Google Fax
by Matt Gerchow
Using Google Fax is a great way to simplify life. While we'd all love to have regular access to a fax machine, the realities of life can often get in the way. The one you have at home can break, the airport or hotel you are in may not have one, or you may just be on the road, or in a place where it is otherwise difficult to get to one. This is where Google Fax comes in. With Google Fax, all you need is an Internet connection and you can take care of your faxing needs wherever you may be.
How do I get started?
Getting started is easy. All it takes to set up and send a Google Fax is a working gmail address and registration with an online fax company. To send your Google Fax, you simply compose it the same way you would an email, attach whatever needs to be attached, and then put the fax number, at mark () and the email domain name of the online company of your choosing in the space where you normally write the receiver's email address. It's that simple.
Does it cost anything?
While it doesn't actually cost anything to send a Google Fax, you do have to register with an online fax company, and that will usually cost you. There are supposedly 'free' online fax services, but usually they are limited. They may only allow for a certain number of pages to be sent, or limit the number of times you can use their services per day. If you are unsure about whether or not you want to commit to registering for an online service, a great way to start is using the 30-day free trial offered from RingCentral. It allows you to try the service before you buy.
