Do you need to send a fax? That can be quite a challenge these days. Fortunately, you can now send faxes over the Internet - without a fax machine. Unfortunately, that often costs money. However, some routers, such as a Fritz! Box, can also send faxes. And it's practically free of charge, conveniently using your normal telephone tariff.

Send a fax from a website

There are several websites out there that will fax you online. One of these pages is simple-fax.de , for example . All you need to use is a free account. There are no monthly costs or an additional fixed amount, because the price depends on your fax volume. Your fax copies will be sent to your registered email address..

You can conveniently send a fax using the simple-fax.de dispatch box.

As usual, you need the recipient's fax number to send. You must also enter an email address to which your confirmations will be sent. Simply set up a new fax in which you attach the desired file or the corresponding document. If necessary, you can also write a cover letter. By clicking on "Send fax" you will be forwarded to the payment process. Here you will be charged the price. A fax to Germany costs 7 cents per page. Faxes to other parts of the world cost between 8 cents and 19 cents per page. You can pay conveniently by PayPal, credit card, Sofortüberweisung or Barzahlen.de.

You can also activate a fax number via simple-fax.de, which you can then use to receive faxes.

By the way: Of course, simple-fax.de is not the only provider of online faxes. You can also send faxes via alltofax.de . In the free version only without attachment, in the paid version as usual with a text window and various documents in the attachment. You pay between 6 and 7 cents per fax page. PDF24 also offers the service of sending a fax digitally. However, attachments are only possible there as PDF files. The fees are not calculated there per page or per fax, but via a monthly flat rate. The cheapest flat rate starts at € 5 per month..

Send fax from the FritzBox

If you have a FritzBox, you can send a fax directly via the settings of your FritzBox. The transcript of the fax will then be sent to you by email as a confirmation. To do this, log into your FritzBox by entering " fritz.box " in the browser. There click on " Telephony " and select the sub-category " Fax ".

Otherwise, simply attach files and documents using the corresponding button below the text box. If everything is set to your satisfaction, click on " Send "..
