Best Way to Receive a Fax By Email
There are many companies on the Internet that facilitate sending and receiving faxes without purchasing a fax machine and a dedicated phone line to service the machine. You can receive faxes from anywhere, and at any time with these services and the fax is sent directly to your individual email address.
Items Needed:
- Computer
- Internet Connection
- Email Address
- Analyze what you need in a faxing service. Summarize how many incoming and outgoing pages you need to receive and send in a usual month. There are online services that allow you to fax through their Internet site, and those that let you fax through your own email address. Most companies allow you to also receive faxes through their service directly to you email inbox.
- Evaluate email fax services by signing up for a free trial. Nearly all Internet fax services provide a trial program allowing you to send and receive a particular number of faxes within a definite time period.
- Pick a monthly contract for an average of $8 per month to send and receive faxes. With this package, available at many different companies, you can receive about 250 pages each month and send approximately 100 pages.
- Select a simpler choice that costs an average of $24 per year. This service is for customers who will not need a local area code to receive faxes. This package allows you to receive 100 pages per month, but sending a fax costs an additional charge per page.
- Explore online services that allow you to send and receive up to two faxes per day via your email. These services are free because the company displays an advertisement on the cover page of your fax. If you are receiving a fax from the company, the advertisement may appear in your email. The advertisements generally do not contain explicit images or slogans, but as a user you do not have control of the type of advertisement displayed in your free fax.
