Question 1

Do Montana agencies take documents by fax?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and many still require it for permit applications, public records requests, regulatory filings, and correspondence between offices. Agencies under the Montana Office of the Governor and the Montana Department of Administration look for a delivery confirmation on official submissions, which Send FAX Mail attaches to every send.

Question 2

How does faxing fit Montana public records retention?

Accepted Answer

A fax can fall under the Montana Public Records Act and has to be kept according to the state's records schedules. Send FAX Mail holds complete transmission logs and copies, so an agency can meet the retention and audit expectations the Montana Department of Administration enforces without storing the paper.

Question 3

What does Send FAX Mail cost a Montana government office?

Accepted Answer

Plans start at $12.99 a month, with higher-volume options for larger agencies. Replacing physical machines and dedicated lines across MT offices typically cuts the cost substantially, and you keep a searchable fax history alongside the savings.

Question 4

Can different Montana departments share one account?

Accepted Answer

Yes. An agency can run multiple fax numbers under a single account, choose Montana area codes at no extra charge, and route each number to the right department. When a department's combined volume passes the plan allowance, you move up to a higher tier rather than paying per page.
