Advantages of Internet Fax
The fax, like everything else, has gone online. Internet fax services offer all the advantages of the physical fax machine while saving time, space, and resources. With an Internet fax service, you won't have a fax machine cluttering up your office, spitting out endless reams of paper. Internet faxing doesn't even require a fax modem; all you need is an Internet connection. All the Internet fax providers we reviewed allow you to send faxes through a web interface or your favorite email program. Some also include dedicated faxing software or custom fax drivers that allow you to send faxes just as you would print a document.
How We Reviewed These Internet Fax Services
Our team of in-house reviewers signed up for and tested each of these Internet fax services. We sent faxes from each Internet fax service to an actual fax machine, to judge fax clarity. Finally, we sent simultaneous email faxes from each service, to each service, recording the time the email was sent, and when we were notified of the fax's arrival. We did six of these send-and-receive tests with each service, and averaged the times.
Internet Fax Differences
When choosing an Internet fax service, there's a lot to look for. Prices vary widely, as do the features. Think about your Internet fax needs, and then decide which features are important to you. If you receive a lot of faxes, choose a plan that includes the most inbound faxes. If you need to add digital signatures to your documents, look for an Internet fax service that offers faxing software with those capabilities. Finally, consider if you need a toll-free number for receiving faxes.
