Do I Need a Gmail Fax Number?

If you want to receive faxes on your Gmail, you will need a number, but not just any number.  Currently email fax services offer toll-free or local virtual fax numbers.  They will ensure that you have a service compatible with all fax machines in the market. Without a virtual fax number, you may be able to send fax from Gmail, but not to receive any. Almost all companies offer you the chance of choosing a new number or keeping your current one –if you are still using a fax machine.  This number is given to you totally free of charge as part of your current plan. If you are in the USA, there are many different companies offering Gmail fax numbers all across the country so you’ll have no trouble finding an area of coverage.  On the other hand, people outside USA may need to try local options or international fax services such as RingCentral (Canada and UK), MyFax (Canada and UK) and eFax (this service is available to 43 different countries and thousands of cities around the world). Of course, the best is to ask before signing up for a service and make sure that your virtual fax number is working correctly by sending a sample fax.
