TelOne’s fax to email service, zimfax.com goes live

Some months ago we spoke of a fax to email service that TelOne the State-owned telecoms operator was working on in partnership with NGN Telecoms.

The service went live recently and TelOne is offering it for free. Users can access it on www.zimfax.com, and on this page they can create their own fax – email account.

From the looks of things, TelOne, which has turned into an internet company first, and in the process worked on more than a fair share of new products this year, is using this value added service to engage with the quotient of its clientele that still uses fax services regularly while maintaining a service that might not necessarily have as much appeal these days as other broadband-related services.

These faithful-to-old-tech users are corporate and Government related clients who offer strong contributions to revenue. An add-on service, though free, would likely be included as a tool for convenience, particularly in specific industries where fax bears some relevance.

It’s another bonus to slap on in a market where enterprise clients are being wooed by all things from Fibre services and voice products that manage costs, to backup solutions that TelOne doesn’t have a foot in as well.

    This service is long overdue. Can the service do email to fax?

    Billiard, my thinking exactly – for most the “email to fax” would actually be more interesting in a time when many do not have a landline any more
