How to Send a Fax from Your Smart phone

Fax App For Android
Although email has certainly demolished the fax machine, most of the people still essential to send a fax to another, maybe two faxes in a year so strange,
outdated establishment. Thankfully, you can do it with nothing but your android phone or smart phone. Here's how.

It may be because of the anomaly of need, android phones or smart phones now have fax apps, are a treasure trove of scams, involved billing systems, and hidden monthly subscription charges. While you can download and use fax application on your smart phone, android phone or window phone to send faxes, the app pacific needs to dial into a telephone network to do so.

Due to that, you will be probably need to allowance at least a little bit of money to send a fax, depending on the total number of pages you need to send. We didn't have any luck finding a predictable application that given more than a handful of faxes for free. Still, these applications can do a lot to make sending that fax simple and easier.

Send a Fax from Android

Fax Android App

You have a billion of different options for fax applications on Android as well as window phone, and nearly all of them seem like scams. If you just need to send a huge amount of pages, we like Fax Burner, which allows you to send five pages for free (and receive 25, if that's your thing). Just open up the app, register on for an account and then select the pages you want to fax from either your phone's storage. 

Fax Burner doesn't have a built-in scanner, but it does have a photo mode if you want to just snap a picture of a document and hope for the best. Otherwise, you'll need digital copies of anything you need to fax before you use the app. If you need to fax more than five pages, the price jumps to an annual subscription of $80, so it's really only useful if you need it all the time or just once.

If you need more than five pages and an $80 subscription is too much, Fax File seems to be your best choice. It uses a credit system for sending faxes. Its 10 credits per page, and credit packages are available as in-app purchases for $2.49 per 50 credits (five pages), $10 for 250 (25 pages) credits, and up. You can send PDF, DOC, PNG, or JPG files.

Send a Fax from iOS  

App For iOS
Depending on what you need to do, we have two different recommendations for faxing on iOS. Like with Android, if you just need to send one fax, one time, we like Fax Burner (Free). Fax Burner lets you send up to five pages for free and receive up to 25 pages per month for free.

For a more rounded approach, we like Tiny Fax (Free). Tiny Fax uses a credit system, where you need to purchase credits and use those to send faxes (for 10 credits per page). You can buy 50 credits (five pages) for $2.99 or 250 (25 pages) for $9.99. Tiny Fax packs in a built-in scanner for scanning in your documents, and a cover letter builder to make a professional looking cover letter in just a couple taps. It also connects with Drop box, Box, and Google Drive so you can easily grab documents from there.

Once you get the pages you want to fax in order, simply tap the giant start button, pick your pages, enter the fax number, then tap the "Add Cover" page to add a cover letter. Tiny Fax will tell you how many credits you need to send your fax, which you can purchase right in the app. Tap the send button and you're all done.
