[VoiceOps] Strange inbound Calls

[Alexander Lopez]

I would suggest against transferring the call to a fax, if you do, you have just added your voice number to a junk fax list.

by a person you usually hear a series of beeps.

Try forwarding a dead-air call to a fax machine if you can, see if you
get a junk fax.
