The smartphone has become an essential companion to work better: it allows you to reply to e-mails, work on Word and Excel documents, download and edit PDFs and scan important documents. Few of you will know, but your smartphone also allows you to send faxes.
Although email has become the most used tool at work, some companies still require faxing of documents. If we are on the bus or cannot use the company phone, you can send faxes with your smartphone. To do this, however, it is necessary to rely on third-party applications or services. The applications are not completely free: you can send a limited number of pages for free, but if you have to send a fax with dozens of pages you will have to pay. Most services offer a monthly subscription that allows unlimited faxing.
Usually faxes send documents with confidential or personal data. For this reason we advise you to use applications or services that guarantee the security of your information.
