subject: The Modern Way To Fax To Email [print this page] Some people cannot afford a large fax machine, and now, there are ways to fax to email. It makes it much more convenient for both the sender and the recipient. There are many websites available who offer this service, and this will show how to sign up for a membership.
There are companies that may offer the service free where a person can fax a certain number of pages per day. However, there are more professional sites who will charge a monthly fee to fax a maximum amount of pages which is considerably more. This service will also allow others to fax to the recipient through email.
The way that this service works is that the website assigns a fax number to the member. When a fax is sent or received, the number is dialed, on the fax machine if the other person has one, and it still arrives in the email inbox of the recipient. It will show up as an attachment that the person can open and print out. The person can even view it on the computer which saves quite a bit of paper.
Many websites like to offer free trials to make sure that customers will be happy with a service first. They can always cancel if they need to. If a person faxes a lot because they have a business, they can purchase a membership that does not have restrictions on the amount of faxes that one can send. Usually, if a person exceeds their membership amount, they need to pay extra for each additional facsimile.
People can fax documents through downloading a document to the website. Either the person has a word document already on their computer, or they need to scan it. It is then downloaded and sent through the website.
To search for one of these companies, a person only needs to do a quick search online. Many names will come up, and they will advertise their services. If one company does not suit a person, they can always try another online fax company.
Faxing does not have to go through a machine anymore. Documents saved on the computer and scanned documents can easily be sent to important destinations. Faxing is all done online, and those who have the same service will receive the fax in their email. However, other recipients will get it in their fax machine.
