Support is on its way.
What’s next?
By receiving technical support services from us you agree to the terms and conditions outlined in the Technical Support Agreement. Per-incident support is offered Monday through Friday during normal business hours of 8 AM – 4 PM Pacific Time. If weekend support or after-hours support is required, prior authorization must be coordinated through Customer Service at an agreed rate. GetFaxing.com will attempt to provide you services over a live chat session, remotely over the Internet and/or by e-mail. GetFaxing.com does not provide telephone support services, and a technician will not call you prior to your scheduled service. Support service may not always be available in your time zone or geographic location. Support service may not always be available due to technician availability, Internet service disruptions or Web site system maintenance.
Important
Our remote service works with high-speed Internet access. We recommend you download and test our on-demand Remote Access Tool on the computer we will be connecting to before your actual remote session. The Remote Access Tool will generate 2 session codes (Computer ID and Access Code) and underneath this, you should see a ‘Ready for connection‘ message. The Remote Access Tool can be downloaded using the link provided in your support purchase e-mail.
How to prepare for remote assistance
Follow the steps below to prepare for your remote assistance session.
- Schedule an appointment
If you have scheduled a time, go to the next step ‘Download and test the remote support tool’.
To schedule remote support service, contact us via e-mail or chat. The Chat button/icon should appear on this Web site or on the Contact Us page when we are on-line and available.
If there is no Chat button/icon, you can e-mail us. If you have scheduled a time with a technician or customer support, you can skip this step and proceed to downloading the Remote Support Tool (see link in your order e-mail, or contact support for link) - Download and test the Remote Access Tool
To connect to your computer for remote access we require you to download and run a small executable file. This will allow the technician to connect to you. This program does not install any software on your computer and to connect it requires two unique codes that you supply to the technician. The remote access tool can be downloaded via the link supplied within your order e-mail. If you cannot locate the download link, contact support via chat or e-mail for assistance.
When you start the Remote Access Tool, it will display a session code (Computer ID and Access Code) and a message “Waiting for connection”. If you see this message, your Remote Access Tool is working. You can now close the Remote Tool program after confirming the software is working. Each time you start the Remote Access Tool, a new session code is displayed.
NOTE: Some firewalls may present a warning message regarding an incoming or outgoing connection using our Remote Access Tool. In this event, you need to accept/allow the connection.
- Connect at your scheduled appointment time.
Start the Remote Access Tool. Your session codes (Computer ID and Access Code) are displayed. Provide this to the technician via e-mail or chat at your scheduled appointment time. The Chat button/icon should appear on this Web site near the bottom right corner of the page, or on the Contact Us page. If there is no Chat button/icon, you can e-mail us the session codes.
Important: If you close and restart the Remote Access Tool at any time before the connection, the session codes will change, and you will be required to provide the new session codes to the technician.

Remote Support FAQ
It is recommended you have an active chat window open so you can communicate with the technician prior and during the remote connection. If you have not already done so, start a chat with a technician using the chat button prior to or at your scheduled session time. The technician will provide you a link to the Remote software. You can provide the technician with the session codes to access your computer. If successfully started, the Remote Access Tool will display “Ready for connection” below the session codes.
The technician will automatically disconnect the remote session upon completion of the service. You always have full control and can terminate a remote connection at any time. To end a connection, click the X in the Remote program status window or click Settings, Exit. Since no Remote software is installed, an uninstall is not required. When you end the session, the remote connection is terminated, and the Remote Access Tool software is no longer active, and the session code will be expired.
A chat button/icon will appear in the bottom right corner of this Web page. Click the icon to start a Chat. If no icon/button appears, this may be because you have visited this page during outside support hours or a technician is not currently available. Technical difficulties or internet connection problems may also be the cause. In the event that no chat button/icon appears at your scheduled support session, you can contact us with your session code via e-mail
The digitally signed Remote Access Tool allows an experienced technical engineer to diagnose, repair and install software remotely by connecting your computer to us via the Internet. The Remote tool is secure, easy to use, works through virtually all home or office firewalls, and requires no installation or configuration. All you do is download and run the program and send us the session code.
A connection can only be made when the Remote Access Tool is active (open) and the software displays waiting for a remote connection message. The session codes that are generated by your computer will appear in the program window. The unique session codes must be given to the technician before a remote connection can be made. It is recommended you exit the Remote Access Tool when the remote session is complete.
In most cases, no changes are required. Some firewalls may present a warning message regarding an incoming or outgoing connection using our Remote Access Tool. In this event, you need to accept/allow the connection.
You should have a chat window open prior to the remote connection. We do not contact you using voice prior to service, or while connected.

The technician can see your primary and secondary screens (if applicable). Any application windows, pop-ups etc. that are open will be visible to the technician.
We can only connect to one machine at a time. If you have another machine we require to connect to, you will need to run the Remote Access Tool on the additional computer and provide the session number.
You can see everything the technician does while you are connected remotely. The technician will only use or access software on your system that is directly related to solving your support request. If you are concerned about privacy, we recommend closing down non-related applications such as e-mail & messaging services prior to connecting to us.
