Fax to email, and email to fax
To send a fax, email the document to <number>@fax.utbox.net — 12341234@fax.utbox.net, say. UTBox
converts it and sends it to that fax number. Faxes arriving on your own number are forwarded straight
to your inbox, where you can print, file or delete them like any other email.
That is the part of internet fax you drive from your email client. The service behind it — the hosted number, the real fax equipment, the delivery reporting — is covered on the internet fax page.
Get a local number
You can select a UTBox fax number anywhere in Australia, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra and Perth, as well as numbers on the Gold Coast and in Penrith, Newcastle and Geelong. Anyone can then send a fax to that number and it is converted to an email and sent to your address. If you already have a number you want to keep, we can port it across.
What you can attach
Microsoft Office documents, Adobe Acrobat PDFs, images and even HTML — just about any document you like. The body of your email is sent first and is treated as the cover sheet.
Why fax by email
Most businesses, home offices and home users need a fax number. Businesses receive faxes constantly; home users may only receive one from time to time. Either way, sending and receiving by email saves on telephone line rental, paper, ink cartridges and maintenance, and removes the restriction of a single fixed-line fax machine.
Getting started
The service includes a free trial with start-up credits and your own fax number. There is no credit card, no authorisation and no waiting — select your number and you can start sending and receiving faxes today. If you need the numbers first, our fax pricing sets out the plans, and the rates cover per-page costs by destination.
