How it works

Receiving

1. your fax number is associated with your email address (e.g. name.surname@example.com)
2. incoming faxes to your number are redirected to the Fax service
3. our servers receive faxes addressed to you and immediately forward them to your email inbox, attaching the documents received in PDF format

…and sending

1. send an email to an address consisting of the recipient’s fax number and the domain @fax.vianova.it (e.g. 05844244201@fax.vianova.it)
2. attach a document in PDF format or write the message directly in the body of the email
3. our servers convert the message into a fax and send it to the number indicated; you will receive an email with the transmission report for each fax sent
