Transferring a traditional fax number to eFax will mean that you now have access to a fax number accessible from anywhere in the world without being limited to a fixed location and connection point.

It also means you can send and receive faxes with any internet enabled device with the convenience of fax to email etc. The other benefit is that your fax number will always be online on the cloud – meaning it will never be busy and can handle sending and receiving of faxes concurrently without the waiting.

The only guaranteed way to reliably send and receive faxes on the nbn™ is to use an online fax service (also known as ‘digital fax’).

With the impending disconnection of copper fax services as the NBN roll out progresses, eFax can help you retain your fax number, as well as providing immediate cost savings and streamlining your business practices.

eFax can seamlessly transfer your existing fax number off the copper telephony network and host it in the cloud. This enables you to access your faxes anywhere you have an internet (or mobile phone) connection. Sending and receiving faxes using eFax is as simple as using your email account. eFax even has an easy to use mobile app which is compatible with both Apple and Android devices.

Just get your existing fax number provider/telco to divert your existing fax number to the eFax temporary fax number until your port request is completed. You can then receive all your faxes sent to your existing fax number into the eFax account and send faxes using your temporary fax number using eFax. Once the number is ported over to eFax, we will simply replace the temporary fax number with your existing fax number under the same eFax account.
