FaxFile

FaxFile is a versatile application that transforms your Android phone or tablet into a powerful fax machine, capable of sending a wide array of document types to any fax number within the USA, Canada, and numerous international destinations. This tool is particularly beneficial for users who need to fax documents on the go, without the hassle of traditional fax machines or the commitment to a monthly subscription service.

With this app, you can easily transmit PDFs, MS Word documents (both .doc and .docx formats), as well as PNG and JPG images which may have been captured by your device's camera. The process is straightforward: choose the file and input the fax number to send your document.

The application operates by sending your faxes to dedicated servers that manage the actual dispatch while providing status updates to you at each stage. Although fax credits are required to send faxes and these are non-refundable once a fax has commenced, the system ensures that retries for undelivered faxes occur automatically at no extra cost. Users are, however, advised to confirm fax number accuracy as this is a common cause of unsuccessful deliveries.

To cater to diverse needs, it allows sending faxes to saved contacts or new numbers entered specifically for a one-time transmission. It's worth noting that transmitting image file formats may take longer compared to text documents, so users should plan for additional time per page, especially when working with a slower data connection.

Designed to work across all Android devices, including tablets, the tool requires some form of network access, with WiFi being the preferred option. For those who require a cover page, there is a companion app, FaxCover. An essential feature for professionals, it also complies with HIPAA regulations, ensuring that the confidentiality of health information is maintained.
