Socket, a Missouri-based telephone and Internet provider, is proud to introduce its new fax to email service.
 
Customers can convert an existing fax line or set up a new local fax number in one of more than 400 Missouri cities. Inbound fax messages are routed to an email address designated by the customer. Outbound fax messages are sent using an online interface.
 
“After hearing from customers that they couldn’t get a local phone number from the large online email faxing companies, we saw an opportunity,” said Carson Coffman, president and chief operating officer at Socket.
 
The service gives companies the flexibility to send and receive faxes from anywhere—even a mobile device. Privacy is also improved, since fax messages do not sit waiting on a fax machine for anyone in the office to read. 
 
“By sending and receiving faxes electronically, businesses can eliminate expensive hardware and save on paper, ink and maintenance costs,” Coffman said. “This really is the future of faxing.”
