VANITY: What is the best free electronic fax service
08/02/15 | self

Posted on 08/02/2015 6:09:51 PM PDT by Eccl 10:2

Just slashed cable service and disconnected the landline phone. As a result, I need to get a free fax service. Suggestions? Thank you!

I’ve used eFax for 10 years but it’s not free

You want to live free at the expense of others? Is that what you are saying?

I use Metrofax for $7.95 per month which includes a phone number with my local area code.

I only fax two or three things a day so I am not sure what the limit is for that price.

I don’t know how it compares to other services but I like it.

I haven’t used them in years, but I had an e-fax account that worked fine. They kept trying to upsell me to the paid version, but I ignored that and used the free west coast number they issued me, and had no problems. (Transferred the costs for local faxes from me to the sender).

It used to be an upcharge for a local or toll free number, and there may have been volume limits; if so, I never hit them.

Just checked - only incoming is free; outgoing comes with the paid service: http://www.efax.com/efax-free/signup

I’ll have to say that faxes in business are now rare. Scanning and sending as email attachments is much more common these days. I average less than one fax a year; ten scanned documents wouldn’t be a heavy day. Do you really need a fax?

Not to stick my nose in where it doesn’t belong, but I’m curious why someone would need to send or receive faxes. Haven’t fax machines gone the way of the rotary phone?

Some records can only be sent as faxes and not e-mailed. Medical records are almost never e-mailed and are sent as a fax only.

Ringcentral far better than efax and cheaper.

We receive at least 20 pages every day from our clients, sometimes more. Used to use efax but because of problems, poor service and increasing rates with efax switched to Ring Central. Have an 800 number and faxes come direct to our email. If we find we need one that we have already deleted, we can go to Ring Central and just download it again. Also send about 20-30 per week.

In our line of business faxes are obviously not rare.

Buy a cheap scanner, make pdf docs, and email them. WAY better than faxing. I probably sent my last fax 10 years ago.

Either method scans your doc into a bunch of bits and sends those. So there is no difference between faxed doc and emailed pdf doc.
