Gmail Fax
by Matt Gerchow
Gmail is a service provided by Google for free email online. You can set up an account in minutes and manage email, voice mails and faxes from one central location, which you can access by computer or phone from your home, office or anywhere you choose. To send and receive faxes, you will need to find a fax provider online. RingCentral provides fax services and offers information on service provided by other top companies, so they are a good choice from which to begin. They also offer a free 30-day trial, as do many other companies.
How to Fax From Gmail
Your fax service provider will furnish you with their online address and provide you with an Internet fax number, which can be local or toll-free. Incoming faxes to the number will be forwarded to your Gmail account automatically. To send a fax, insert the fax number at the beginning of the address furnished by your fax company. This goes on the address line of your composed Gmail. Then you attach your document, or you can simply copy and paste it into the message area. Then you send your email. The company will see that the fax is sent to the appropriate addressee.
Financial and Ecological Benefits of Gmail Fax
You can cancel the second phone line you use for faxes. Long-distance charges for faxes will be a thing of the past. You will no longer require ink, paper or toner for your fax machine. By going digital, you will realize distinct ecological benefits. You will never need to fix the fax or buy a new model. Many do not realize it, but printer ink is the most expensive chemical in common use in the office (about 800 a gallon). And your mechanical fax uses more electricity than any other common office machine.
