Top 5 online fax services to consider in 2019

Faxing is still widely used everywhere in the world, even though it went through major transformations over time. Conventional, landline-based faxing has been replaced by online faxing, also called virtual, digital, internet faxing, e-faxing and so on.

The benefits of online faxing are indisputable: it is more affordable, more versatile, and more environmentally- responsible.
