What is Internet Fax?

The fax machine has been around for many years and nearly every office, and many homes in the U.S, has one. However, over the last few years fax has been transformed into an Internet fax service (also known as Online fax). No longer do you need to be concerned about your fax machine breaking down, being out of paper, or privacy. Internet fax service removes this worry by handling your faxes electronically, note that this is often referred to as e-fax or email fax.

So how does Internet Fax service work?

Well your Internet fax service provider will handle all of the faxing for you. The service provider has on-premise fax servers that are fully maintained by them. When a fax comes in the fax service provider converts it to a digital form that can be emailed to you. In the other direction, you can just drag a document to the fax icon on your computer in a smilar way to the way you would drop the document in your printer icon on your computer desktop. The Internet fax provider then takes care of sending the fax from their secure on-premise fax machine. If you have a document that needs to be faxed in paper form, simply scan it to your computer and send as above. Also note that the fax service provider will typically let you choose a phone number for your fax service.
