≡ ViaTalk to Offer Fax-to-Email Service
A recent post on DSLReports by ViaTalk CEO Brendan Brader states the company will soon launch a fax-to-email service similar to that offered by eFax.
The functionality of such a service is pretty basic: a fax sent is converted to a PDF and then emailed to the user. On the outgoing side, users can upload PDF files that will be converted and faxed out. ViaTalk will also offer an email to fax gateway that would allow people to send an email that is converted automatically and faxed, as opposed to preparing a PDF document.
Although I don’t fax much, we all know trying to accomplish it over VoIP can be hit or miss. This feature will remove such issues completely. Furthermore, it will allow those of us who don’t fax a viable way to communicate with those who do.
With a little luck, we’ll see the fax machine disappear altogether…
