How eFax Works


Overview

eFax is an online fax service that eliminates the need for a fax machine, an extra fax line and all the associated expenses (paper, ink cartridges etc.). Get a real fax number that's tied to your email. Send and receive faxes as email attachments. It's all the reliability and security of faxing with the ease and convenience of email.

Sign up for eFax Plus or eFax Pro and see for yourself.

DoIgetarealfaxnumber?

Yes. To the person faxing you, it looks and acts like any other fax number. When someone faxes to your number, the fax is converted to a file that is emailed to you as an attachment. What if I already have a fax number?

HowdoIreceivefaxes?

When you sign up for eFax Plus or eFax Pro, you'll choose a local or toll-free fax number. When someone faxes you, you receive the fax in your email inbox as a file attachment. Just double click the file to read it. You'll be able to check your faxes anywhere you can check your email. You also have the option to route all your incoming faxes to up to 5 different email addresses — no more copying, distributing, or forwarding.

CanIsendfaxes?

It's easy to send a fax with your eFax Plus or eFax Pro subscription. One way is to attach either a file (click here for supported file types) or a scanned hard copy to an email. Then in the To: field, type the recipient's fax number like this: 13235556789@efaxsend.com. Click send and it arrives as a paper fax in their fax machine.

CanIsavemyfaxes?

Of course. Save a fax just like you would any email attachment and they'll only be a click away. You can also access your faxes online by logging in at http://www.efax.com for up to 30 days (US Only) with eFax Free, one year with eFax Plus, or two years with eFax Pro.

HowcanIreceivevoicemail?

With eFax Pro, you'll get even more out of your eFax number. Someone can call and leave a voice message. It's converted to a file and emailed as an attachment. You can listen to it through your computer with popular music programs such as Windows Media® Player, iTunes®, and RealPlayer®, or our own eFax Messenger software.

WhatifIalreadyhaveafaxnumber?

No problem. You can bring your current number to eFax and enjoy all the benefits of Internet faxing without having to change your number. Visit our number transfer page to easily transfer your existing fax number to eFax for no cost.
