If you have ever wondered what makes smart phones so popular, just think about the type of individual who uses such a device. And then imagine the freedom these smart phones allow. For the type of clients we typically see, mobility is a welcome commodity. But with reams of paperwork moving from one person to another, what benefit is mobility when you need to be close to the office?<\/p>\n

Back in the mid-1980’s, the fax machine became a popular solution. It reduced the need for high-cost courier services and eliminated some of the opportunity costs associated with time-sensitive documentation. The problem with the traditional fax machine today is that it needs to be hard-wired to an office. So, unless you or someone working for you sits next to this machine, you will never know that an important document has finally arrived for your review and execution.<\/p>\n

Finally, online fax services have evolved to the point where they offer real value, particularly for small businesses and entrepreneurs<\/a> who need to be mobile. Thanks to high-speed internet (hardwired and mobile) and low hardware costs, online fax services can transmit and store large files for a relatively low cost. As a result, you can outsource this chore for as little as $10 USD per month.<\/p>\n

On the surface, online fax services might not seem like such a big deal. Why outsource faxing for $120 per year when a fax machine goes for less than $30 and you can do it yourself? Well, $120 includes the phone line (how much does a dedicated fax line run you now?) More importantly for the small business owner<\/a>, it also includes forwarding your faxes by e-mail (yes, this includes your web-enabled smart-phone!). This allows you to receive faxes anywhere you can connect to the net.<\/p>\n

As for sending, you can fax out virtually any type of document, including JPG and those created in MS Word (there are 158 different file types that the industry’s best providers can accommodate). <\/p>\n

Since subscribers can operate from anywhere, questions arise as to the need for high-expense items like office leases, reception, telephone lines, etc. And since all faxes are imaged (both incoming and outgoing), even physical storage expenses can be reduced.<\/p>\n

The best service we have come across is one offered through myFax. Even at their lowest pricepoint of $10 per month, their package allows 200 incoming and 100 outgoing faxes plus a local or toll-free number registered at no charge. Their highest cost is $40 month, but all plans allow for data sent through their system to be stored for 1 year. What will typically happen is your faxes will get sent to your e-mail inbox as an attachment. However, if you do not have access to your inbox (either by computer or handheld), you can also access their web address and peruse documents there. Their interface is easy to use and very intuitive. Plus, it allows for higher volume mass faxes. <\/p>\n

Since most small business owners and entrepreneurs value flexibility, the fax machine of the 80’s has always been one of the last obstacles to true mobility. Through mFax, you can experience the pure meaning of mobility and start enjoying the savings immediately.<\/p>\n
