Fax to Email

Maybe old fashioned but still essential

Although faxes are sometimes regarded as old fashioned, they remain an essential part of business and are likely to do so for the next few years. This is probably why our Fax to Email service is one of the most popular services we offer.

Put simply, it allows you to receive faxes without having to use a fax machine.

How does it work?
Fax to Email
  • Typically a single page fax takes about 25 seconds to come through. We'll take the incoming fax and convert it into an image (in TIFF format, or a PDF if you prefer).
  • The image is then emailed to you, meaning you can receive faxes anywhere you can access your email account. You can save, forward, print or delete your faxes as you would your emails.
  • We can handle tens of thousands of faxes at the same time, so your fax number will never be busy.

  • View and manage your faxes wherever you can access your email.
  • Faxes are confidential as they are sent directly to an email address.
  • Save time and money by only printing the faxes that you need.

Using 'virtual' numbers

All of our numbers are 'virtual' numbers meaning they're not attached to a physical phone line or local exchange. We forward calls made to these numbers to your chosen destination - this could be a landline, mobile or international number.

The main benefits of using a virtual number are:

  • No need to install a phone line, so no line rental to pay.
  • More flexible than a fixed line number, simply take your number with you if you move premises.
  • Change where your calls are forwarded to at any time; free of charge.
  • Use to forward calls to your mobile number for a low rate.
  • Improve your customer experience by attaching Call Management services to your number such as Call Whisper, Voicemail or interactive voice menu's

Memorable Numbers

Memorable numbers are all about being easy to recognise and remember - that's why taxi companies use them all of the time. Our Gold, Platinum and Diamond price bands are where you'll find our most memorable numbers. Any type of business, regardless of size or industry can benefit from having a memorable (or 'special') number - it all works towards making the most of opportunities and encouraging your inbound calls.

A memorable number can be made up of numbers or letters. A numerical memorable number could look something like this:

0131 610 6000 or 0333 444 3 444 or 0808 192 9 192

An alpha number (where numbers can be shown as letters) could look something like this:

0845 468 MINT (0845 468 6468) or 0115 882 TAXI (0115 882 8294)

Cost to receive faxes

If you choose an 0845, 0844 or 0871 number there's no cost to you to receive faxes on these numbers.

if you choose an 01, 02, 03 or 0800 number, you'll need to add call credit to your account to cover the costs of receiving faxes. You can use either our Pay As You Go system and top up as and when you need to, or if you'd prefer to budget your call costs regularly you can use our Pay Monthly service. If you're expecting to receive quite a few faxes you'll also see the Pay Monthly rates improve with each tariff.
