Nowadays you don’t need to be in front of a computer to send fax over the Internet.  The development of mobile technology allows us to take care of our faxing in ways that weren’t possible with traditional technology.  If you have an iPod touch, you can turn it into a virtual fax machine following the steps provided below:

How to Send Free Fax from an iPod Touch?

1.     First you have to open a free fax account.  eFax is offering a 30 day free trial for a limited time, sign up and enter the email address you want to link to the fax account.

2.    Once you have your free fax account, it is time to grab your iPod touch and download the corresponding fax app.  For this purpose, just head to the App Marketplace and search for “eFax”, the app should instantly appear for download and it is completely free.

3.    Enter your login information and settings on the eFax app. This will link your fax account to the app.

4.    If you want to receive faxes, you don’t need to take any extra step.  Every time a new fax arrives to your account you will receive a notification on the iPod.

5.    To send a fax, you have two options. You can type up the message directly on the eFax mobile app or you can use the camera feature of your iPod touch. This is a cool feature that also turns your iPod into a scanning device.

6.    From within the app, fill the required information, including the recipient’s number and press Send.  That’s it! The fax will then be converted and sent.

Note that this way of sending faxes is 100% compatible with fax machines, so you won’t find problems when sending the fax.
