It is very simple to learn how to fax online. Here are the steps you need to take:

  1. Choose a fax provider
  2. Choose a geographic location and a fax number
  3. Sign up with your information
  4. Instantly start sending and receiving faxes by email

Below I go into some more details on how to fax online:

First you will need to choose the right fax-online service. You will want to take the following into account:

  1. Make sure the company you sign up with is reputable.
  2. Make sure they have a number in your desired location. Some will only give you numbers in the US, others limit you to a few countries, and others have local numbers in most countries.
  3. Check out the monthly price. How many faxes can you send and receive for that price? How much does it cost if you go beyond that?
  4. Make sure they have a trial period.

Check out the fax-online comparison page to see which provider is the best for you. To summarize the comparison page, it basically comes down to:

  • Choose RingCentral if you want a number in the US.
  • Choose RapidFax if you want a number in Canada, Belgium, Brazil, Denmark, India, Ireland, Korea, Netherlands, or Portugal.
  • Choose eFax if you want a number anywhere else.

Are you ready to get started? First click on one of the links above to sign up.

During the sign-up process you will be asked to select a fax number. This number will look and act like any other fax number, except that faxes sent to you will be converted to an email message and sent to your inbox. From there you will be able to save your faxes, forward them, print them, or do with them whatever you like. Note that if you already have a fax number you can auto-forward it to your new number and use it as well.

Sending faxes is also easy. It's just like sending an email with an attachment. So if you know how to send email, you also know how to fax online.

That's all there is to it. Now you know how to fax online.

Happy faxing,
