Fax to email

The fax number without the fax machine

Fax to email digitises fax communication entirely. Faxes sent to your number are converted to a digital file and delivered to your inbox as an attachment, with no physical fax machine or dedicated phone line involved.

Industries such as medical, legal, government and finance still receive faxes, even when maintaining a machine and dedicated analogue line no longer makes sense. Fax to email keeps the published number working without that equipment.

When an inbound fax arrives, the service converts it to a PDF and emails it to the nominated recipients with sender details and transmission status. Documents reach the right inbox instead of sitting unattended in a shared tray.

Key benefits

Fax communication without the machine

The service keeps an inbound fax number available while removing the equipment, analogue line and paper process that used to sit behind it.

Lower operating costs

Remove the machine, paper, ink, toner, maintenance and dedicated analogue line used only to receive faxes.

Convenience and mobility

Receive and read inbound faxes from an email inbox on a computer, tablet or smartphone, including for remote and hybrid teams.

Security and privacy

Documents arrive in the nominated email inbox instead of sitting unattended on a shared fax tray.

Digital records with less waste

How it works
  1. 1
    Confirm the number

    Keep the fax number already printed on your letterhead by porting it, or take a new one if the old service is being retired outright.

  2. 2
    Choose who receives

    Faxes can land with one person, a shared mailbox or a distribution list — whoever actually acts on them today.

  3. 3
    Retire the fax line

    Once faxes are arriving by email, the dedicated analogue service and its monthly rental can be cancelled.
