Online Faxing Without the Expenses of a Traditional Machine

While faxing is still a necessity in many workplaces today, it doesn’t have to be done with a traditional fax machine. Online fax technology is starting to become more popular with businesses that are looking for more efficient and cost-effective ways to do things.

Why Online Faxing?

Aside from other great features businesses need to survive, including call forwarding and electronic messaging, three way conferencing, and advanced call distribution, some VoIP phone system providers are also providing a built-in online fax service, or internet fax service. With an online fax system, you also will not have to invest money in a traditional fax machine or a phone line — you can get all the faxes you need through the Internet. Instead of having to buy a printer paper for the fax machine to print off every document that comes through, you receive all of your faxes electronically. They show up on the computer screen and you can see everything you need to see but can print if need be.

Saving Money

A great VoIP provider will offer an internet fax service, which works with both inbound and outbound faxing, so you’ll have all the benefits of faxing without actually having to buy a fax machine. You won’t have to buy an extra fax line, saving you even more money by using VoIP.

For normal business usage, many VoIP providers even offer internet fax service for free. Some internet fax products cost an extra $10 to $20 every month, but there are VoIP phone system providers out there who will offer it with no extra cost with a limit, typically around 100 fax pages. For inbound faxes, callers simply dial your number and press the send button on their fax machine so the system can automatically detect faxes, receive them electronically, and post them to your account. You can then view them online or have them forwarded to your email address. With outbound faxes, you should be able to upload your documents to your online fax library and send as needed.

If you’re looking for innovative ways to save money, choose a VoIP provider that can offer you a great phone system as well as an online fax service. You can get all the features you want at a fraction of the cost of a traditional telephone system. Online faxing allows you to save money on machinery and paper and is overall a more convenient method of faxing.
