Free online fax
Below we have collected what, in our opinion, are the best services to send and receive faxes for free through email, so that you do not have to use a traditional telephone fax service (which always provides additional costs).
Faxator
One of the best sites to send faxes online for free is definitely Faxator.
The site requires free registration: to perform it, simply enter the email address from which you intend to use the service and enter a mobile number (as a confirmation tool, so as to receive the personal certificate).
To send the fax at this point, simply send an email from any type of account (Google, Outlook etc.) to the address , inserting the recipient's fax number in the subject. Attached to the email we insert the file containing your fax in a Word, Works, Excel, Rtf, Pdf, Jpg or Gif format and, in addition, the cds file with the personal safety certificate.
The Faxator service will send, in a few minutes, an email with the notification of the fax sending and the transmission receipt attached (very important to be able to certify the sending).
By accessing the reserved area of Faxator, with the registered email and the chosen password, you can see the sending status of your emails / faxes .
The service offers a free service with some limitations: we can in fact send up to 10 pages per month . The faxes will be sent from Monday to Friday between 8 and 20, on Saturday from 8 to 13 (excluding holidays). If we send an email after 20, the fax will be sent the following morning from 8 onwards, excluding Sundays and holidays.
Regarding file restrictions, documents attached to the fax must be less than 1MB in size and cannot exceed 5 pages in length.
Faxalo
Another very convenient service with which you can send faxes for free is Faxalo.
On the same main page, simply enter a valid email, click Send code and wait for the new code to arrive, so as to complete the registration for the service. Once the account is obtained, we will be able to access the dedicated area of the site, where you can upload the document (in PDF or TIFF format) and, by entering the fax number, we will be able to send the document using this technology, without paying anything!
Also in this case there is a limitation regarding the size of the documents: they must not exceed 1 MB in order to be sent correctly. Keeping the account free, we can proceed with the sending of three faxes per day, for a maximum of 20 faxes per month : a more than sufficient limit to be able to send a fax sporadically when we close a contract or when we need to send an important document to the public administration. Obviously we can subscribe to one of the many subscriptions available, so as to increase the number of faxes that can be sent in a day or a month and keep a directory of the most used numbers, so that we can also receive faxes.
FaxZero
A foreign service that allows you to send faxes for free via the internet is Faxzero.
The site allows you to immediately send the fax, without even going through the emails: we fill in all the required fields on the page (both our data and those of the recipient), scroll the page and choose whether to upload a document (DOC, DOCX and PDF supported ) or whether to write the content of our fax by hand. When ready, simply enter the confirmation code displayed in the Confirmation code field and finally click Send Free Fax Now .
In a few minutes the fax will be sent to the competent office, without further steps and problems. The limitations of the free account are very good: we can in fact send up to 3 pages plus cover for each fax, up to a maximum of 5 faxes every day.
Hellofax
A service similar to that seen a moment ago, that is, a fax completely online without using email, is Hellofax.
To use the service, click on Get started, register a free account using Google or any email address, then use the site interface to be able to send any fax, even to foreign numbers (since the service is abroad, both Italian and foreign fax numbers).
With a free account you can send up to 5 faxes, after which you need to subscribe to be able to send a larger number.
Faxapp
Another free service useful for sending and receiving faxes is Faxapp.
Compared to the sites seen so far, it offers unlimited sending of any fax for a 10-day trial period, without obligation (we will not have to enter any credit card number). The peculiarity of the service is that, in addition to being able to send faxes via email or from the site interface, we will be able to receive an Italian fax number, which can be used to receive faxes from our customers (if they are still being used or we have to manage many public documents administration).
MyFax
The last free fax service we want to report is MyFax.
By registering on this site we will have a 30-day free trial, with which you can send and receive any type of fax, either by email or by dedicated fax number. Compared to the previous service, here we will have full assistance in Italian, so that we can manage a fax service for our business without necessarily having a dedicated telephone number and the relative multifunction with integrated fax.
