Fax app for faxback

Hi,

I am a new NSA. I thought the request for faxbacks was antiquated and the class not updated. Why not scan & email directly to the contracting companies copy machine?
I have not had a landline for over 10 years. I just got my first assignment and it requires a faxback not a scanback. Can anyone please recommend a free secure iPhone fax app? Thank you.

Check with your hiring party and see if they’ll take a scanback - almost nobody takes faxes any more; not to mention how long and cumbersome it would be to fax multiple pages with your phone…insecure too.

Invest in a good scanner and, if they insist on faxbacks only - tell them they’ll need to pay for the cost of faxing offsite.

Thank you LindaH. Done. Waiting for them to get back to me. I have a scanning legal-sized scanning printer and a pdf app. I really thought the fax requirement was a non-update to the book. :slight_smile:

What I am learning is not every service is as technically capable as they claim to be. Just getting my first assignment to be accepted was a learning curve experience of portal from portal.

Usually when they mean faxback is really “scanbak”. Still check with the signing service or TC, I’m pretty sure they’ll tell you scan and email.
Fax are almost obsolete :unamused:
