Email to fax – it can be done without using a fax machine

This was a great discovery today. I need to send a fax and wondered where I could go to do this since I don't own a fax machine.

Free online services
I came across a few posts suggesting free online services to use amongst which were:
‘5 Free Online Services to Send an Email to a Fax Machine’ http://goo.gl/w2xG
‘How to Fax Without Using a Fax Machine’ http://goo.gl/0Hxh75

However, before trying these out I noticed that my regular ADSL provider, MWEB, also has a free service for email to fax for their regular customers. http://www.mweb.co.za/small-bussiness-online-tools/fax-to-email/faxmail-standard.aspx  Hooray!

I am just noting what they say here so I can refer to it when I try it out:

1. What do I need?

2.  How does it work?

3. Do I need special software to use faxmail?


4. How many fax numbers will I receive?


5. Limitations



Well, it seems that it is all go for me. So let’s try it out!
