Frequently Asked Questions

Can you email to a fax number?

With Fax.Plus, you can utilize the email to fax feature to send emails to a fax number easily. Fax.Plus’s platform converts the information in your email into code which can be sent through the phone lines to any fax machine. Learning how to fax from a computer or mobile email application is fast, easy, and convenient. You can use the email to fax feature to send an email to a fax number from anywhere with an internet connection and with any device or operating system. Email faxing is a great way to expedite paperwork and create physical records without having to worry about data security.

How can you email a fax machine?

The first step to emailing a fax machine is to set up a Fax.Plus account. This enables you to send emails to fax machines and faxes to email accounts. Just remember to create your account with the same email address you intend to use to send faxes. Once you've set up your Fax.Plus account, compose your email and enter the recipient fax machine number in the 'to' field. Next, find and attach any relevant documents. Now, send the email. It will quickly be delivered to the relevant fax machine, and you will receive a delivery notification.

Can you fax to an email?

As touched on previously, Fax.Plus enables you to receive a fax to your email (or for you to send a fax to another Fax.Plus account holder’s email) by connecting an online fax number, which will receive the fax and forward it to an email mailbox. So, for a fax to be sent to an email, the mailbox needs to be connected to an online faxing service. If this is the case, then all you need is the online fax number connected to the email in question and then to send your fax as you usually would.

Can I fax from my Gmail?

The great thing about Fax.Plus is that it is integrated with Google. This means that all users can send faxes from Google applications such as Gmail, Google Docs, and Google Drive. To use this feature, you need to register for a Fax.Plus account with your Gmail account. From here, you can then install the Google Workspace extension. Once you have completed this process, you will not only be able to send a fax from your Gmail account using @fax.plus, but you will also be able to seamlessly send faxes from Google Drive, Google Docs and Sheets.

How to send a fax via email Outlook?

Fax.Plus integrates with Outlook, making it easy to fax documents directly from your email. To use this feature, first sign up for a Fax.Plus account with the email address you use for Outlook. Next, compose an email in Outlook, attach the document you wish to fax, and address it to your recipient’s fax number followed by @fax.plus. Once you hit send, Fax.Plus converts your email into a fax and securely delivers it to the recipient’s fax machine. You’ll receive a confirmation directly in your inbox.

How to receive fax to email?

Fax.Plus allows you to receive faxes directly to your email inbox, without a fax machine. To use this feature, simply create a Fax.Plus account and choose an online fax number (or port your existing number). Once set up, incoming faxes will be automatically converted to PDF or TIFF format and securely forwarded as email attachments to your chosen email address. You can then view, download, and manage your faxes conveniently from your inbox, wherever you are.
