Free Resources for WAHMs: Free Fax 2 Email Number
Are you a WAHM (Work At Home Mom) and need a fax number?
Did you know that you no longer have to rent a phone line, in order to be able to receive faxes? In fact, you no longer even need a fax machine!
Instead you receive your faxes, as attachments to your email! Doesn’t that make life a lot easier? It will certainly save you costs in the long run, and anything that saves on paper, saves trees, and that’s good for the planet, which scores major points in my book.
You can go to this website now, and get your own free fax to email number, by simply signing up. (Only available to South African Residents).
- A fax to email number can be printed on your business stationery, and business cards as soon as you receive it.
- People then fax as normal to the number, as you’ve given it to them.
- You then receive the fax, on an email, attached as a .pdf file. Most computers can read these files, but if you have any trouble, then you need to download Adobe Reader (look for the free reader bottom right).
- It’s really that simple to begin to receive faxes. This is really useful, if you need to receive fax orders for the business that you are running from home.
- If you have a smart phone, like a Blackberry or iPhone, you can then also receive your email wherever you are, at the shops, waiting to pick up your kids from school etc. So you need never be out of touch, or miss another order!
Fax 2 Email is by no means a new technology, but it certainly is very helpful, particularly when you are first starting out in business on your own, because it opens yet another potential communication channel between you and your customers. This service is provided free by Vodacom, as they receive an incentive from Telkom based on the number of inbound faxes. Therefore it costs you, the consumer nothing to receive your faxes on email. There are numerous places that offer this service and you are under no obligation to use vodacom as the service reseller.
Please note that for you to SEND a fax is not free. However, if you are operating with email and internet, in most cases, companies should provide you with an option to email information that you need, or even email in scanned documents as an alternative to sending a fax.
There should always be a way to do something for free.
