Fax To Email Service
by Matt Gerchow
There are many individuals as well as businesses that can benefit from a fax to email service. With this service it is possible to use the equipment that is already existing in the home or businesses to both send and receive faxes.
In addition, there is no need to tie up the phone lines or pay for an additional line that is dedicated for fax use. Subscribers to the service are assigned a telephone number that directs all incoming faxes directly to their email.
In order to send a fax, the documents are emailed to the fax server. In just a few minutes, the documents are delivered and the recipient is unable to tell that they were not sent from a normal fax machine.
Many users find this method of sending faxes to be superior to the normal fax machine. Instead of having to print documents to be scanned by the machine, documents from a word processor or other computer program are simply attached to the outgoing email.
If the document already exists in a hard copy, a computer scanner can be used to prepare it to attach to the email. With this system, electronic copies of the sent and received faxes can be easily saved on the computer hard drive.
There is no more need to shuffle through papers to locate that important document. It is safely stored on the computer and can be printed as needed.
There are several companies that offer fax to email service. Many of these companies offer different levels of service.
The person that sends or receives only a few faxes each month may be able to find a subscription for less than 10 per month. Unlimited fax service is often available at less than the cost of adding a second phone line to one's business.
