Speed fax email
A blast from the past!
Speed Fax Email, also known as "fax-to-email" or "email-to-fax," is a service that allows you to send and receive faxes using your email account. Here's how it works:
Sending a fax via email:
- You compose an email with the fax number in the "To" field, followed by "@faxnumber.com" (e.g., "[email protected]").
- Attach the document you want to fax to the email.
- Send the email.
- The fax service receives the email and converts the attachment into a fax signal.
- The fax signal is then transmitted to the recipient's fax machine.
Receiving a fax via email:
- You receive an email with a fax attachment (usually in TIFF or PDF format).
- The attachment contains the faxed document.
- You can open and view the faxed document using your email client or a fax viewer software.
Speed Fax Email services typically offer the following benefits:
- Convenience: Send and receive faxes from anywhere with an internet connection.
- Cost-effective: No need to purchase a fax machine or pay for long-distance fax calls.
- Environmentally friendly: Reduce paper waste and minimize your carbon footprint.
Some popular Speed Fax Email services include:
- eFax
- RingCentral Fax
- MyFax
- FaxZero
- HelloFax
Keep in mind that while Speed Fax Email services have made faxing more accessible, they may not be suitable for all types of faxes, such as high-volume or high-security transmissions.
