What is Fax2Email?

Fax2Email is the ability to have an incoming fax received into your email inbox.


How do I send a Fax2Email?

Fax machines cannot send directly to an email address. They can only send to a number they recognize as a standard fax number. In order to receive a fax into your email inbox, it is necessary to trick the sending fax machine to think it is sending to a standard fax number.

To trick that sending fax machine, a “fax to email” number must be ordered and then that number must be configured to a receiving email address. It is a 2 step set up process. Firstly ordering a number and secondly configuring a forwarding email address to that number.
