Almost 215 million Kilowatt hours of energy could be saved by exercising email faxing on similar percentage which sufficient to provide power to New York Subway system for more than two months.700 million gallons of water could be preserved which is sufficient enough to provide the city of Philadelphia for about two days and we can get rid of six million pounds of air pollution which is almost as much as the air pollution produced by 500 cars yearly.

These are not the only advantages paperless faxing has over traditional faxing. Apart from faxing the pieces of paper old fax machines do, they can also fax files from different computer programs, like MS Word and MS Powerpoint and other everyday programs.

Now a days, with advancing technology, fax-to-email services are now available on your smartphone through which you can send and receive faxes.

Email faxing is also secure. This is an advantage since your account is protected by a password and you can use your email account to send and receive faxes. Anti-virus systems deliver added security to the fax-to-email serves which are otherwise secure.
