SYMPTOMS
========

When you try to send a fax using Microsoft Fax, you may not dial the complete
phone number. For example, if you are dialing 555-1212, Microsoft Fax dials only
555-121.

CAUSE
=====

This issue can occur because there is a limit of the number of characters that
the fax header can contain. The To box and the "Phone number" box can contain a
combined total of 56 characters. Any spaces in these boxes are counted as
characters.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this issue, use less characters in the To box of your fax message.
