Web Fax Services

By Joshua Mac

VOIP is now getting more common then the past landline phone connection. This revolutionary digital phone technology is a great cost saver. VOIP works just like a regular phone but with added features, lower costs and compatible with web fax services. Using web fax services will let you take advantage of VOIP services and still maintain 24/7 faxing at the same time.

The web based fax services allow you to use the fax service with your desktop computer. Sending a fax through internet is easy, just put it together like an email and send it away. The mail will go through internet fax service provider where it is changed into a facsimile. This facsimile is sent to the recipient. Also the internet fax service will give you a free local or toll free number. You can receive facsimiles on it. You can even use your cell phones with email capabilities to send faxes.

Attachments like PDF, powerpoint presentations or word documents are also allowed to be sent by with email by some service providers. The attachments are just added as an additional page in the facsimile sent. This eases the task for people on the move.

With different monthly plans to choose from there are numerous web based fax service providers like MyFax, Ringcentral Fax, eFax and Save on Faxes. The fees are generally higher for the business level needs. For personal fax needs a smaller monthly plan for a certain number of monthly faxes is a wiser choice. Many of these providers, if not all, give you a free local or toll free number also.

Therefore, web fax services are proving to be great money saver with an easy user interface and smooth facsimile service. It helps you save a lot on your local landline phone service, paper, ink and electric bill as well since the fax machine is the most electricity consuming office machine.
