Fax to Email

Send and receive faxes as ordinary email attachments - no fax machine, no dedicated phone line.

Fax to email keeps a business’s existing fax number working for the suppliers, government departments, and older systems that still rely on it, without needing an actual fax machine or a dedicated analogue line sitting behind it. Incoming faxes arrive as PDF attachments in a regular inbox, and outgoing faxes can be sent the same way.

This is typically set up as a straightforward add-on alongside a hosted phone system, using either an existing fax number or a new one.

Key features

  • Incoming faxes delivered straight to email as PDF attachments
  • Send faxes from email without a physical fax machine
  • Keep an existing fax number, or set up a new one
  • No dedicated analogue line required

Frequently asked questions

Can we keep our current fax number?

In most cases, yes - your existing fax number can usually be ported across the same way a phone number would be.

Do we need any special software to send or receive faxes this way?

No - faxes arrive and are sent as ordinary email attachments, so no dedicated fax software is needed.
