FAQs on Organic Fax-to-Email

May 31, 2011 - PRLog -- Nottingham, UK: “Here at Organic Numbers we are renowned for taking pride in taking every step possible to help the environment. One of our favourite environmentally friendly measures is our fax-to-email, which can be used for Organic 0845, 0844, local or 0800 numbers”, says Jenny Forbes, Head of Marketing at Organic Numbers. “We think it’s a fantastic system which is both environmentally friendly and a wonderfully helpful resource” says Forbes, “but it is still relatively new, so we appreciate that people might still have questions and want to know more about it, so we’ve written down the answers to some of the questions that we frequently get asked over the phone”.


How does fax-to-email help protect the environment?

With an ordinary fax machine you have to leave it switched on all day, every day in order to make sure that you receive your faxes. If a fax machine isn’t switched on, the fax won’t send to you and you could miss something important as well as infuriate the person trying to send a fax to you. Therefore, you have to leave it switched on constantly, wasting electricity. Also, when you do receive a fax, you have to use ink, toner and paper printing it.

With fax-to-email there is no fax machine. The person sending the fax sends it as normal, and it gets converted to a PDF and sent directly to your email inbox. You don’t have to leave your computer switched on to receive it, it just waits in your inbox the same as any other email. You can then read it on the screen if you want to, and only print it if you want or need to, whereas with a fax machine you would have had no choice, and would have probably ended up putting it in the bin.


What numbers can I have for fax to email?

Your fax to email number can be an 0800, 0845, 0844 or virtual local number. However, it has to be a separate number from your voice telephone number.

Does it cost anything to receive the faxes?

How long does it take to set up the numbers?

If you call during the day we will usually have it set up by tea time for you.


How does the billing work?
