IFax refers to the way of sending fax or documents over the internet. The standard way of faxing or sending documents from one location to another is through telephone lines. In this standard and traditional way, both the sender and receiver of the fax message must have a telephone line in order to be able to send and receive documents. The sender just needs to dial the number of the telephone receiver and the connection will be established in sending the document hard copy. In today’s modern world, people make use of the Internet in sending fax documents to other locations. With IFax services, documents are sent from the sender to the receiver via the internet. No more phone lines are necessary in terms of document or data transfer.

Ifax may also be referred to as electronic fax, online fax, web fax or e-fax. All these terms refer to faxing over the Internet Protocol. Faxing through the VOIP or Voice Over Internet Protocol is also part of the general term “Ifax”. The best thing about Ifax is its no-phone line requirement. For many people and businesses, using Ifax will simply translate to lower communications and operations costs. Only the standard internet connection fees are paid and documents can be sent easily from one location to another. Ifax is also integrated with common email services since it works under various internet protocols. This simply translates to faster transfer of information and efficiency in a workplace. With email integration, a faxed document may be sent to other recipients in a matter of minutes or even seconds.

Most Ifax services also come with data encryption and this makes the data transfer more secure and efficient. With many businesses relying on the internet for much of their operations and activities, having IFax is a great way to send out documents to colleagues, partners, clients, or customers without having to worry on data security and integrity. IFax may also be configured to work over the intranet only or restricted to a particular network of computers in order to further secure the data transfer.
