Optus has long provided analog fax solutions to Australian businesses. In recent years, they’ve introduced digital services such as fax to email, allowing users to receive faxes as email attachments through the Optus Fax2Mail service.
Notifyre provides a modern, cloud-based, online fax alternative to Optus’ fax to email setup, allowing businesses to receive and manage faxes securely, without the need for complex configuration.
Optus' Fax2Mail service involves assigning fax numbers at the user level, configuring each one via the Loop admin portal, and receiving faxes in TIFF or PDF format. However, this setup typically requires the creation of a dedicated email address for each fax number. This can be restrictive and time-consuming, especially as your team grows and needs more flexibility.
In contrast, Notifyre offers a simplified and more flexible approach. With Notifyre, you can receive faxes on any existing email address, whether personal or business without the need for a dedicated fax email address. Notifyre also offers advanced fax to email features such as multiple email recipients, PDF attachments, and secure storage, making it easier for businesses to manage fax communications in a digital environment.
