CocoFax: Online Fax Made Easy and Free

Fax is a very popular medium of communication today with billions of users all over the world. However, the process of sending and receiving faxes today is not what it used to be decades ago.

As all faxes were transmitted over phone lines through fax machines, the cost of communicating via fax ran high along with other maintenance requirements. This is why, the field of faxing evolved and now you can fax without a fax machine or a phone line.

This is done with the help of online fax services that transmit fax through the internet. While there are a lot of fax services to choose from, not every fax service is worth its salt.

CocoFax is one of the most popular and commonly used fax services today. Therefore, many professionals often wonder if it is a good idea switching to CocoFax as compared to other methods of faxing.

Therefore, here is a detailed review that will examine every aspect of CocoFax for faxing through the internet.

Part 1: What is CocoFax

CocoFax is the leading online fax service provider in the world, catering to the communication needs of countless professionals globally. With CocoFax, you can fax any person in any corner of the world by using your computer, laptop, phone, or any other device.

1.1 CocoFax’s Working Procedure

Typically, fax communication works on phone lines that are connected to your fax machine. This is why people had to get a phone line connection and a fax machine in order to send and receive faxes.

However, things are different with CocoFax. CocoFax allows you to send and receive faxes over the internet, even though the internet works on a digital platform. This is because CocoFax acts as a translator, converting fax’s analogue signals to digital and vice versa.

This is the reason why you cannot send and receive faxes directly from the internet and you need a translator in between like CocoFax. And CocoFax seems to be pretty good at this job.

Part 2: CocoFax Faxing Methods

The good thing about CocoFax is that you aren’t just stuck with one way to send and receive a fax. CocoFax allows you multiple faxing methods and you can choose any that you like based on your convenience. The ways to fax with CocoFax include:

The process is the same as old school faxes, the only difference is the convenience you get (along with saved costs).

There are many other methods through which you can fax with CocoFax. However, these are the only ones you will need and you are going to use.

Part 3: CocoFax Fax Number

You need a fax number to send and receive faxes, no matter which way you choose to fax. This is true for a fax machine as well as an online fax service.

In the case of a fax machine, you are supposed to get your fax number from your telephone operator. That can be a complicated process with a lot of forms to fill.

However, if you go ahead with using CocoFax, the latter takes complete care of this requirement.

Free Fax Number

CocoFax assigns you a free fax number which you can use to send and receive faxes. You don’t even have to provide your payment details for this.

However, this fax number is valid for a limited time so you can evaluate CocoFax’s service. If you would like to keep this fax number permanently, you can get a subscription plan from CocoFax.

CocoFax’s services are so good that most users I know quickly jumped for a subscription plan even before the free fax number expired. Therefore, if you are looking for a genuine fax service, it is assured that you will find one in CocoFax.

The same goes for the cover page as well. You can choose to add a cover page if you wish. This is the first page that the recipient will receive on top of the fax document.

While your job is done here, CocoFax makes sure to give you complete accountability. You get a delivery report about whether the fax was unsuccessful or not in your web dashboard (and also your email address).

4.1 How to Fax from Email

Being able to fax from your email client adds a whole new layer of convenience to fax than you ever imagined. It combines the portability of using email with the added security and confidentiality of using fax services.

Here are the steps to use it:

Sending Faxes through Email

Step 1: Register for CocoFax and enjoy the 30-day free trial period. Make sure that you use the email address from which you wish to fax.

Step 2: Open your email client on any device. For example, if you want to use a Gmail address to fax, you can open Gmail on the web browser of your phone or computer or even use the Gmail application.

Step 3: Click on the option which you use to create a new email. The new email popup will open. You will draft your fax here:

In the ‘To’ text field where you type the email address of the recipient, you will enter the fax number of the receiver followed by ‘@cocofax.com’. For instance, if the fax number of the recipient is 123456, you will need to enter: 123456@cocofax.com

The Subject field is optional. Anything you enter here will appear as a note on top of the fax document on the receiver’s end. You can choose to leave this field blank.

The same also applies to the email body. The email body is the cover page of the fax document on the receiver’s end. You can choose to leave the cover page empty if you wish. If you want to add a cover page, type it in the email body.

Now comes the important part- the actual fax document. You can attach the document to this email with the paper clip icon. You can also attach multiple documents together. However, it is a good idea to check that the filenames do not have any special characters.

Step 4: Once you have cross-checked, click on the send button. CocoFax will receive your email and forward it as a fax to the receiver’s fax machine.

Once you send the fax, you will shortly get a delivery report in your email inbox about the success of your fax. If your fax was unsuccessful, you will know about it as well.
