OK, apparently our voicemail includes "Faxmail" - what's that? Can't find
much detail on the TM site.

If your phone is off, for example, people can send you a fax to your phone
number, which gets stored in your voicemail inbox, and you can set it up so
that from voicemail it is forwarded to another fax number automatically or
as you specify after the fax has been received.

I tried it this morning - no problem and very fast. In VM, you can set
primary fax forward number, secondary, and any other one-time use number.

I was told yesterday, by a TM customer service rep, that call forwarding
costs .35 per minute. It sounds like a nice service, but I won't be using it.

Odd, my plan comes with 500 call forward minutes.

Weird, call forwarding (unconditional) on my plan uses minutes
(anytime, night or weekend depending on the time I use it) or 500
conditional call forwarding minutes. Go figure eh.

Yeah. We saw that on our account on the TM website and said "huh?"

I think the TM CSR was a little confused. I think I'll call and talk to
another CSR because the first CSR didn't explain things clearly at all.

I heard the word "overages" and was told "call forwarding doesn't come out
of your plan minutes but it costs 35c/minute."

We *do* have 500 Conditional Call Forwarding minutes on our plan. CS told my
wife (via email) that we get charged for overages over the 500, but would
that be 35c or 40c/minute? Overages on our 1000 shared anytime minutes are
40c/minute.
