The expanded network of area codes now provides further eFax number options for Hiroshima, Kobe, Kyoto, Nagoya, Sapporo, Yokohama and nine other cities throughout Japan, offering residents the ability to use eFax to send and receive faxes via email.  Using eFax brand Internet faxing greatly reduces the reliance on dedicated fax machines and gives both desktop and laptop computer owners the ability to send and receive faxes from any location that has Wi-Fi or Internet access.

"The global business world is witnessing a shift towards an increasingly mobile workforce, and organizations are seeking effective and cost-efficient ways to provide technologies and services that support this trend," said Hemi Zucker, CEO for j2 Global Communications, Inc.  "Although Japan is the world's second largest market for personal computers and the number one market in facsimile machines per capita, it has been under-serviced as it relates to online fax.  eFax is a logical fit and invaluable service for individuals and companies of all sizes, from sole proprietors with a single fax number to large multinational corporations companies with thousands of fax numbers."

In addition to the dedicated Japanese language website (www.efax.co.jp), Japanese-speaking telesales and technical support personnel are now available to help customers sign up for, and use, the eFax service.
