Five Solid Reasons To Use An Internet Fax Service
Copyright 2006 Titus Hoskins
Online or Internet Fax Services are becoming extremely
popular with our ever increasingly mobile workplace and
workforce. As we become more mobile, we want the ability to
receive and send  faxes through our email and the
Internet. It’s as simple as that!
Receive and send your faxes anywhere, anytime.
Plus, you have no more paper jams, no more bulky fax
machines, no more busy signals and no more return trips to
the office to retrieve that important fax at 10 o’clock at
night!
If you need more convincing about the advantages of using
or switching to an Internet Fax Service, here’s a short
list of reasons:
*Convenience
There’s a great deal of convenience to receiving and
sending your faxes through your email. You can access it
anywhere and anytime; wherever and whenever you access your
computer and the Internet.
Your faxes are right at your fingertips - just one click
away.
You receive a local or toll-free fax number that you can
give out to all your contacts. You can also store all your
faxes online or on your computer’s hard-drive, so you know
exactly where your faxes are. You know exactly where to
find that important fax when you need it. No more
scrambling through files or garbage bends to find your
faxes. No more missed faxes because of busy signals, not to
mention the decrease in all that foul language as there are
no more paper jams.
*Mobility
Perhaps, the most important feature or selling point for
using an Internet or email fax service is mobility. Since
you receive and send faxes through your email system and
the Internet you can access them anywhere, anytime.
This is great for mobile professionals, traveling sales
people, real estate agents, onsite builders, etc. Our
workplaces and workers are becoming very mobile at a very
fast rate - just in the last five or ten years we have seen
the explosion in the popularity of cell phones, PDAs,
Wi-Fi, Wireless Broadband, and portable laptop computers.
All these new technologies have changed how we do business
and how we communicate.
Internet or email fax fits perfectly into this mix and
gives us the means to take our work on the road.
*Easy To Use
Internet fax is as easy as using your email. How hard can
that be? Most, if not all email fax providers have a Web
Interface (online site) where you can log onto and do all
your faxing chores. Send and receive your faxes. Most fax
services also allow you to store your faxes online for easy
access.
Most Internet fax services will work with Windows Outlook
and Windows Office. Some have free desktop applications
that you can download and place on your desktop which
allows you to send and receive your faxes.
Finally, most services let you send a fax by just sending
an email, i.e. (destination number)@yourfaxservice.com - It
doesn’t get any easier than that.
*Inexpensive
Internet fax can be very inexpensive, especially if you
only have modest faxing needs. If you send or receive just
a few faxes each month you can purchase a very inexpensive
monthly or yearly plan from many of the major fax
providers. Many of these Internet fax services have
various plans and fees; finding one that matches your
faxing needs can save you a lot of money in the long run.
Really modest fax users can get an Internet fax service for
a few dollars a month. One of the major service providers,
eFax will even let you have a Free account where you can
receive up to 20 faxes a month for free, but be aware that
you will have to upgrade to a paid service to send faxes.
Another service, Send2Fax Prepaid charges you $0.15 for
every fax and a $20 deposit along with a very low $1.95
monthly fee.
For a person starting a home business or office, using an
online fax service will save you the extra cost of
purchasing a fax machine and an extra phone line. Actually,
online faxing may save your company or organization around
85% on up front costs and 34% on monthly costs of
traditional fax servers. This is a great plus.
Most online fax services are business-ready, and are
completely flexible and scalable to meet all your company’s
faxing requirements. Fax broadcasting to a large number of
recipients can also be more cost-effective with these
online services. There’s usually special custom pricing for
companies.
*Compatibility
Lastly, in a world that’s constantly changing, having a
faxing system that’s compatible to all the latest gadgets
and gizmos, is more important than it may seem at first
glance. As our communication and business tools keep
changing with the introduction of new hardware and
services, Internet or email fax will work with all of these
new inventions: Laptops, PDAs, Cell Phones, Wi-Fi, VoIP,
Wireless Broadband, Satellite Internet, come what may…
Choosing an Internet fax service will meet all your present
and future personal and business faxing needs. It is the
right choice at the right time. Discover the advantages of
an email fax service for yourself. Easy to use, affordable,
