How Do I Send Faxes Online with eFax?

Sending a digital fax through eFax is easy. Simply open a new message, type in a subject and body (which serves as your cover page), then attach up to 10 files and hit Send.

After you’ve sent a fax through eFax, you’ll receive an email notification if it was successfully sent or if there were any issues with transmitting the fax.

Send a Fax From My Account Using the Websend Form

  1. Log in to eFax MyAccount.

  2. Click Send Faxes.

  3. In the Websend popup, type your recipient’s Name and Company.

    If you’ve added Contacts to your Message Center Address Book, a list of matching Contacts appears as you type. Select a Contact, and eFax auto-completes the recipient information.

  4. To access your Message Center Contacts directly, hover over Choose From Contacts until the list appears. Select a Contact, and eFax auto-completes the recipient information.

    When sending to international numbers using eFax, you do not need to include the “0” before the number.
    For example, if you want to send a fax to the UK number +44 (0)20 7555 1234, you would select UK (44) from the Select Fax-To Country list, and then type 442075551234 in the Fax Number field.
