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!

I changed internet providers to T-MOBILE and was sent a 5G Gateway router. I read that there were issues because it has to be configured to Voiply.On two occasions I could not receive or call out with Voiply and had to use my cell phone. I contacted customer service and they fixed the issue and told me what to do if it happens again on my end and if that doesn't work call customer support. They were easy to work with for someone that's a senior and not computer savvy.

I love the ease of purchase, the online dashboard is transparent about services and features, the customer service has always been topnotch, and you can't beat the price! I have the landline phone for my kids too young for cell phones and it's an added safety feature should I need to call 911 as the number is tied to my physical address. Worth every penny!

Joined Voiply because I want to be able to use the app when traveling Internationally. The service was easy to use . Just dial the number in the app and you had a very clear connection to person you were calling. Since I am not traveling i did not need this connection. Their customer service is much better than 95% off other companies.

I want to tell all these people who is looking for a good VoIP phone service to check Voiply. I was looking at a lot of services, and I found this phone service due to what they had to offer. I went with service and placed my service order with them. Everything what is on their site is true. I had to take care of some issues with my internet service and had to cancel the service. I got in contact with them and asked to have the service canceled. Botton line there was no problem at all. They were very fast to respond back and took care of it and also was emailing every step of the way on the cancelation and refund. The big thing is what I liked about this service company they never gave me a song and dance to why or give any pressure trying to keep me. Other company want your whole profile and then they press you to connect with them. I would recommend this service company for the customer satisfaction they provide. You can read some feedback about problem when it comes time to cancel a service, but from what i went thought this company they are NOT that type. I'm saying this from the experience I had. I will for sure go with this phone service company once all the issues I'm dealing with gets fixed. You can decide for yourself and at least give they a try. JERRY......

Voiply does have an A+ BBB rating. Just set it all up, was some issues with getting started, but contacted them. Initial communication was easily done through what seemed to be AI generated. Info was sent to a technician who fixed all my issues within the hour. I did not have to stay on the phone while the tech was doing their fix. Once everything was working, the tech sent me an email of his work and asked if all was good. I was able to reply, which is usually not an option to other businesses. Voiply seems to work great. Many features to learn along the way. I hope this will be a long friendship for us. I 100% would recommend this to everyone. The price is right. Just be patient for the initial set up, they are there to help, even with transferring your phone number for free, which many businesses are charging you for.

Rapid response, almost unbelievably so. Caring expressed in their emails. Request for further update, as in caring how this breakdown resolved. Corrective action rapid after further update. These folks rock. Whatever they do to provide great service in a good mood is something VERY FEW organizations have a clue about.”

When we first started using Voiply our phone worked from 7 AM until 6 PM weekdays. It didn't work after 6 and on weekends. I put in a call to the support center, and after playing tag for a day and a half I received an e-mail from the Customer Support group. It was something that they have not seen before. After a couple of days and constant updates and request for information they were able to fix my problem. Now my phone works correctly. Throughout the entire ordeal the Customer Support Team made me feel that I was improtant to them, and kept me updated. I appreciated the way they handled my problem, and worked hard to correct it.
