Inbound Fax

Although sometimes regarded as old fashioned, fax remains an essential part of many businesses and is likely to do so for the next few years.

Receiving faxes in your email inbox can help keep all your communications in one place and allow you to receive faxes in either PDF or TIFF image format.
