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!

Open the app and create an account

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!

What Real People Say About Us?

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

I signed up for Voiply's Park Your Number service, as I no longer needed a home landline and found myself inundated with spam calls that were constantly disrupting me when I was working from home. I really wanted to keep my phone number as it I have had it for decades and there is no way I could remember all of the places that I have listed it as my main contact number, so this was a great solution to not severe that history but still provide me a break from these incessant solicitation calls... Now I am able to get email notifications when people leave messages so I can easily review them when it is convenient for me. I can also log in to my Voiply account and review a full log of calls, see which ones left or didn't leave messages. It is a joy to see the tally of calls (most of which were of no interest to me!) and to appreciate the amount of disruptions that have now been avoided. That alone is worth the very small price for the service. I only wish I had found out about this sooner. Bravo Voiply, bravo!

i decided to replace my land line and purchased a VoIP system from Voiply. I paid for one year and received two months free. This saved me 165.00 over my old plan. I received everything needed in a few days and the installation was simple. I have been using the system for a few weeks now with no issues.Glad i made the change.

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 transferred to Voiply services on October 6, 2025, and regret not doing this sooner. I cannot tell any difference in the quality of the voice, communication, and services compared to the previous provider I had, all this at a fraction of the cost. Highly recommended.

The human agent of the client service was super fast detecting a small hiccup on the answer given by the AI agent regarding my account. Without me asking or having time to do it the agent presented herself and offered immediately to review the situation... not even a couple minutes go by and I am receiving the information by email and on the live chat session. Incredible and nowadays surprisingly attentive client service. Well done.

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.

I am impressed with VOIPLY so far, particularly with their support of a novice like me in porting my old cellphone number into our VOIP service. I gather some people at Voiply wear several hats, which is typical in a startup company. I hope Voiply can latch onto some other useful services to help grow the organization.

With our economy changing, I am trying to save anyway I can. I saw VOIPLY on line and decided to see what they had to offer, With their help, I am able to keep my landline for half the price I was paying through the "traditional cable bundle". It took a little extra help from my end with financing, but they were extremely kind and patient throughout the entire process. Highly recommend them.
