How to send a fax from the Internet

Now, companies all over the world can send faxes over the Internet. In fact, companies that use this type of communication tool are often highly respected by customers because it sees the company as "active" and "forward-looking".

So how do you send a fax over the Internet? Currently, there are many service providers, and more and more service providers are on the same day. As competition intensifies, various packages are available to customers. But if you look closely at these offers, there are actually only two ways to send a fax over the internet - based on the web or using proprietary software.

Network-based basically means that users only need to visit the service provider's website, log in to your account, enter some necessary data [such as the recipient's name, phone number, email number, etc.] and attach your fax message. Then press the "Send Fax" or "Send" button. That is it!

For proprietary software methods, users need to download and install special software on their computers. This is usually a very simple task and does not require any prior technical knowledge.

Many service providers now transfer your faxes by converting them to e-mail, dramatically reducing costs. To use such a service, a special fax number is usually required - provided by the service provider.

Currently, a popular fax service can be integrated with the email system you are using, so there is no need to install new hardware or software. The fee depends on the package you choose. Basically, the main difference between packages is the price and quantity of faxes you can send and receive. For example, $10 a month, allowing customers to send up to 100 faxes and receive up to 200 fax pages. If you take a $40 plan, then it has 400 faxes and 400 faxes. Users can receive faxes in PDF or TIFF format through multiple email accounts, or just view them online. Faxes are sent by email and the system works with Microsoft Office.

Another fax service can receive not only faxes, but also voicemail and email attachments. To send a fax, you have two options - via email or network.

For those who occasionally only fax, a good solution is to use a "prepaid" service. This service does not require a monthly fee. What you do is prepay a certain amount, use the fax service, and when the prepaid amount drops to a specified level, you only need to fill up. If you do not use the service for a certain period of time, the prepaid and fax numbers will be deactivated.

Which service providers are the best in the industry? It's hard to say because every user or company has different needs and requirements. But the good news is that major fax service providers do offer free trials ranging from 2 weeks to a month. It is best to make the most of this privilege to determine their support services.
