What’s the easiest way to receive a fax if you don’t have a fax machine?

Question: What’s the easiest way to receive a fax if you don’t have a fax machine?
I’ve heard of fax to email but can a fax machine send to an email, how does that work?
This depends on the Fax Machine.. In today’s world most Fax machines are tied in with the copier/scanner. At my office I have a copy machine that will send email from fax, but keep in mind this is a commercial machine. At my house with my “all in one” I have to scan it and then send has a email from my computer.
email is easy way to receive if you don’t have fax machine.
The “fax to email” part is an internet fax service. You can’t really send a fax directly to any person’s email address…
When you sign up to an internet fax provider, you are given real fax number. You can give this number to your clients / friends etc and they can send you a fax from a fax machine to this number. The difference is that instead of it ringing in your house and an old fax machine answering the fax, the incoming fax is received and emailed to you as a PDF attachment.
Likewise, if you want to send an email to a fax machine, you would send the file you want to email to a specific email address that includes the destination fax number (varies with your provider, ex 4092314880@somefaxcompany.com). The attachment is then read and faxed out to the recipient’s fax machine.
I hope that makes sense — take a look at http://www.ebiztoolkit.com/internet-fax.html for more info on internet fax services if you need a little more of an explanation. 
the fax to email is a service that you get from a company… you are provided with an actual fax number, that when someone faxes you it gets forwarded to your email address as an attachment, usually a PDF file… that you can then print out…
for outgoing faxes, you would scan a document in PDF, or other compatible format with your e-fax provider, then sent it as an attachment in an email to a special formatted email address…
at my company, to send an e-fax to 212-555-1212 we would just email a PDF file as an attachment to 2125551212@fax.send2fax.com then it would be sent to the fax machine as a regular fax…
but the easiest way… the way that i do things, because the volume of faxes that i deal with, i just go to staples, and pay the or so to send or receive faxes…

How do I get email notifications when I receive a fax?
Posted by in Fax Software on January 26, 2012
Question: How do I get email notifications when I receive a fax?
Is there a way to hook up my computer to my fax/printer and get email notifications to my blackberry?
You will need an online fax number to receive the notifications by email…same goes for the blackberry notification.
I have been using Gmail to send and receive faxes. Your Gmail on your blackberry will pop when you have a new fax as well.

Why do callers receive a faxing noise when calling my home phone, when we don’t own a fax machine?
Posted by in Fax Free on January 24, 2012
Fax Service: Why do callers receive a faxing noise when calling my home phone, when we don’t own a fax machine?
Maybe once a week or so, friends and family calling our house phone receive a fax noise.My husband & I have heard it ourselves when calling the house.We don’t even own a fax machine!There are also times that we hear our voices echo back when on a call, and clicking sounds.All the phones in the house a cordless and are pretty much the best you can buy, not cheap phones, (I don’t thnk that has much to do w/ anything anyway).It seems nobody knows what this could be, not even the phone company.The phone company said that IT IS NOT somebody trying to fax us simutaneously as the person that is calling us.So, we would like to know if there are any other reasons for this to happen?Is our phone being tapped, and our conversations being recorded for some odd reason?Please, somebody tell us what’s going on?
RE: Awesome…..If you read my question, you would have noticed that I did in fact call the phone company (AT&T) and they could not give me an answer.So you’re the Tard Monkey, little boy.Everyone else, thank you for your time and giving me your respectful feedback.By the way, I do not have dial-up, but I do have a network of computers, so that very well might be the problem.Thank you.
your phone line is crossed with someone elses . Call ATT for repair.
Dont you think that your phone provider would be better suited to answer this question tard monkey?
if you have dial up and you only have one line it will do that when people call
Your lines are crossed up. Contact your telephone service provider to have this fixed.
Do you have a PC or laptop connected to the land line?… some modems/software interdict incoming calls as fax transmissions. Try calling with the computer connected and any fax software running and then try without. Hope that it works for you. Best regards.

FAQ: How do i vote in the presidential election if i have yet to receive my absentee ballot (in california)?
Posted by in Fax Online on December 20, 2011
Question: How do i vote in the presidential election if i have yet to receive my absentee ballot (in california)?
heres the deal. On october 20, which was the deadline to turn your voter registration in california, I faxed my dad the papers in which he turned in for me. I was supposed to receive the ballot i believe before this week. By the way, I’m attending school in d.c. However, I havent received it yet. I tried seeing if i could mail them an absentee form or fax it to my dad. but online it says that you have print out a request for it then they’ll mail it to you. but i only have 2 days. What should i do? I don’t know the rules and everything. Oh and the reason I didnt find out sooner. I had 2 exams and a presentation to do so I was focused on that and then realized at the last minute.
Most Counties in California won’t accept a faxed absentee voter application. Call your County’s Registrar of Voter…but you may be SOL.
Well, it’s just too late now. You gotta get way out in front of this sort of thing, not wait until the final deadline. In the future, CALL your local voter registration office and work with whatever system they have, don’t add a middle-man and faxes to the process. It doesn’t matter for Calif. anyway, they will go 60% + for Obama.

You are tying yourself up. Get three (3) dedicated lines.
Answer by Kalei o puuwai
Yep thats how it is unless you have a split coupler that you should have gotten from you dsl carrier.
Answer by Julie B
You don’t need to get an additional phone line, just fax from the Internet. Internet faxing is reliable and safe. Faxes are sent and received from your email. Take a look at http://www.myfax.com for some more information.
Answer by exbelltel
Hi junior20:The telephone line has both dialtone & DSL on the same pair of wires. At the jack where you have your DSL modem plugged in, you need a splitter (somtimes called an adapter).Unplug your DSL modem cord. Plug in the splitter. Plug the DSL modem cord into one splitter jack (NO FILTER).Plug a DSL filter into the other splitter jack. Plug the FAX into the filter. With DSL, all phones, faxes, answering machines & etc. require a DSL filter. This is required to keep the DSL digital signal out of the phones(digital sounds like eggs frying).This should correct your problem. exbelltel

Intellifax 770 can send and not receive – need a better internet researcher than myself?
Posted by in Fax Internet on October 2, 2011
Ask by AnnaBelle: Intellifax 770 can send and not receive – need a better internet researcher than myself?
We recently acquired a Brother Intellifax 770 we need to use for three weeks. We can send faxes and not receive. When we dial the fax # from a regular phone, we get the shriek sound of reaching a fax, but when sending a test fax, the sending machine repeatedly says “function was not completed.” the sending machine can successfully send faxes elsewhere.
The display on the Intellifax says RECEIVING when a fax call is coming in, but nothing happens. (I’ve confirmed paper is loaded properly, it does print properly when printing a report.)
The owners manual, found online, is not helpful nor was my search for “brother intellifax 770 not receiving” in google.
I hope someone is a great googler for me. This is really annoying.
p.s., it is set to auto receive FAX ONLY.

Answer by amberlotusthompson
Try turning off, auto receive, and test if you can receive faxes, manually.

After you click on “Print”, do this:
Under “Print range” click on “Pages” and then fill in the page range that you want to send.
Only those pages will then be faxed.

eFax.com allows you to recieve them directly to your email address, whether you’re with Cox or another ISP. Sign up for the free account, download their software and they will issue you an open phone number … It could be anywhere in the US …. you’ll have to pay a month if you want it in your home area code or for a toll free number.
Then, you can remote check your faxes as easy as you check your email … because you will be checking for them as part of your emails.
