Receive Faxes Online

With today's growing technology, you can do just about anything over the internet. You can order products, email friends, and believe it or not even send and receive a fax.

Receiving a fax online is just as easy as sending one, but the first thing you need to do before being able to send or receive anything is to pick an online fax service provider of your choice. Many such as Ring Central offer a free 30 day trial, others are free and some provide you with various cost plans depending on how much you plan on faxing. The free websites usually only allow you to send faxes and not receive any, so picking a paid service such as Ring Central or My Fax will most likely be your best option.

Regardless of which provider you pick, you have to register with them and provide some information to them as well as a method of payment for your fax plan. After this is done, you are given a number which serves as a fax number. So you receive faxes to your computer with this number, just as you would receive a fax to your fax machine via your fax number.

For example, when another party wishes you send you a fax, they simply send the document to your fax number that you've obtained from your service provider. You are then notified of the receipt of this fax and where you can obtain it, or the fax is simply sent directly to your email.
