Fax Makeover

Internet fax replaces the fax machine in the office and provides a more effective and efficient method of information exchange and communications.

While email stands to be one of the most effective office and communication tools today, fax remains to be a reliable method of information exchange. Businesses and institutions still rely heavily on faxing, making it an indispensable office tool. But the fax machine looks like it has seen better days, both in terms of physical appearance and its capabilities. Get a fax makeover by switching to Internet fax.

Green faxing

Internet fax eliminates the need for a fax machine and instead relies on the Internet for transmitting documents. An online fax number works by sending and receiving documents through email. The faxes you receive arrive in your email inbox as attachments, regardless of whether the document was sent to you using a traditional fax machine. And when you need to send a fax, you do not have to print and scan a document anymore. Simply attach the document to an email message and send it to the fax number of the recipient.

On-the-go Faxing

Online fax lets you transmit documents wherever you are, as long as you have an Internet connection. Send faxes on the fly by logging in to your online fax account, and receive faxes wherever you are with any Internet-connected device. You can view your faxes right on your iPhone and forward them to colleagues and business contacts with simple commands.

Professional Faxing

Internet fax eliminates not only the need for a fax machine, but also the disadvantages that come with it. With new capabilities, you can produce better-looking more professional documents. Affix your digital signature and include a custom cover page in the faxes you send out. And since faxes do not go through phone lines anymore, senders never hear a busy signal when another fax is being received.
