eFax Service
Service Overview
eFax service allows you to send and receive faxes using your computer. Benefits of using eFax:
- You do not need to wait at the fax machine. Fax is sent to user’s eFax account and it will be forwarded to the user’s email as attachment;
- Increase confidentiality: Faxes are no longer received by a fax machine which is easily accessed by other people;
