Ok, I have to offer you my apologies.
I was entering the fax number in the regular phone number field.
I am very sorry for having inconvenienced you.
Sincerely,
Mike Galant

However, I did not actually send the fax - I just wanted to get to the very last screen of the setup so that I could look at the canonical form of the phone number - that way I could enter the number this way in the address book and not have to enter this number manually every time I want to send this recipient (or other UK recipients) a fax. So I wrote down the number in this format and exited the fax wizard.

However, when I enter the number in that format in the address book, and then I try to include this recipient by clicking on "to", the fax program still says that it cannot resolve the number as a fax number.

I also found that maybe the area code is technically 0 (even though it doesn't get dialed when calling the UK from abroad), but again, I came across the same problem.

If anyone out there has sent faxes to London using numbers from their fax address book, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you.
