Every once in a while a product comes along that
changes the way we live our lives. Examples of some of these breakthrough technologies are
the fax machine, personal computer, and the Internet. Gabriel Wireless has developed
technology to reliably send faxes to your e-mail address at a very affordable price. By
using the Internet to receive faxes, you eliminate the need for a slow and pricey fax
machine or even additional telephone lines. No, this is not science fiction, merely a more
efficient way to use the resources currently available to you. By using the Internet's
high-speed network already in place around the globe you can be in any country and check
your faxes at only the cost of an Internet connection.
You get a private, 24-hour fax number that can receive multiple calls at the same time.
When you receive a fax on this number, it is converted into an e-mail message and
delivered to your e-mail address with the images intact. As an added bonus, the fax is
also stored in your on-line Message Center for future retrieval (from any computer on the
Internet). The fax can be printed from either your email message or from the on-line
Message Center. No special software is required on your computer.

FaxMail has an advantage in both costs and benefits beyond the traditional fax machine.
Perhaps the most obvious benefit is that you no longer need to pay for a dedicated fax
line from your local phone company. This saves at least $25 per month for a residential
line and considerably more for a business line. Electricity, drum, toner replacement and
paper costs are not necessary and you now have one less machine to maintain.
The cost benefits of FaxMail are only outweighed by its genuine practical benefits. As
many as 100 faxes can be received simultaneously eliminating busy signals. Faxes can be
retrieved from anywhere in the world from any computer connected to the Internet. Backup
copies of the faxes can even be stored in Gabriel Wireless' Message Center system for up
to 30 days for later reference and retrieval. These are considerable benefits for the
traveler. For business, departments and employees can now have their own individual secure
fax numbers. Using FaxMail, employees don't waste time waiting by the fax machine while
other faxes are being transmitted. They know instantly when they have received a new
fax (via their chosen wireless device).
FaxMail has the optional capability of notifying you when a fax has arrived. This
service is available for both numeric and word messaging pagers for a minimal cost.
The international applications for FaxMail are also very useful. For example, if
someone from Hong Kong needs to send a fax to the Philippines, the call will cost $ 4.15
per minute. However, if the same fax is sent to a U.S. phone number the call costs only $
2.15 per minute - almost half the price. The fax received at the U.S. number is then
e-mailed to the recipient's foreign e-mail address incurring no additional charges.
