Do you need to send a fax but don't have a fax machine? Sending a fax from your iPhone sure beats running around town looking for a place to send faxes!

How do you fax from iPhone?
In order to send a fax, download a faxing app like Fax.Plus, eFax, or iFax to your phone. Follow the prompts in the app to find your document and enter the fax number. Click on Send to send the fax to the person you're trying to reach.
Steps
