to my question on T.38 support:

For a SIP to SIP call if both SIP devices support T.38 then a fax can
be sent using T.38. We don't support T.38 on our incoming/outgoing
PSTN calls.

Regards,

333Draytel?

by sskracic, Wednesday 08 of March, 2006 [14:36:41 UTC]
In Draytel's <a href="http://www.draytel.org/user_guide.html#fax">User Guide</a> it's stated they support T.38. They are a pay-as-you-go VoIP provider with average termination prices and 1p billing increment. Anyone tried to verify their claims? I've signed up for an account with them, and here's the excerpt from my device logs (I'm using Fritz! box fon 7050 which has experimental, non-documented T.38 support):
Mar  8 15:31:24 voipd[1293]: call to sip:004456000xxxxx@draytel.org established
Mar  8 15:31:24 voipd[1293]: >>>udp Request: ACK sip:004456000xxxxx@217.14.132.166
Mar  8 15:31:28 voipd[1293]: fax tone detected, tones 0, ms 6083
Mar  8 15:31:30 voipd[1293]: fax tone off, tones 0, ms 2546
Mar  8 15:31:30 voipd[1293]: switch to T.38
