Using an Online Fax Service

by Natalie Gonterman 06/02/2019

Sending and receiving faxes is still growing in popularity around the world, and online fax services have come to light to enable users to change from traditional fax machines to online (internet) fax. So, if you are the type of person that needs to send and receive faxes every day and still glued onto the traditional fax machines, take a look at some few benefits of adopting online fax: 

1. It saves you a lot of money

Online fax services may cost you something in the neighborhood of $20 monthly. Meanwhile, traditional fax machines can require many times than that. Purchasing a fax machine alone costs about $100 to $300. When you include the cost of ink, toner paper, replacement parts, and maintenance, you start to see the picture of why online faxing is better.

2. It is convenient

Generally, when using the traditional fax machine, you need to be in your office to start faxing. But when you switch to online fax, you can send and receive faxes from wherever you are and whenever you want. Anywhere and at any time.

3. It keeps your document always organized and available.

Say, you are receiving at least fifteen faxes every day, and after one month, you would have achieved nothing less than 500 pages. Calculate that for a year, and you will realize it is a difficult task to manage such loads of paper. Well, when you switch to an online fax service with a cloud storage feature, you can store all your sent and received faxes in one place. Apart from that, you can quickly get access to the files whenever you want to.

4. It allows you to send and receive faxes from your smart-phone

There are so many online fax providers that offer applications for Android and IOS devices to start getting and sending faxes on the go. This benefit means you can use the camera of your smart-phone as a scanner to convert paper documents to digital text and send a fax with just some few touches on your smart-phone screen.

5. It is highly secure

Online fax services make use of OpenSSL or other trusted encryption systems to ensure your data is safe and no one else except the receiver and sender can read the content of faxes. With that in mind, you won't have to worry about your data sent to unsecured phone lines or an unauthorized employee having access to received fax accidentally. 

Apart from these five, there are more amazing benefits waiting for you when you switch to online fax services. Don't wait any longer. Get started today!
