Circuit-switched fax is only available if supported by the carrier.

A GSM phone has no real dialup modem, just a sort of virtual modem which
makes a connection to a carrier's IWU (Inter Working Unit), located in some
service center. The IWU has the actual modem that can make analog data calls
and/or fax calls over the PSTN (public switched telephone network). If the
carrier doesn't provide an IWU, or if your account isn't provisioned for CSD,
then a GSM phone cannot data and/or fax calls.

With GPRS, you can easily send a fax over the Internet with a service like
Fax1.com
