Email to fax FAQs

• Is there a free fax to email service?

  You will need to subscribe to a service before you can send or receive faxes through email. Once you sign up, mFax issues the unique toll-free number required to send and receive faxes. We offer a menu of paid plans designed to suit customers’ changing needs.

  Some companies offer free service, but options are limited, and they are not ideal for heavy fax users.

  Several companies provide a free toll-free number that will allow you to send faxes via email, but not all of them will enable you to receive faxes. Businesses that do not charge for the service also limit the number of faxes users can send. Once the limit is reached, you need to pay for additional faxes.

  A better option is to try a reliable service for free. mFax offers a free 14-day trial that lets users test the service without obligation. After the trial expires, you can choose a plan scaled to the volume of faxes you send and receive.

• How do I get a Gmail fax number?

  Google does not offer a fax service. However, you can get a toll-free fax number from mFax and then link it to your email account, allowing you to send or receive faxes through Gmail.

  When you sign up and request a number, mFax sends it directly to your Gmail account in an email. The email also contains a link you must click to activate your account. You will then send a fax to mFax using the new number. At that point, your email account is linked to mFax, and you use it to send and receive faxes.
