Can I fax from my phone? The answer to this question depends on your personal needs and how much you fax. In this article we will take a look at a few popular options for sending a fax using your cell phone. You can also use an email-to-fax converter such as eFax or the CamScanner app to convert emails to a readable fax.
You can send a fax in minutes from your Android phone or tablet without needing to be connected to a fax machine. You can also receive a fax via email while on the go. I’ll even show you how to do it for free. Since I’m one of your fellow techies, you’re probably wondering if it really is possible to use your mobile device to send and receive faxes. The answer is YES, but it costs money (at least after the 5th page). However, you can use one of their apps called Rover which supports voice-to-fax for free (after the first page).
eFax converts email to fax
The eFax app on your phone allows you to send and receive faxes. It also allows you to sign and attach files, and you can get a confirmation email when your fax is delivered. You can even send signed faxes to colleagues or business partners. You can use this app to share signed documents with others. eFax is available for both Android and iPhone.
You can find a free trial for most of these services, and the service itself is very easy to use. Usually, a free trial includes a fax number and free fax to Gmail. It also lets you customize your fax with a digitized signature. After signing up, you can cancel your faxing plan if you aren’t satisfied.
iFax
The iFax app makes transferring faxes easy. The service works well on mobile devices and desktop computers. However, it’s important to note that the service lacks an inbox for incoming faxes. Instead, users must manually sort through them. Additionally, iFax doesn’t support two- factor authentication. Regardless, iFax enables encryption using AES-256.
The iFax app can be downloaded on iPhones and tablets and is available for free through the app store. The program also works on laptops. Once downloaded, open the app and select the desired faxing service. You can then select the country code and fax from your phone. Upon installation, the app will create a dedicated fax number for you. You can also choose to send your documents from your laptop. Once you’ve made the selection, you can begin the seven-day free trial.
CamScanner
If you’re looking for an app that will allow you to fax documents from your smartphone, you’ve come to the right place. CamScanner is a modern app that conforms to the latest Material Design standards. You don’t need to register to use the app, and it also has a bunch of extra features. You can import existing documents from your phone’s gallery, and you can even send faxes from your device. One caveat: it’s not free. You’ll need to top up your account to send a fax, but the quality of the faxes will be worth it.
To scan documents from your phone, install the CamScanner app. To scan a document, open the app’s menu and tap “Upload / Print / Fax” to choose where to send the document. Once you’ve opened the app, you’ll be prompted to choose your recipient’s name and email address. Once you’ve selected the recipient, you’ll need to recharge the app’s credits. The app charges $0.99 per page, but the app lets you send up to 10 pages at once.
We’ve used the service ourselves and recommend it if you need to send a fax from your phone but don’t have access to a fax machine. It works well for what it is, but it can’t replace a traditional landline-based fax machine.
