E-Bluey - Additional services

Fax-bluey is basically the same as an e-bluey, however it allows the sender to send an e-bluey in your own handwriting instead of using a computer.

To use the fax-bluey service:

• Obtain a fax-bluey from your Unit Post Orderly, FPO or Hive personnel.
• Write your letter in the large box starting from the top of the form.
• At the bottom of the form in the 'to' box, please ensure that you write CLEARLY AND IN LARGE PRINT the name and address of the person to whom you are writing.
• In the 'from' box, you must write your own name and address.
• When you have completed your letter, take it to your nearest fax-scanner to be scanned in and sent to the e-bluey server.

Once loaded onto the server your letter then follows the same procedure as a normal e-bluey.

Fax2email is virtually the same as the Fax-bluey, except that in the 'to' box you must write CLEARLY AND IN LARGE PRINT the e-mail address of the person to whom you are writing.

Pay-bluey works in the same format as e-bluey, it is a Hybrid mail system that allows service personnel, relatives and friends to maintain a personal and private contact with each other while serving overseas at British Forces Post Offices that are not covered by the Operational Welfare Package.

The main difference between each system is that e-bluey is free to use but, as it states in the name, you have to pay for the pay-bluey service. However, please remember you are only able to use the pay-bluey service to a location where an e-bluey system has been installed.
