First, here are a few terms you will want to make yourself familiar with...
Gmail – this is the free email service from Google. It has tremendous capability and can be configured to do just about anything.
It’s primary benefits are, the number one spam filter in the industry and it’s check anywhere, remote capabilities.

Fax Service – This is an online fax service that provides you with a fax number that you can send and receive with.
Web-based email companies like Gmail have all opened up the ability to send and receive faxes. Certain communication ports that allow faxing, used to be closed, but not any longer.
To configure your google fax service, you will want to follow the steps below.
Step 1. Sign up for a Gmail address on http://gmail.com If you do not have one already, have a cell phone handy because they will need to send you a text message for verification that you are a real person.
Step 2. Select an online fax company to deliver your faxes for you. For a limited time, RingCentral is offering a FREE 30-day trial so you can try, before you buy.

Step 3. Next step. Open up your gmail and click the Compose Mail button on the left hand side.
Step 4. Now you attach a document or picture or type in some text. Anything you want to send by fax.
Step 5. In the email address bar, you type the fax number along with the fax servicing company’s private extension.
Step 6. Click on the Send Mail button and that’s it, you are now a fax by gmail expert.
One last item. You have probably heard from several people that there are free faxes online.
There are, and there aren’t.
Before I added this how-to article, I tried several of them. The limitations were very frustrating. More than I was willing to deal with to avoid a few dollars each month.
Ads on my faxes, two page limitations, only one fax per day and then the clincher… send and no receive or receive and no send. All of these services are setup to make money. Either you pay for your faxes, or they will find someone else to. I have not been able to successfully send and receive a fax with Gmail, and a free service. I will update here if I am able to.
