One form of communications technology that gets a bad rep is fax, but the good thing is that fax technology continues to adapt as more modern methods of document sending and retrieval emerge on the market to accomplish a variety of business needs. According to TheseSeventyTwo, these methods “have come to popularity during the last couple of years…fax messaging has been used for decades, and has become an essential communication tool for offices.”
In light of this, the site lists three various means of faxing that have developed to provide free and reliable communication, ultimately eliminating “the need for tedious and costly document-sending.”
1. Resourceful websites such as ScanR
“An admired product of technology’s unwavering progress, websites such as ScanR allows you to utilize available resources, such as a camera phone, to send documents as fax messages,” the site explains. “The simple process entails taking a picture of the document that needs to be sent or shared by using your camera phone, uploading the file and sending it through the website. ScanR automatically sends files as fax messages in PDF format.”
2. Internet faxing through cheap yet valuable VoIP plans
“Included in VoIP’s many benefits is the ability to send unlimited fax messages within the US and Canada…VoIP services provide better faxing through the Internet, allowing you to send and receive fax messages through email or a fax machine,” it notes. “Even though VoIP plans are monthly paid services, having unlimited internet faxing throughout North America makes it more than worth your money. Not to mention, VoIP plans are significantly cheaper than getting regular fax services.”
One provider of fax VoIP, FaxSIPit, can attest to all of the benefits which VoIP offers. The company’s cloud-based service network is a proven IP-based fax network that has successfully transmitted millions of faxes by insuring that all fax calls terminate using HTTPS combined with TDM technology, or what it deems “a marriage of two extremely reliable forms of delivery.”
3. Fax services through websites
“Numerous websites offer free faxing services for personal or business use. All you need to do is upload the files you need to send to a fax number and send it to the recipient/s,” TheSeventyTwo insists. “While you can definitely enjoy this readily available faxing service online, they often limit the number of fax messages you can send in a day. If you need to send messages that exceed the allowable number per day, you can opt to register and pay for a particular monthly cost.”
