Fax to email address

The classic fax-to-email solution!

There are several ways to receive faxes via email, and I'll outline a few options:

  1. Fax-to-Email Services: Companies like eFax, RingCentral, and MyFax offer fax-to-email services. You can sign up for an account, and they'll provide you with a unique fax number. When someone sends a fax to that number, it will be converted to a PDF or TIFF file and sent to your email inbox.
  2. Fax Machines with Email Capability: Some fax machines, especially newer models, come with built-in email capabilities. You can set up the fax machine to send faxes directly to your email address as an attachment.
  3. Fax Software: There are various fax software programs available that allow you to receive faxes via email. For example, you can use software like FaxTalk, FaxCenter, or Fax4Ever to receive faxes and convert them to PDF or TIFF files, which are then sent to your email inbox.
  4. Virtual Fax Numbers: Some internet service providers (ISPs) or VoIP providers offer virtual fax numbers. When someone sends a fax to this number, it will be converted to a digital file and sent to your email address.

To set up fax-to-email, you'll typically need to:

  1. Sign up for a fax-to-email service or purchase a fax machine with email capability.
  2. Set up your email account to receive faxes. This may involve creating a new email address or configuring your existing email account.
  3. Receive the fax as an attachment in your email inbox.
