The fax isn’t dead, it’s changing.
Communicating by fax is still necessary to many people and businesses in most of the world but it is also changing, switching to fax via mobile. There is expected to be a surge in mobile faxing use, as more people are working from home.
Smartphones have become such a part of people’s everyday lives (nowadays used more often than PCs to surf on the web) and mobile apps have become so practical that the Alohi developed their FAX.PLUS solution on Android and iOS software right from the start.
FAX.PLUS, a cloud based faxing service for individuals, professionals and companies, discovered that most of its users send / receive faxes directly on their mobile telephone rather than using the website platform.

The document scanner – made possible with the use of the smartphone camera – and the ability to sign faxes from the app are among the most used features, which makes them “key” to success, particularly in the United States where most of the FAX.PLUS users are located.
71 % of the faxes sent by Americans were actually sent through a mobile device.
