Internet Faxing enables you to send and receive faxes from your existing email account, without a fax machine. These services bridge the gap between traditional faxes and the new world of Internet-based communications. Internet faxing provides you with the capability to send or receive faxes over the Internet. You can now forget about the hassles of dealing with traditional fax equipment – no more paper jams, no waiting by the fax machine, no more paper, no extra phone lines or maintenance.

Internet Fax Provider, MyFax and RingCentral are three leading providers of Internet faxing services. All services enable users to receive faxes via email (fax-to-email) using a local or toll-free 'virtual' fax number. Users can also send faxes from their email (email-to-fax). Below is a comparison of the three services.
