Internet Fax FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about Internet Fax

    How did NextAdvisor test these internet fax services?

    We signed up for the services and we used them. We sent faxes to fax machines and to email accounts. We used fax software when it was available and played around with the web-based interfaces. Finally we sent six email faxes from each service to each service, recording the time the email was sent, and the time we received notification. That created our average send and receive times.
