How does fax to email work?
Why is fax2email free? How can it be free? Why would anybody offer a free fax2email service? There must be a catch?
- Receive free fax2emails
Your faxes are sent to your email at no charge to you, the receiver
- No hardware or software required (other than your email and an image or pdf viewer)
- No special training required
- No in-house IT department to support the service
It is very easy to set up a free fax2email.
Once you have signed up for a free fax2email, you get a free fax number which starts with 0865 or 0866 fax2email number.
People then send you a fax and you receive the fax as an attachment to the email you specified when you signed up.

You can also receive your faxes anywhere in the world where you have access to your emails.
There are many benefits to the fax recipient, but why is fax2email free?
The answer lies with the sender. Fax2emails are charged at premium Telkom rates.
The rates are still very reasonable and it offers convenience and reliability to both sender and receiver.
Wikipedia definitions of Fax to email may be found under "Internet Fax" or "online faxing":
"Online faxing (also known as Internet fax, digital fax and e fax) utilizes an online fax service provider to convert a fax transmission into file that can be received via email or a fax machine. Online fax services bridge the gap between the traditional fax technology and internet transmission of documents.

Document is converted to TIFF or PDF format and attached to an e-mail in MIME format. The service also allow you to send document like Word, PDF's, or pictures file"
