Why online fax?

Online fax, also known as internet fax, email to fax, and fax to email, is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution to traditional fax machines. Online Fax services allow you to send and receive faxes using existing email, via an online interface, or via your Smartphone (email to fax/fax to email or via smartphone app). Many Services also allow you to send directly from popular applications like Microsoft Word and Google Docs.

Monthly packages range from $4.99 to $16.95, which in most cases include pooled fax plans and toll free numbers. The monthly cost is much less than the monthly cost of buying a fax machine, paying monthly for a fax line, and the cost of paper and toner. Since fax machines also print all faxes, and need to be on to receive faxes, internet fax also represents an environmentally friendly solution.
