It normally means that during dialing you may have made a slight pause between the digits. Please make sure you do not hesitate or make any pauses when you dial your numbers. Do not wait for a dial tone after dialing 10-10-710. Dial as you normally would, the same as if you were dialing a very long number.
Can I use your services for sending faxes?
Absolutely. You dial the same way as per a regular call, you only have to dial 10-10-710 then 1 or 011 and the number, and press send.
