 DESCRIPTION 

Norfa.com offers Virtual Fax functionality that allows subscribers to receive faxes without owning a fax machine and/or using a dedicated fax line. Virtual Fax is commonly used to allow automated fax processing and global distribution as well as international fax forwarding to avoid high international call costs. The system accepts any fax format, stores it locally, and if configured, sends it via email to the subscriber's email address. The Virtual Fax management is similar to that of Voicemail. In fact, both system share common folder structure and both Voicemail and Fax files are downloadable and visible via the Voicemail/Fax functionality. Similar to Voicemail, Virtual Fax supports Email and SMS notification.
