Genius Fax is a paid service for sending and receiving faxes from Android, iOS, or the web. It provides a virtual fax number, inbound faxing, and international faxing. The Android app accepts PDF or image files from a device or cloud services, including Dropbox and Google Drive, with documents up to 50 MB. Notifications indicate when a fax is delivered or received, and Genius Scan image processing is used for crisp, sharp documents. Sent-fax history is available across devices through a Genius Fax account, while the Receiving plan includes unlimited storage for received faxes. Sending uses pay-as-you-go pricing with the same cost for all countries. Receiving costs 3.49 USD per month, billed monthly. Other listed purchases include page credits and US/Canada fax numbers for periods from one month to one year. Faxes travel to Genius Fax servers over a secure connection, but traditional phone-line transmission may not be encrypted.
Who it is for
It suits people and organizations that need faxing from phones or computers instead of a fax store. Mobile users can send files from device or cloud storage.
