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. With this app, you have full control over your faxing needs - whether it's to quickly share confidential documents or sending out formal business communications. Online fax service is fast, reliable, and secure so you no longer have to worry when sending important items. Download the Voiply Fax app (Android or IOS) today and get ready to take your fax game up a notch!

Signing up to use the is easy and quick! All you have to do is open the app from your mobile device or signup on your desktop. Pick out a new fax number or port your existing fax number.

Get started today and get a 3 day free trial.

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!

The switch to Voiply was seamless, fast, and easy. Voiply notified our previous carrier and notified us when the phone number was switched. The start up was amazingly simple and easy. We have two phone hubs on our home phone system, with a total of eight satellite phones. The sound clarity is excellent on all eight, and the system is working flawlessly. This was a great experience, and Voiply is a real value.

The transaction was simple, and the shipping was quick. (I purchased the home phone option.) It paired with a handheld cordless phone that we had with no problem. I had a question about set up, and although the phone number was not as helpful as I had hoped, the customer service via email was quick and responsive. The line works great! I am very happy so far with this decision for my family. Thank you Voiply!

If you’re a freelancer or solopreneur looking for a reliable phone system, Voiply is definitely worth checking out. The call quality is super clear, even on their starter plan—which also includes built-in CNAM (a nice bonus you usually pay extra for elsewhere). Right now, they’re offering 50% off, which makes it a no-brainer if you’re just getting set up or want to upgrade your setup without breaking the bank. What really impressed me, though, was their support team. They're available 24/7, quick to respond, and they actually know what they’re doing. That kind of service is rare. Also, their KYC (Know Your Customer) process adds a layer of professionalism that shows they take security and compliance seriously—great if you’re working with sensitive client info. Overall, Voiply just gets what solo professionals need: clarity, support, and a system that works. Big fan.
