The good news is that you can now send a fax through your email. No more traditional fax machine. The bad news is that many people don't know how to do it. In this blog post, we'll show you how to easily fax through your email in just a few steps. Whether you're sending a personal or business fax, this guide will help you get it done quickly and efficiently. So let's get started and ditch that fax machine!

Download a fax app on your computer or phone

With online fax service, you can now download an app to your computer or phone and send faxes in no time! No need to worry about finding a place with a fax machine or dealing with paper jams.

Enter the recipient's fax number into the app

When sending a fax using an app, entering the recipient’s fax number is one of the most important steps. After opening the app, you can enter the receiver’s fax number. Making sure that the correct details have been entered is crucial to ensure that your transmission reaches its intended recipient. If you are unsure of what the receiver’s fax number is, it's best to double-check with your contact before attempting to send off your document.

Upload the document you want to send as a PDF file

Uploading documents online is a great way to make it easy to send information quickly. When you use online fax services from Voiply, you can easily upload your document as a PDF file and quickly fax it to any fax number. With online fax services, there are no costly registration fees, no monthly contracts to sign, and no more frustration with traditional fax machines. Instead, all you need is an online account and the PDF document you want to send. And once you’ve uploaded the document online and clicked fax, your message will be sent out instantaneously! Save yourself time and money today by sending documents online securely as a convenient PDF file.

Send a fax and wait for it to go through

Sending a fax can be a slow process when sending with a traditional fax machine. When sending a fax online, once you hit send there isn't much to do. Once the send is successful, then procedures can continue as soon as confirmation has been received. This can vary from brand to brand, with some confirming send almost instantaneously and others taking more time. Regardless of how long it takes for the send to go through, waiting patiently can result in efficient communication and accurate information being shared quickly from one person or business to another.

Receive Faxes using online faxing service

Receive faxes and as simple as receiving an email. They are directly delivered to your email inbox, or via the app as PDFs. Eliminating the need for paper jams or traditional fax machine. Plus, with advanced security protocols in place, you can rest assured that all of your data is safe from prying eyes.

Check the confirmation email or message to make sure it went through successfully

Checking confirmation emails and messages is one of the most important steps in any process you initiate online. Failing to do so can have serious consequences, from missing attendee notifications for events to a failed order confirmation from an online purchase. Taking a few moments to make sure the confirmation email or message has been successfully sent ensures that the requested action went through correctly and whatever task you initiated is now officially underway. Doing this might feel like an extra step, but it's always better to be safe than sorry!

Now that you know how to send a fax from your computer or phone, there's no excuse not to sign up for an account today and get started. And don't forget, we offer a 3 day free trial so you can test out our service before committing to anything. So what are you waiting for? Sign up now and start sending faxes in no time!

What Real People Say About Us?

Experience why Voiply has become the top-rated home phone provider, trusted by over 50,000 satisfied customers.

Voiply includes simple step-by-step instructions that get you up and running in under 15 minutes. The amount of time depends on how long it takes you to read and follow the steps. 1. Connect the color coded Ethernet Cable 2. Connect you Telephone Cord 3. Connect the Power Supply 4. Let the Adapter configure itself 5. Make and receive phone calls I was literally less than five minutes from the time I completed connecting the cables until I made my first phone call. There are very few home electronics that are easier to set up and use. The online customer portal is easy to access, provides appropriate tabs, and straight forward use. Very happy with my new home phone setup.

The automated system was helpful. It asked me the same thing too many times which was annoying but got the job done.

The Vioply ordering process was easy. I had no problem with porting my number from a previous provider. Set up was a breeze! All my calls, whether incoming or outgoing have been crystal clear with no dropped calls. My husband and I are very pleased with this service . We have saved quite a bit of money by switching to voiply.

Voiply is an internet based low cost alternative to a land line which we keep because it's the phone my husband will reliably answer and where we get calls from old friends. It has not been without issues, but their service is really good at resolving them. I am happy with their service and will continue to use Voiply. I particularly like that they transcribe voicemails and send them to my email.

We switched to Voiply after our current VOIP provider increased our rates 60% without warning (and we had been with them for over a decade). What a difference! They helped immediately with porting issues then fixed the mobile app so that we could get incoming calls. We were up and running within a day of the port completion. Our previous VOIP provider took days to fix an issue - Voiply fixed problems within minutes of our report. So customer support definitely gets five stars from us! The Voiply price is also more reasonable so that was very helpful. And both the web interface and mobile app were well written (I'm a software consultant/developer). I've added a picture of the Grandstream device that Voiply supplies for free. Besides power, it has inputs for a phone (RJ11) and an ethernet connection (RJ45). It is programmed to get a DHCP address on your internal network so be sure to allot some addressed on your firewall router for DHCP. We are glad that we ported to Voiply - what a difference from our previous supplier.

I went through a handful of VoiP providers. They had the easiest website to maneuver. I recommend Voiply highly. Quick setup and it worked flawlessly in less than a few minutes.
