You probably have questions about how fax number provisioning works, like:
- Fax number provisioning — what’s that?
- How can I receive a free fax number?
- Can I get a temporary fax number?
How Free Fax Numbers Work
Traditional faxing uses equipment that is connected to a dedicated landline (in the old days, fax machines shared lines with telephones — talk about frustrating!). The advantages of online faxing over analog (using a landline) include:
- Saves money: no monthly fax phone line bill, no special fax ink or paper, and no service calls to fix the fax machine
- Saves time: no slow dial-up connections, send and receive multiple faxes at the same time, quickly send and receive faxes
- Saves frustration: online fax services are easy to use — much easier than fax machines!
With Fax.Live, you do not need to set up your own telephone number and service. When you set up your account online, we’ll provision you a fax phone number. What does that mean? Fax number provisioning gives you your own, registered, activated and dedicated phone number that can be used to receive faxes. When you send a fax, you can use that provisioned fax number on your cover letter.
You’ll also be able to share that fax number on your marketing materials, including your website, social media, business cards and advertisements. As long as your Fax.Live account is active, that fax number is yours.
