What is online faxing?
Online faxing is sometimes also called fax over IP or internet fax. It describes the process of faxing documents to others using the internet. Unlike traditional faxing, you don’t use any hardware except the device that’s accessing your online fax account.
In other words, online faxing eliminates the need to own a physical fax machine. You can use online faxing to send documents to anyone in the world. It’s a service that’s fully compatible with international fax (though you can just as easily fax to local Canadian addresses).
Since online fax isn’t hardware-dependent, you can basically fax from any device by using a desktop or mobile app to send faxes from your cell phone, tablet, or a desktop computer in the office.
