Steps To Send A Fax

Sending and receiving faxes may be an old form of communication but it’s still relevant.  To this day, if you want to buy a house or do real estate transactions you most likely will need to fax paperwork.  Some banks still use faxes and even the IRS in some cases will only accept or send faxes.  It’s beyond me why a scanned copy of a document can’t be emailed but I don’t make these rules.  That’s why I wanted to share with you the few steps it takes to send a fax from your Phone.com control panel.

• First off what you’ll want to do is log into your Phone.com control panel
• Then on the left side of your screen click Send a Fax (last item in the column)
• Then fill out the form, you may choose not to use a cover page if you prefer, most importantly don’t forget to include the outgoing Fax Number
• You will need to Choose File and select what file it is you want to send
• Finally hit Preview Fax and if it’s acceptable press the Send Fax button

Your fax should be sent and if you left the box ticked you will get an email confirmation.

Do you still use fax machines in your workplace?  I can’t remember the last time I needed one but I do know it comes up every so often and when it does you’ll be glad to have the ability to send a fax from Phone.com.  Let us know if you have a fax machine in your office, we’re listening on Facebook and Twitter.
