What exactly does it mean to be a mobile professional? If it means answering calls with a smart phone and possibly checking voicemail and reading and returning e-mail, then great. But what happens when the mobile professional needs to have move functionality in the field?



How about receiving and reviewing faxes? And calls that, while the mobile professional is occupied with a client or patient, cannot get answered? Although smart phones provides advanced services, without the ability to receive and send faxes they ignore a large component to many businesses. Just imagine how much easier business could be for the mobile professional who could review incoming documents while on the go.

Nearly all mobile professionals would benefit from the ability to review faxes while on the go, particularly as they travel from one appointment to the next. This becomes increasingly important for those professionals who rely on instant access to documents. Not only would this feature improve the speed at which the mobile professional conducts business, but would provide a competitive edge. Since such advantages have a linear relationship with income growth, they sure get our attention!

At a modest price of $10 per month, nearly every mobile professional can benefit from having incoming faxes sent to them by e-mail. These can come in a variety of formats, but the point is that they will get to the professional -- even on their mobile phone! When evaluating the costs of $120 per year (or just $110 if you factor in the free month's savings), consider the same that would get saved in no longer having to reach a FedEx Kinko's or the bricks-and-mortar office to retrieve incoming faxes. Forget about that; faxes can reach you by e-mail wherever you are!

Since one of the main reasons a mobile professional chooses to break the shackle of a bricks-and-mortar office is to avoid having to make frequent trips back, the services offered by myFax make perfect sense. As well, given its easy-to-use interface and there being no requirement for additional software, the mobile professional's life can quickly become easier without the burden of tedious up-front set-up.

The market leader in this area is myFax and my1voice (the latter of which offers voicemail and auto attendant services). The faxing program is easily the simplest to use and, being web-based, very functional. Another great advantage here is the number of file formats that they support (no matter how obscure your preferred file method, you will likely find it here). Regardless of the technical advantages, the service is will prove just how value an addition myFax would be to your mobility.
