Choosing Secure Fax to Email Software

In these days we live in, where security in Internet seems to be absent, choosing a secure fax to email software is a must, especially for businesses that have to deal with sensitive information in documents. What are the options we have in matter of security with a fax to email software?

Most options nowadays come with a security system employing SSL encryption. SSL stands for secure sockets layers and is the same kind of technology used by banks to protects the data and accounts of their clients. Other options may have different security systems, but one thing is true: you must ask for what type of security options you are receiving.

This is the same for fax servers, because these servers have to deal with high volume of faxes from inside a company. The best thing you can do to ensure security is start your search with the most known fax software companies, which are established and trusted.

Fax Showdown! Internet Fax Services VS Fax Software

2009-12-20T08:19:00.000-08:00

There is a lot of debate on which of these options is better for faxing. I think it is just a matter of convenience, and ultimately what use are you going to give the program or the service. Internet faxing can be accomplished with both and each one offers their own set of advantages.

For personal faxing, I incline towards the use of faxing services, since they are quicker to learn how to use and the prices are really low. I have been using services for quite some time and I’m really happy. Now, if you plan to use it on big scale, I think it is better to use something such as broadband fax software, which gives you more control and option when it comes to high volume of faxing.

Some services offer solutions for high-volume faxing, although I have no direct experience with them.

Completely Free Internet Fax Services

If you are looking for a better solution, it would be a great idea to use free trials offered by top companies, or look for a free fax to email software solution.

Fax for Free With Email

2009-10-08T19:32:00.000-07:00

One of the top ways you can start sending fax for free with email using your Internet access, is thanks to Internet fax services and free fax to email software, also called shareware. I have to tell you one thing, there is no such thing as completely free faxing online, and services promoting this offer very limited functions for sending fax per day and are not suitable in any way for anything serious.

Internet fax services offer free trials in which you can fully test their features and add-ons. These are no little trial runs, instead, they allow you to try the service for 30 days! That’s a long time if you ask me and the perfect way to get submerged into this new and exciting World of fax to email.

Shareware is also great to fax for free with email and learn how do you send international fax, however shareware is more limited and has the inconvenience of needing support and installation something that isn’t most of the times readily available.

How to Send a Fax From Your Computer

2009-08-31T12:36:00.000-07:00

Traditional faxing is now a thing of the past, you no longer need to use a fax machine to send a fax to anyone. This is good news, fax machines were not only bulky and expensive, but they also brought along extra-problems, that you had to stand, like for example paper jams, busy phone lines, and my favorite: unreadable documents! Yes, sometimes you got a fax that started fine but as you read along words seemed to melt together for an unknown reason!

Thanks to the development of fax to email software and the advances in the offerings of Internet faxing services, electronic faxing has become a main trend for sending and receiving faxes. It has been adopted as the best way to fax by businesses both big and small. And as solutions get better and better, in no time we’ll see that every business will have an e-fax solution!

Let’s take a look at how to send a fax from a computer using an Internet fax service. Nowadays there are many online fax service providers that not only let you send fax via the Internet, but also receive them, they are a great alternative for fax to email software. Getting started with them is as easy as signing up for one of the plans that better fits your case; it is important to do some research on fax service providers before rushing into signing up with any of them. The options are varied and they can quickly confuse you if you don’t have the necessary knowledge. Most faxing services offer a free fax trial, so you can enjoy the sending service for up to 30 days. If you ask me, that’s a lot of time!

I would stay out of fax via internet services that are not well-known and offer much cheaper rates than the standard $10 per month in average great faxing services offer. I’m not saying this because they are cheap, but because from my experience, most of these services also have what I call “hidden charges” or charges that you are not aware of until it is too late. One of these charges are set-up fees; this is a fee you pay for the company to set up your account. You DON’T have to pay for this, it is just a way to make up for the low monthly fee. Besides this, you will also need to consider cancellation fees and overage fees. What are overage fees? It is a price you pay per extra page or per extra-minute once you have no more credit in your plan. Shady services charge you a lot of money on this, so take into account the different options and know your risks.

Here I want to talk about the so-called “free fax services” online. These are advertised as the perfect solution for your faxing needs, but they are only useful in some specific cases (when you have to send a single page to a friend or relative). These services are useless for business purposes, because they send a cover page with advertisements before delivering your fax! An online fax service for business should not contain any type of ad, or else it will project a negative image, in addition, you’ll be wasting someone else’s ink when they receive your electronic fax through their fax machine. Then we have the other issue, the high fees for sending additional fax. Yes! This is not as free as you think, once you send your maximum of 1-3 pages of fax per day they will require you to pay if you want to send more. With the best email fax services to send a fax document online, you can go with the traditional plans and save a lot of money!

Okay, back to what I was talking about… Once you sign up for an online fax service, you need to specify the e-mail address to which the incoming fax will go. This, again is very easy, and the reason why we cal this way of faxing “fax to email”. Then that’s it! You are all set to go and start faxing. Some great companies like Ringcentral Fax and MyFax, have a great way to welcoming new users. On the email they include a quick start guide, so you can get started with basic faxing right away if you need to. Later on you could focus on the electronic faxing features! Once you do all of this, you will log into your account and adjust the settings so you can fax right way. Through this method of faxing, just like with fax to email software, you can send a fax to anywhere, no matter if the person at the other side has a fax machine or a computer. The magic of this way of faxing is in the process! You can receive online fax the same way.

Once you fill out all the necessary information and attach the document you want to send as a fax, the fax servers owned by the Internet faxing service company will convert the fax and well’ that’s pretty it. Fax on your PC doesn’t have to be so complicated! As a matter of fact, the simplicity and speed of sending and receiving a fax online has proven to be one of the biggest benefits of online faxing.

As you can see it is very easy to learn how to send a fax from your PC. If you are worried about security and privacy issue, you should know, that although the fax company sends your message across the Internet, they do not have any copy of your message, and ill is done through encryption. If you are worried about a certain company, I would recommend you ensure they follow all the necessary privacy and security compliances, as they are required. That is another good reason to opt for trusted and well-known web fax services. The same advice could be applied to fax to email software, it should provide you with top security. For big businesses who handle sensitive information, a network fax server might be the best option, as they can handle all faxing from inside, without having to resort on external providers.

Unlike fax software, you have to pay a monthly fee to use them and you’ll get a certain amount of faxes to send and receive.

Fax to Email Software Advantages

2009-03-21T09:08:00.001-07:00

Forget about traditional faxing, that’s a thing of the past. Now you are able to send faxes using fax to email software. But we have already talked about that haven’t we?

Today I want to talk about the advantages of fax to email software, how they can help you save time, money and more in business and also in your everyday life.

One of the main fax to email software advantages is that it uses the Internet as the way to send information. From the start it saves us a lot of bucks, because, just consider what would cost the installation and monthly fee of a dedicated fax line. We no longer have to worry about that or the cost of a traditional faxing machine.

The best fax software out there will also help you save a lot of time. A well rounded fax to email software will not only let you send and receive faxes but will add many other functionalities that will increase your productivity. For example many fax to email programs integrate with common Office applications, so you are able to fax with just the push of a button. Others also include the ability to generate detailed logs of all your communication, something that will help you keep track of things in business.

Fax to email software is very quick and you won’t have to deal with busy phone lines or re-trying time after time, since the program does this all automatically. The same happens with receiving faxes. Of course, you’ll want to make sure the fax to email program you choose has all these features. We have reviewed some great options in the site before if I’m not wrong. This could be a great way to start. However, know that many companies offer demos of their fax to email software that you can take advantage from.

Electrasoft Software for Fax

2009-03-03T22:18:00.000-08:00

One of the well-known companies offering fax to email software is electrasoft, they are the makers of 32bitFax, 32bit Internet Fax, FaxMail for Windows, Faxamattic and FaxMail Network for Windows. As you can see that’s a great array of programs that are well… similar.

I haven’t tried all of these programs, although you are free to do it because they offer a free trial of all of them, but I’ve tried their 32bit Fax software and well, I’ve found it to be a simple application that lets you send and receive faxes easily in just a matter of minutes.

Their description of the program goes like this:

“You will be receiving fax and sending fax in a few minutes from now with this full featured fax program. Single Computer and Modem; or Network with Multiple Modems. Options include: Send faxes by fax modem, send faxes by email, send fax over the Internet, and the ability to forward all incoming fax to an email address. Send fax via your Internet connection using our built in fax API. If your fax recipient has an email address, this fax software program will fax email it to them by attaching the fax to an email and do an email fax to them.”

But there’s a downside for the functionalities it brings – the bad user interface. If you’ve visited Electrasoft’s web site, when you’ll pretty much know you can’t expect top user interface and that is exactly the case.

When I’ve tried this program with other people they always mention how it looks outdated and inferior to other fax applications that have a better user interface. For many clients this little problem designed –so to speak – means a lot; and I am one of them.

However, it stands as another alternative for fax to email software. If you have experience with the other Electrasoft’s faxing solutions, feel free to drop us a line in the comment section.

Internet Faxing Is Here to Stay

2009-02-20T12:14:00.000-08:00

Fax to email software is really a time and money saver. Many people fail to realize that because they just don’t get the chance to try the alternatives. And well, as a matter of fact, it is not only software that I’m talking about, but also service, and Internet faxing in general. Nowadays when I look back to those days when I was stuck with traditional faxing, I ask myself “How could I have been losing so much time without knowing it?”.

If you are still unsure whether to try or not fax to email software, here you will find lots of info you know that. But if you are interested maybe in email to fax services, you can find a great resource with a huge list of fax service providers here: Complete List of Email Fax Services, this is one of the most extensive resources I’ve checked out on this subject.

You see, you have to contemplate your options, especially during these tough economic times. As I said in a post earlier on this year, you can save up to 89% of money you spend right now with traditional faxing. Think about it, that may be a lot of money that you better invest in other areas of your business or your life. When this same situation translates to big companies, the savings can be really huge!

So, Internet faxing is here to stay. Standing in half-way between email and traditional faxing, it offers the conveniences of both worlds. Why do I bring the topic of Internet fax services? Well, recently I had to travel and couldn’t bring my laptop with me so I couldn’t enjoy my fax software’s work. I signed with a cool company you may have heard about: Ringcentral Fax, looking for a portable solution for faxing.

It worked extremely well. Now, I’ve grown accustomed to my software but I’m really considering giving Ringcentral a try. A try? Well yes! I didn’t have to pay for the time I used it, thanks to the fact that the guys over at Ringcentral allow you to try their faxing service completely free for one month. I’m really excited about how these faxing services have evolved and now are user friendly and easy to use. I will post later my experience with Ringcentral Fax, and maybe other services (I’ve heard that MyFax also offers a free trial”)

Fax to Email Software or Internet Fax Services?

2009-02-08T10:43:00.000-08:00

When you first enter the world of Internet faxing, you find that there are basically two options or ways to send your documents. One is the use of fax to email software, and the other is the use of special services that don’t require any installation in your computer. The dilemma then arrives, as to whether one or the other is the best.

This dilemma seems to get bigger as we find that within each option we have big variety of offers and products.

So, the best way to start, is by answering the following questions:

“How much volume of faxing will I be doing?”
“Is this for a small or big company?”

These two questions will put you in the right direction to make the right choice. On one hand we have fax to email software (also called simply fax software), this is a solution that requires a little learning curve, and computer configuration, etc. It also needs to be installed on every computer you want to send a fax from, but this fax to email software also gives you complete control over your communications. In the setting of a big company who does heavy faxing, fax to email software may also be the best option, specially by integrating fax servers, able to handle big amounts of documents.

On the other hand, Internet faxing services are more convenient and simpler to use. They are used in the same manner you use a web based email service like Yahoo or Gtalk. These services upon signing up with them will give you a number to receive faxes (this Internet fax number is either local or toll-free) and have the advantage of being accessible anywhere as long as you have a computer and an Internet connection. Many of these companies can be found on an Internet fax service review.

You need to take into consideration also what added benefits you wish to enjoy, for example some fax to email software options offer fax broadcasting capabilities, and Internet fax services also have a service that notifies you to your cell phone or PDA of any incoming fax, so you can access them “on the go”.

For many of you, pricing will also be very important in your final choice. The cheapest way to start is with an Internet fax service if you plan to do light-faxing. You can find companies with offers for as low as $3.95 a month and from that find more costly options with more benefits and number of faxes to send/receive per month.

In the field of fax to email software, you will also find different prices, the more expensive options are geared towards big companies and businesses, you can find really affordable fax programs for individuals and small businesses that provide you all the tools to start faxing without the need of a fax machine. By the way – both options are way cheaper than using a fax machine!

How to Use Fax to Email Software To Receive a Fax Through the Internet

2009-01-14T04:34:00.000-08:00

Fax to Email software is a great aid when it comes to save time and money, yet not all people try it because they don’t understand how this works and end p complicating things in their heads.

The name fax to email, implies a conversion of a document. Most fax machines use the TIFF format when sending and receiving documents so in order to receive a fax as an email, the faxing program needs to convert the TIFF file to a smaller file – to be attached on an email.

To make things easy, fax to email software doesn’t need you to take care of the conversion manually. You just have to setup the different parameters in the configuration screen.

Next time someone sends a fax to you, they won’t have to do something special to get the document delivered. In fact, they won’t notice at all if you are using software or a machine. They conversion will take place all by itself and the document will be delivered safely to your email address.

In the same way, if you plan to fax a document, this document (no matter if it is on a jpg, doc or pdf format), will in turn be converted to a TIFF format so everyone can receive the fax on a fax machine, software or service.

As you see, receiving a fax through the Internet doesn’t have to be complicated at all. In fact, it is much simpler than faxing a document using a fax machine – not to mention that you save on supplies, maintenance and of course, the cost of the machine itself!

Receive Fax to Email

2009-01-06T07:18:00.000-08:00

One of the biggest demands on today’s faxing market is to receive fax to email. This is done thanks to the help of fax to email software. A program that will let you do the conversion easily, so any incoming faxes can be read from the computer. This is a huge advance in the world of communications. Remember the days of old fax machines? Well, when you receive fax to email, you won’t need to bother about poor readability and faulty machines anymore.

If you want to receive fax to email, you can use either fax software or fax to email services. Fax software is an application that you need to install on your computer, and well, on any computer you wish to use for faxing. You buy it and only pay for it once, being free to use it until the end of time – if that is your wish of course. Services to receive fax to email on the other hand are paid monthly; they can be accessed from any computer and they are managed pretty much in the same way you manage your email through services like Hotmail or Gmail.

The conversion of a readable format by machines or computers takes place automatically. If you want to learn more about the process you can take a look at an article on this site explaining the process, but know it works.

Fax to Email Software Options

2008-12-29T21:25:00.000-08:00

Are you interested in fax to email software options? Then read on. Nowadays the market of faxing software offers a great variety of options, many of them are great and offer superb quality, but others are simply far away from the standards expected on reliable faxing software. It is important to make the right decision when choosing our preferred fax software, and there are a variety of tools we can use for this purpose, such as free trials, which will give us hands-on experience with the program.

Among the most used fax programs we have Rightfax, a product developed by Captaris and aimed mostly at enterprises that can easily reduce communications costs and improve speed just by implementing software. Other of the programs is GfiFax Maker; this faxing program gives you the advantage of quit faxing manually and upgrade to the new way of delivering documents. Unlike Rightfax, GFI Fax is aimed more at small business and individuals who can enjoy many benefits such as integration with PDAs and mobile devices, integration with common Windows applications, automated fax delivery and more.

These are two great options for fax software, however in case you prefer Internet based services, you can also enjoy the power of services provided by companies such as Ringcentral and MyFax. These are great web based services, this means that you access them the same way you access your online email account (such as Gmail or Hotmail), and you don’t buy a program, instead you pay a monthly fee that will include a default number of faxes to send and receive. If you want to go beyond the fax limit you pay a fee per document. If you are new to the World of Internet faxing / fax software, I believe this is the best way to start. Not only it is more convenient, but also Ringcentral for example offers a free 30 day trial that I think is more than enough to help you get acquainted to Internet faxing.

MyFax is another cool service that offers also a trial and allows you to use proprietary fax to email software that integrates into most Windows applications. So for example, if you are typing a document in Word, you can immediately fax it with a push of a button, no need to enter programs in the middle of the document sending flow.

So as you see, these are a few of your fax to email software options: desktop based and Internet based. You have to test both and see which one fits better for your type of faxing.

Free Fax to Email

2008-12-19T19:02:00.000-08:00

Are you looking for free fax to email options? Well, there are different sites that promise you to send faxes without a cost and even freeware (that is by the way, software that you never have to pay, and only subsists based on donations), but are they the right option? Maybe to some.

I remember while back searching for free fax to email options and being hopeless. There was one site – which I won’t mention, though it is easy to find – that promised to send free faxes, I think there was a limit of 3 faxes per IP or something like that. Well, as it turned out, this wasn’t a completely FREE choice, not in the pure sense anyway. Any time you faxed a document, it was preceded by a full page of advertisement for their paid service.

Luckily, I used it to fax a document to a relative, but just imagine if you send a document for your small business using this free fax to email service! First you’ll have to explain your customer or provider that you didn’t want to send that page, and second you’ll need to deal with some questions issues about whether your business is a serious one or not. I have yet to find free fax to email that is completely free, and useful.

The other option is using a free fax to email program. These programs as I said are developed thanks to good will and donations. Although these free fax to email options seem much better, they really aren’t, most of the programs are outdated and need some requirements like special modems. The majority of them are also not user friendly – with terrible interfaces and hard to use menus. They lack the polish of a great developed and designed software. However, if you get around it, you can take advantage of them.

Beware of some sites though. There are sites to download free fax software that surprise you with a tracking cookie and spyware. Yup, that’s the cost of free things.

If you want yet another free fax to email option, let me give it to you: use free trials. Internet based services often offer you free trials. I don’t use free fax nowadays but I remember being able to use a full 30-day trial for Ringcentral fax. I really don’t know if they offer it anymore, but it was great to both get used to Internet faxing and the possibilities of this new type of communication. Other companies offer free months, so if you have some cash, it would be cool to use one. These services that offer free fax to email as trial are really not expensive, although I guess that many would want to save every buck to survive the crisis. But well, monthly price is just $10 at most.

Free fax to email, as you see is not as simple as it sounds. Sure, you may be able to find a warez version of a well-know fax to email software, but it doesn’t guarantee you anything, and it may come infected with a Trojan virus –I wouldn’t run that risk in my business computer. If you find a free fax to email option that is good, reliable and not spammy, drop me a comment here, I would love to spread the word so anyone who wants to send an occasional fax can use it. Because, yes, there are people who only want to send a fax once in a while, and it is not worth buying a program or subscribing to a monthly fax to email service.

Well, that’s everything for now on free fax to email. I hope you have some things clearer now and don’t forget to try free fax to email software for yourself. I can talk all I want but experience my friends… experience is priceless.

Have fun with free fax to email!

Fax to Email Software – How It Works

2008-12-16T11:29:00.000-08:00

Internet faxing is based mostly on the conversion fax-to-email / email-to-fax. This is what allows sending a document easily and with crisp clarity thanks to the use of fax to email software.

This conversion has proved pretty valuable. For small business and personal faxing, the software takes care of this, but of you want to use fax to email software on a big business situation, there are special fax servers capable of handling the big amount of information being transferred.

The document you want to fax is sent via e-mail as an attachment. This attachment is then converted in a TIFF format, readable by other fax software and by fax machines (yes, there are still people who use these big machines!). The conversion happens the other way when you receive a document via fax to email software.

Pretty simple idea. But you don’t have to understand everything to take advantage of Internet faxing. Not at all, however when searching for a fax to email software, you might be interested in learning more about the encryption and security, specially if you are faxing sensitive information.
