Internet Fax FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about Internet Fax

    How do I send an Internet fax via email?

    It's just like sending an email. Most often you enter the phone number in the name portion of the address, and the fax company in the domain portion, such as: 5555555555@yourfaxservice.com. You can then type in the message field, and send, or attach a document. However, there are variations. Sometimes you will enter the country code before the number. GoDaddy requires all faxes go to the same address, and the phone number is entered in the subject line. Check the instructions for your individual Internet fax service for more details.
