Online Faxes

Online Fax – Cheap, Easy and Reliable

Faxing is still an important way of sending and receiving documents for both business and personal use, but conventional faxing methods can be expensive, and many people are put off by the costs of buying or leasing expensive, bulky machinery and supplies, and also the cost and hassle of setting up an additional phone line. Commercial services can also offer a way to send and receive faxes, but these can also be expensive, and there is all the hassle of going to the outlet to send and pick up your faxes.

Money Saving Benefits of Online Faxing

There is a cheap, easy and reliable way you can send and receive faxes from the comfort of your home or office without the need for any additional equipment or line rental, and this is online fax. You can use online faxing through any internet enabled computer, and as nearly all homes and offices in this modern age have their own PCs or MACs and Internet connections, this will mean that you already have everything you need in place to start sending and receiving faxes straight away. You can also save money in many others ways with online faxing such as:

• No Long Distance Charges – long distance charges are not applicable when sending faxes over the Internet, so unlike conventional fax machines you will not have to pay more money to send a fax out of state. • One Monthly Fee – with online faxing you will pay a set monthly fee to use the service, which will allow you a certain number of faxes (around 300 per month). This makes it much easier to plan your budget, as you will always know what you need to pay for faxing services, but make sure you do not go over your monthly page limits as this could incur overage fees which are around $0.10 per page. • No Second Line Rental – because you will be utilizing your existing dial up or broadband connection there is no need to pay for a second, dedicated line to be put in as with conventional faxing.

Online Faxing is Quick and Easy

If you can send an email then you will be able to send an online fax, as the two processes are very similar. With an online fax you scan the document you want to send into your computer, and then log on to your fax account (via the website of the provider or you could interface your own email account with this software). Now all you need to do is start a new fax message, type the number of the recipient (or recipients) in the ‘To’ field and attach your document by browsing for it through your computer files. Then it is just a simple matter of clicking on the ‘Send’ or ‘Submit’ button, and the fax will be sent automatically to the recipients fax number. Don’t worry about sending faxes to conventional numbers either, your online fax provider will ensure that any fax sent or received by your online account is compatible with all fax numbers, whether they are a conventional fax machine or another online account.
