I am not a a phone company, so I can't do that, as I can't access the data. But provider for receiver can access that data. I don't see how relaying message through phone company is more secure than Internet or Bluetooth.
Yes, you can, but, for example, AES-CBC is definitely better.

No. Encryption was used since at least ancient Egypt for secret communications for a reason.
But provider for receiver can access that data
If I send a stupid image with a hidden message, not even the provider can know what am I sending. Fax is still the best way to hide messages in plain sight.
Internet is just a joke nowadays.
In my early young years surviving the communism I invented my own language based on geometry signs, used with my closed friends. One day the security services found our signs, but not even after 30 years they couldn't decrypt our messages LOL

Besides, bitcoinfax.bet will send it anyways over Internet.
If you are being watched by agencies, In Latvia it could be suspicious if you want to send fax for some strange reason, nobody uses it here for decades. :D

Not sure about Latvia. In my first workplace (not a police), some ~25 years ago, "fax" already was just a modem card in computer connected to phone line and computer converted from / to e-mails with attachment in an internal Exchange mail server.

check for example 3cx.com - full support for encrypted fax to email servers, over VoIP

So, happens over Internet. :)
And how it differs if you send the same image with a hidden message over Internet?
reply
internet is public.
I have a simple rule: do not post anything on internet you do not want to be seen as "public" in the future.
Once you post it on internet, is not "yours" anymore... no matter how much encryption you put.

Don't know for all the countries, but where I live, all landlines and everything that includes more than one provider is over IP nowadays anyway.
