Google Fax
by Matt Gerchow
Using your Gmail account to send a Google Fax can be a great way to save time by condensing all your communications into one place. Especially if you work in the business world, it can be problematic to sort through all different modes of communication. Having to send faxes, e-mails and all your other communication separately can make it time consuming and difficult to keep track of your correspondence. Luckily, there is an easy way to get around this using online fax services. Communication can be simpler and easier than ever thanks to online fax services that let you send faxes via your main e-mail.
Setting Up Your Google Account for Faxing
If you do not already have one, sign up for a Gmail account or a Google account and set it up for e-mail, which should take just a few minutes. Next, find an online fax company and sign up. RingCentral is one such service that also allows you to receive mobile voicemail in addition to your faxes. It is best to choose a service that offers bundles that handle multiple modes of communication. This way your e-mail can be your one stop for all correspondence, making your life easier, your reply time faster and your communication more efficient.
Sending Your Fax as an E-mail
To send a Google Fax, log into your Gmail account and compose a new e-mail by clicking the appropriate link at the top left corner of the Google Mail screen. To send a simple text fax, type your message in the body of the e-mail. Alternatively, you can send longer faxes with formatting or images by attaching a document to the e-mail instead. Address the e-mail to the fax number of the recipient followed by the web e-mail domain of your online fax company. Send the e-mail and it will fax to the intended recipient.
