What are virtual faxes?
Virtual faxing is a cloud-based fax delivery service that lets you receive faxes without the need for a fax machine.
Customers can fax documents directly to your Grasshopper business number, and you can view them online or in your email, as an attachment.
Virtual fax is the perfect solution for professionals who get just a few faxes and don’t want to deal with the hassle or expense of an actual fax machine. Grasshopper virtual fax is for inbound faxing only.
