Fax, Voicemail, or Print on the Go


If you need to send or receive a fax while on the go, but don't have access to a phone line (perhaps you're sitting in a bookstore, using their Wi-Fi connection), you can use an online fax service such as eFax to send or receive faxes from anywhere you can access email. After you download the eFax software, faxes are sent and received as email attachments.

eFax offers several different plans: eFaxFree is free, but has limitations that may not be acceptable, such as having a non-local fax number assigned to you and not being able to send faxes (just receive). eFaxPlus has a reasonable monthly fee and limited storage for saved faxes. It includes the ability to send faxes and the use of local or toll-free fax numbers. eFaxPro costs a little more and adds the ability to receive voicemails as email attachments and one-year storage of faxes and voicemail. For detailed information, visit eFax.com.

eVoice is an online voicemail service. When someone calls your assigned number and leaves a voicemail, it's delivered to your email inbox as a sound file attachment. Sign up for a free account that has limited features or a paid account that includes more features at eVoice.com.

If you'd like the same capability as eVoice, but you'd like to use your existing phone number, check out Ovolab Phlink (www.ovolab.com/phlink). Phlink is a package of both software and hardware a telephone adapter that connects your computer's USB port to an analog phone line. You can set up Phlink to answer your calls at home or office, encode them into small audio files, then send the encoded voice messages to your email account.

Business travelers often need to prepare and print documents while on the go, such as presentation materials that are needed the next morning. FedEx Kinko's has an online printing service (FedEx Kinko's Online Document Ordering Service) that lets you upload the documents you need to print. The finished print job can be picked up or delivered to your meeting. Go to FedEx.com/us and click the "Office/Print Services" tab.
