Send A Fax Via Email

When trying to send a fax using email, you can put aside your annoying office fax machine. It is all done over the computer, as long as the document you want to send is already saved on your computer.

If you are looking to send a fax via email, you will have to search for an online fax service that does just that. A quick internet search will bring you many results, among the best are Ring Central and My Fax. Many email fax services work with outlook express or whatever email software you use.

Once that is done, create a new email to send just as you would before. Attach the files/documents you are planning on sending in the fax to the body of the email. You must then enter the fax number of the receiving party in the "To" field of the email. The "Subject" field of the email is used as the fax header and will be displayed to the recipient. Once all of this is done, the email is ready to be sent. After clicking "Send", you should receive some sort of notification email that your fax has been received or that it is on its way to its destination.

Once you become familiar with the whole process, you can prepare your own list of contacts and their fax numbers to save yourself time. If you run into any troubles during this process you can easily contact your online fax provider and companies such as Ring Central offer 24/7 customer service and will assist you or help you solve any problems.
