Online Fax Features

Besides cost, there are several important features that you should take into account when selecting an online fax provider besides price. See the chart below to compare what each online fax provider has to offer.

1If it's important for you to have the ability to send and receive faxes from multiple email addresses, make sure that the provider you select offers that capability.

2One of the nice benefits of using online fax is that you automatically have the faxes you send and receive on file in your account. The difference between service providers is that they allow you to keep the files for differing amounts of time. This usually is between 30 days to 1 year.

3While all the providers we examined offer phone support, the hours that they are available is not always the same. If you might need help with a technical issue during off-peak hours, you want to be sure that your provider offers round-the-clock customer service over the phone.

4If you want a fax number that is easy for people to remember, several of the providers enable you to select vanity numbers.

5If you want a fax to go through at a specific time, some providers allow you to schedule a fax transmission.
