WebFax

October 23, 2007

You and your employees can create and send professional faxes and broadcast them to multiple people in the US or overseas. You can block junk faxes, create custom cover pages, sign faxes electronically, and attach documents. All WebFax plans include free fax software. Faxing with it is as easy as printing a document.

You’ll have a variety of fax delivery options from which you can choose to receive faxes: Email, your online account, and your desktop fax management tool Call Controller. Faxes are stored in your online account for 30 days and you can download them to your PC for permanent storage. To edit and annotate your faxes, you can use the award-winning FaxEditor tool, which lets you add text and graphics or a signature, and to create custom cover sheets with your personalized logo.

Why should you use internet fax…

October 9, 2007

RingCentral provided an example of two small business owners, Al and Bob. Al uses traditional fax technology; Bob uses the online RingCentral Fax service. Before heading off to an important meeting, Al sends a fax: he prints a document, removes it from the printer, feeds the document into the fax machine, enters the phone number, presses “Send,” and waits. And waits. And waits. After a bunch of waiting, the transmission fails and he has to start all over again. He then arrives late to the meeting.

Meanwhile, Bob sends his fax directly from his computer, no printing necessary. With the document open, he simply clicks on a “fax” button. This opens a wizard window where Bob enters the fax number and then clicks on “send.” He closes the document and goes to his appointment. While driving to the appointment, Bob gets a text message on his cell phone: “Fax Send Complete.”

A similar scenario occurs when Al and Bob each receive an important fax. You probably will guess, correctly, that Al runs into lots of trouble (fax isn’t in the machine; no-one else in the office took it; waits for sender to re-send the fax; when it finally arrives the fax is nearly illegible). Bob breezes through the fax receive process.
