Rarely has any new technology taken root and become so popular with users as quickly as eFax or Internet Fax. Well, maybe with the exception of email that is, but then again, the two are directly related to each other since efaxing is simply sending all your faxes as email attachments, usually in TIFF or JPG formats.



Internet Fax, eFax, online fax, email to fax, electronic fax or no matter what name you apply to it, has really taken hold in the business world. It has now become a more efficient way to send all your faxes mainly because you're no longer tied down to the old traditional fax machine in the office. You can send and receive your faxes wherever you have Internet access and these days that's just about everywhere.

efax is cost-effective, easy and very convenient to use no matter what your faxing requirements are.

In order to receive or to start using an efax system you must sign-up for an Online Fax Service where you're given a local or Toll-Free fax number. This fax number is given out to all your business associates and used in all your company's communications. Your Internet fax service provider will act as your intermediary to handle all your faxes whether they're from another computer or from a traditional fax machine.

Once you have acquired an eFax service provider you're ready to fax!

You will be given an online site (interface) where you can logon to send and receive your faxes. Your faxes are also stored online here so you can access them at any time.
