Internet Fax System

Switching to Online Fax can save you Money

In this modern age where computers are an essential part of any home or work office, it is not surprising that more and more services are being switched online, turning your PC or MAC into one, multifunctional unit that can basically run your entire office. Voice over Internet Protocol (VIOP) and other services are now providing online telephone calls at greatly reduced prices compared to regular telephone calls (over Standard Telephone System), and now online fax is also available, which can save you hundreds of dollars a year over conventional fax machines and commercial services.

Cost Saving Equipment and Supplies

Because you can use your own web enabled home or work computers and laptops to send and receive emails, you do not need to purchase any additional equipment to set up your online fax account, and this will instantly save you hundreds of dollars over conventional faxing methods, which required stand alone fax machines, paper and toner and also line rental. Another major benefit of online faxing is in the way you receive your incoming faxes. When you get a fax it will be sent to your account inbox as an electronic file, which you can open and read online. This means that you can check each fax before you decide whether you want to keep it or not, so you only need to save it to your hard drive or print it off if you absolutely have to. With a conventional fax machine faxes are printed off automatically as soon as they are received, and this is the only way you can read them, so in many cases your precious ink and paper supplies are being wasted by faxes you don’t actually need to keep. This problem is exacerbated by junk mail faxes that can target certain numbers sending several faxes a day which you cannot block or prevent from printing off, and these just waste all of your supplies.

Cost Saving Faxes

With online faxes you are transmitting data over the Internet, so variable call charges will not apply. This means that you can send faxes through to both local and out of state numbers at the same low price, and unlike conventional fax machines you will not have to pay any expensive long distance charges. If you need to fax abroad you can also save money with online faxing as the pricing structure is much more competitive than with conventional faxing.

Monthly rates with online faxing are also a lot cheaper than with other conventional and commercial services, and you can get some very competitive plans which offer medium level faxing services from just $7.99 per month. As long as you do not go over any of your account limits (page or storage) this will be the only fees you have to pay for using your online faxing account, which really is very cheap and works out to be less than $0.03 per fax (based on the standard 300 fax page limits).
