Another great feature from Nextiva online fax is that you can choose to offer your callers a toll free number, so that it does not cost them anything to send you faxes, or if you do a lot of business in one particular area, you can choose a local number so that faxes can be sent to you at a low local rate.

Fax over Email
Online faxing is very much like using a email system. For example, with Nextiva you can forward faxes on to email addresses. This means if you receive a fax document from a conventional fax number, it will automatically be converted into an electric file format, and this can then be saved on your computer or forwarded on to an email address. Fax over email is also useful if the fax machine you are trying to transmit to is busy or out of order, as this means you can just send you fax to the recipient’s email address instead.
Fax from Microsoft Office
You can save a lot of time with Nextiva by sending faxes directly from Microsoft Office applications such as Word, PowerPoint and Excel, and when you are in a document, you will be able to go into the tool bar and select the ‘Fax’ command, just as you would ‘Print’ or ‘Save’ and this will automatically set up your document ready for faxing, straight from within the program.
Fax Web Portal
You can send and receive faxes through the Nextiva Online Portal, and this is very easy as all you need to do is log into your Nextiva account, open up a new fax message, type in the recipient’s address and any cover message and then attached the fax as an electronic document and send. Nextiva will automatically convert the file for you into whatever format is needed and send it to the recipient’s number.
