TNZ Internet Fax is a cloud-hosted fax service that receives faxes and delivers them electronically by email or to a web or API server. Users can send documents through Email-to-Fax, and email notifications report sending status. The service provides virtual numbers, inbound and international faxing, and either dedicated numbers or ported numbers from New Zealand or Australia. It does not require a fax machine, fax line, or physical location. TNZ describes proprietary encryption with SSL, TLS, and HTTPS, plus optional PGP encryption and a No Archive setting. Faxes remain in the online dashboard archive for three months unless archiving is disabled, and TNZ maintains a customer-driven blacklist for fax spam reports. Plans are paid and charge monthly number fees, porting setup, and per-page sending and receiving. Contract-free options are available, while the advertised free trial excludes fax services.
Who it is for
TNZ Internet Fax suits organizations that need virtual, inbound, outbound, or international faxing without physical fax equipment. TNZ specifically mentions security-conscious banks, legal, government, and healthcare organizations.
