Faxes via email

The nostalgia of faxing! While traditional faxing is still used in some industries, there are now many ways to send faxes via email. Here are a few options:

  1. Online Fax Services: Companies like eFax, RingCentral, and MyFax allow you to send and receive faxes via email. You can send a fax by attaching a document to an email and sending it to the recipient's fax number, which is usually in the format of [faxnumber]@efax.com.
  2. Fax Apps: There are several fax apps available for mobile devices and computers that allow you to send faxes via email. For example, FaxBurner (iOS, Android), FaxZero (iOS, Android), and HelloFax (iOS, Android) are popular options.
  3. Email-to-Fax Gateways: Some email providers, like Gmail and Outlook, offer built-in faxing capabilities. You can send a fax by attaching a document to an email and sending it to the recipient's fax number, which is usually in the format of [faxnumber]@yourfaxnumber.com.
  4. Fax Software: There are also software programs that allow you to send faxes via email, such as FaxTalk (Windows) and FaxBrowser (Mac).

Here's a general outline of how to send a fax via email:

  1. Attach the document you want to fax to an email.
  2. Enter the recipient's fax number in the "To" field, followed by the email address of the online fax service or fax app you're using.
  3. Add any additional information, such as a subject line or cover letter, if desired.
  4. Send the email.

The fax service or app will then convert the email attachment into a fax and send it to the recipient's fax machine.
