Fax stands for facsimile or sometime telecopying or telefax. As you already know it’s mainly used to send and receive scanned printed documents that can contain both text and image. Both side fax machines are connected to output device such as printer.

There are a couple of free fax apps available in the play store which claim to send and receive fax and the only thing needed by them is active Internet connection. That’s it, you’re done. No need to spend a single penny on those King Kong size fax machines. One can send photos, screen shots and pdf files too to any traditional fax machine. You just need fax number then just attach files and hit the send button.
