The internet fax facility from RingCentral (News - Alert) allows users to receive faxes in their email inbox as well as any document from within any Microsoft Windows application. The users’ subscription includes a local or toll-free phone number, free fax software, and many other features.
Recently, the company announced that it will provide Skype (News - Alert) users with the functionality of internet faxing. RingCentral is commonly used with Skype, offering a 30-day free trial that lets individuals decide whether or not internet faxing is really the best choice for their own requirements.
For companies, this is a chance that proves to be inexpensive and affordable, irrespective of what the budget may be. Those who are already using Skype know how RingCentral offers a special fax number that can be utilized for all of their sending and receiving needs. Unlike Skype, these numbers are dedicated, and data is sent in various ways guaranteed to be foolproof and secure for receiving and sending the data associated with fax transmissions.
The combination of Skype and RingCentral is suited to individual users who are often traveling. The use of Skype allows these individuals to have access to phone communication around the world. Additionally, the use of RingCentral lets them send and receive faxes from anywhere, the company stated in a press release.
“I have found RingCentral to be the best accompaniment to Skype, says Matt Gerchow, founder of WebProps, LLC.
