Fortunately staying connected has become easier and cheaper than ever before thanks to mobile devices. And thanks to fax to email you can also receive important, signed documents even while a few time zones away from your desk.

What is fax to email?

Organised and on the go with free fax to email

As the name implies, fax to email allows you to receive faxes anywhere in the world directly in your inbox as TIFF or PDF attachments. This helps you to receive valuable documents without the risk of them falling into the wrong hands or not going through due to paper jams, engaged lines or fax machines running out of toner.

As an added benefit, the service also helps to bring down costs, since you can choose to save the attachment to hard drive as opposed to printing it out.

Why still fax?

Well, for starters, Hunter S. Thompson used to send scribbled faxes (which he called the Mojo Wire) to Rolling Stone Magazine when he was unable to speak. Most of us however, will use ours for more sober purposes.

With countless millions of fax machines in offices around the world, it is still the fastest way to get a piece of paper between two points. Contracts still need signatures and even writers can fax their doodles to their AD's email without the schlep of scanning, rescanning, finding then mailing.
