In this digital, mobile world, you may find yourself conducting business while waiting for an airplane or sitting in a traffic jam during a long commute. But what if you have to send a fax? There are several Internet fax companies that were created to meet this need. Here is how to send an Internet fax from the Web.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step1
Jump online and start researching Internet fax services. There are several services available, so take your time to compare their fees and review customer feedback.
Step2
Determine which service will best meet your business needs, then sign-up for that service. You will be required to provide payment information, such as a debit card, credit card or bank account number.
Step3
Find the document that you want to fax on your computer or mobile device. Hard-copies of documents will require you to first scan it into digital format. For soft-copies, also known as digital copies, that are already on your computer, simply take note of their location.
Step4
Login to your Internet fax service. Each company will have different options and directions on how to send a fax.
Step5
Following the on-screen instructions, upload the document you want to fax.

Type in the fax number for the recipient you are sending the fax to.
Step7
Click "Send" and the fax will be transferred electronically and printed out on the receiving party’s fax machine.

Tips & Warnings

  • Make sure that the service you use will send a confirmation email, so you can determine that the fax was transmitted properly.
  • For mass-volume faxing, you might have to pay more than the average monthly fee.
  • Be sure to read all "User Agreements" and payment Information so as not to subject yourself to hidden costs.
