What is eFax Message Center?

eFax® Message Center gives you centralized access to your eFax account online anytime. The Message Center is an inbox in your eFax MyPortal, where you can view and send faxes with your electronic signature, and resend your stored faxes. You can also manage your contact lists and add “tags” to your faxes, which are keywords that you can associate with a fax to make it easier to search for later.

How does eFax Message Center Work?

Think of the Message Center as your eFax inbox, the page in your MyPortal interface where you can search for, view and forward your stored faxes.You can access the Message Center anytime, anywhere you have an Internet connection. Note: With your eFax Plus or eFax Pro account, you can also use Message Center to add your electronic signature to a fax before sending or forwarding.

You can also export contacts from your eFax account to a standard CSV file, to use elsewhere.

Within your Message Center Contacts tab, you can store the names and fax numbers of people you fax frequently, then simply select a specific contact you want to fax, and eFax will auto-fill that person’s contact information for you.
