Free Web Faxing

Free web faxing literally means what it says - anyone can send and receive faxes online for FREE!

You must be thinking right now, surely there must be a catch? Who in their right mind would set up a company to provide free web faxing ? The answer is, Yes, there is a catch but it won't cost you a dime. The catch is this: when you send out a fax, the automatically generated cover page will contain an advertisement. More often than not, the advertisement fills about a third of the cover page. It is this advertisement which helps to support the free internet faxing services.

So how does this free web faxing works?

Quite a number of sites which provides such a free faxing on line service do not require you to sign-up as a member. It is a web based fax system, and all that is needed to send a fax is to key in the following:

• Go to the website of the free fax service provider.
• Fill up a very simple fax form (e.g name of sender and recipient, recipient's fax number and sender's email)
  
• Type in the message to be faxed. Some better service providers allow you to attach documents as well in formats like PDF, Microsoft Word & Excel.
• Click the Send Button. That's it!

Barring unforseen circumstances, such as heavy fax traffic at the local fax server, all fax pages are usually sent within a few minutes. The phone charge to transmit the documents will be borne by the web fax services provider. Most of them do no require the need to install a fax software on your machine.

However, it is best to register as a member if you want to receive fax online etc, because members have access to lots of offers and benefits for free. Among some of the benefits offered are bulk faxing - some call it fax blast service, access to custom fax sheets, speeding dailing, and virtual fax. Virtual fax also enables members to receive incoming faxes by email.

One point to note about free internet fax services is that you cannot assume you can start sending faxes online to anybody in the world. The internet faxing service provider will state clearly to which part of the country of your residence, or to which part of the world, the service can be used using either a local or toll-free numbers. For example, if you are residing in Country A, then probably the service is confined within the capital of Country A only. But some better service providers may enable you to fax to various listed countries as they have access to a wide collection of internet fax servers in many parts of the world.

Whatever it is, free web faxing is a win-win situation for everyone. The service provider makes money through support from advertisers, while business entities and individuals save on faxing costs.
