Receive Free Fax
by Matt Gerchow
Receive free fax services by utilizing one of the many free services available by computer or phone. Also called facsimile, a printed page or image is transmitted by electronic means through a computer or by a fax machine. Great for sending documents or emails to businesses or individuals that live out-of-town, out-of-country or that do not have access to email or other document transfer services. No need to buy an expensive machine to receive a fax, or make a trip to the local copy center. With only an internet connection, a computer or an android phone with picture-taking capabilities, anyone can use this type of document transfer service.
Phone faxing applications
Convert a mobile phone into a fax machine. Using an application, like ScanR, documents are scanned into a mobile phone by taking a picture of the document, and then converted it into a digital PDF file. It is sent to an email provided by ScanR, and from there the file is sent as a fax. This company's basic service is free. Developed by Burrotech, Mobile Fax Free works similar to ScanR. Once the file is converted, select the fax button to send. A cover sheet is created on the next screen with the fax information and the number. Watch the progress on the screen, then save or delete the files. Users are limited to one fax per day.
Computer faxing options
Users of Windows XP and Vista already have a free fax service installed. Follow the Windows Components Wizard to finish installation.

Many file formats are supported, and all data is encrypted. For large volume, international faxing, Myfax charges 10.00 per month, however, 100 sent and 200 received faxes are included in the fee. RingCentral Fax assigns a business their own fax number with 1000 toll-free minutes per month. Documents are sent through a PC, MAC or smart phone, and sent by email. Files are easily stored and retrievable, all for one monthly fee based on the number of users.
It is quite simple to receive free fax online. Make sure documents always look professional by following these pointers. Type or print letters, and do no use complicated, colorful letterheads or large images. Graphics, may distort, so faxing important sketches and blueprints is not suitable. Since a printed fax is slightly distorted sending a fax can blur the text even further. To ensure the file gets to the intended person, use a cover sheet, and never send confidential information, such as credit card or social security numbers. Take advantage of free and inexpensive apps and services to transfer documents easily over the internet.
