FaxCentral Internet Fax - How it Works

Internet fax-to-email and e-mail-to-fax services

When you sign up for FaxCentral Internet Fax you have two options.

1. We issue you with a new local FaxCentral Internet Fax number or
2. We issue you with a personal Toll-Free 800 fax number. (There is no additional cost for using a Toll-Free number.)

You can use the issued number directly or by forwarding your existing fax number to it.

Receiving Faxes

When faxes are sent to your fax number our systems receive the fax and then converted it to an industry standard PDF file (or TIFF graphic file if you prefer). TIFFs are universally supported by Windows PCs and Macs and will automatically open when you click on them. See FAQs for more information about TIFFs and PDFs.

The TIFF or PDF file is then attached to an email and sent to you at the email address(es) you have assigned. When you receive the email you can view the fax onscreen and then you have the option to either print, save, forward or delete the email - the choice is yours.

If you have any more questions please visit our FAQs.

Sending Faxes

With a FaxCentral Internet Fax account you can send a fax from your desktop in two different ways provided you have an internet connection:

• Email: You can email the document(s) & images to our server which will then convert the documents into a faxable format and send it to the fax number you specified in the email message. See How To Send a Fax By Email
• Via Web Site: You can follow the step-by-step directions on our website.

We support most popular office and image file formats.
