Internet and Email to Fax Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get an Email to Fax number in any City?

The answer to this question depends on your provider. Some companies offer fax numbers in every state and Province, while others are more local. The Internet fax providers we review cover all of the United States, and some offer coverage in Canada. Be sure to check where fax numbers are available before signing up.

Do I have to get rid of my old Fax Number?

Some fax to email services will allow you to port your number to their service. This isn't available from every provider, nor is it available for every city state/province. Before signing up be sure to ask the question via the companies support contact form, or via an online chat.

An alternative to porting your fax number is forwarding your old number to your new Internet fax number. This can be done at your local level with your current fax number provider. This is very useful if you have material printed or business cards with the old fax number already on them.

Will the quality of my faxes be the same as sending them from a machine?

Yes, sending a fax via email is every bit as dependable as a fax machine, and the quality is just as good. Since the documents you're sending go directly from being digital on your computer to the recipents fax machine the only quality lost should be when they're recieved. If anything this could improve the quality of the faxes you send.
