As landlines slowly disappear in this increasingly mobile society it can be expensive or complicated to work out how to keep your fax machine. I can hear all the techies saying "Why would you use fax?" but for many industries and in many countries (i.e. Japan) fax is still a requirement for daily business operations.

So what is the alternative? Growing in popularity and in providers is email to fax. The rather simple alternative which provides a virtual fax number and the ability to send and receive faxes via email.

 Recently I had the need to identify a suitable vendor for a friend and took the opportunity to look at what was on offer in the market so here is a guide to Australian fax to email vendors.
