Q: I have a fax machine that I depend on for work. If I switch to VoIP will I still be able to use my current fax machine
A: Good question ! You might be able to pursue the fax on your machine, depending on the service you choose. Most of our business VoIP services offer traditional fax examined with an extra line or fax the Internet - which is usually included free with service. Internet faxing is completely paperless, so there is no need for the physical machine. Faxes are sent as PDF attachment via e-mail, a Web-based interface and / or dedicated software. Visit our FAQ Internet Fax for more information on how Internet faxing works.
Please be aware that some home VoIP services - such as Vonage - do not offer fax with their home VoIP services, while others - including VOIPo - allow one-way fax, which means that you can receive faxes with their home VoIP service.
However, if you work from home and need the ability to send faxes, you always have the option to change your phone service at home to VoIP and send faxes by subscribing to Internet fax service. Even with two different services for calls and faxing, you will save money because both VoIP and Internet faxes are cheaper options for traditional telephone lines and traditional fax.
