Gmail Fax - Start for FREE

Do you want to send and receive Gmail fax? You have arrived the right place on the Web! We have received multiple visits from people who want to know if they can fax using their Gmail accounts, so now we want to show you how to do it.  It’s actually very easy!

To start we need to open an email account with Gmail, one of the largest free email providers in the World, owned by Google.  This service is available in many countries around the World and is very easy to use.

With traditional faxing you used a phone line, but now you are going to use the power and speed of Internet.

Once you have a Gmail address, it is time to obtain an online fax number that will work with Gmail. These numbers are provided for free by email fax service companies. I have added here the top 3 currently on the market.

How to Send Gmail Fax Step by Step:

Step 1. Create a Gmail account for faxing purposes. If you already have one use it.  You may need to verify your address with a cell phone.
