Can I Integrate Gmail Fax on My Cell Phone?

Gmail faxing is already a powerful tool to take your communications to the next level, but staying in front of a computer is not always possible, especially when your job requires you to be constantly on the move.  In these cases, integrating your Gmail fax account with a mobile solution is your best alternative.

Many folks have emailed us asking if they can access digital fax on a mobile phone. Yes you can fax using a cell phone, provided that your cell phone is a smartphone.  Some companies such as MyFax, Ringcentral Fax and eFax have developed mobile apps that can sync with your Gmail fax account. They use powerful smarthpone technology and apps; currently you can find apps for iPhones, Blackberry phones and Android phones.

To get started you need to sign up with an email fax service, but be careful because not all of them offer this option.  If you are in doubt just ask them via customer support (if they don’t answer your question, then it probably isn’t worth spending your time with this service!).

Once you have opened your account, you need to grab your cell phone and head over to the place where you download apps. In the case of iPhone users, for example, this would be the App Store. There you need to download the app that has been developed by the service of your choice.  These apps are totally free to download, avoid paying for fax apps that aren’t really helpful.

The app will then ask you to enter your login details, so proceed with that step and from there your app will be enabled to work on your phone.  You can configure the way notifications arrive and how you sort your faxes.  But what’s more important, you will be able to send and receive faxes instantly without wasting any time.
Be sure to try out these features first, by suing a free trial if you can.
