Fax service

Anyone know of a cheap online fax service?
NO subscription fees would be nice

I saw a thread about this a few weeks ago but had trouble finding it.

I use eFax. Monthly fee is decent and cheaper than the cost of toner and paper for my fax machine, wish it was free.

Thanks for your help, but I remember I saw someone here post another service. One that didn't have a monthly fee.
The problem is I only need to send a few

You could also look into http://www.faxaway.com/ which charges per minute to send faxes. 11 cpm weekdays, 10 cpm weekends. There is a $1 monthly maintenance fee and a minimum $10 deposit to open an account.

I couldn't find the thread you were referencing either. Of course, I just got here yesterday.

Good luck in your search.

Chris B.

Here's a clever trick:

(1) sign up for the free eFax account (don't worry about the non-local area code they give you)

(2) Get a toll free number through AT&T, MCI, or wherever and have them point the toll-free number to your eFax number.

This way you only pay per minute of inbound faxes. There is a 20-30 fax/month limit on the free account at eFax, but hey, if you go over the limit, just register another free number and re-point your toll-free number...

ahh... dont you just love streamlining operations??

Alternatively, you can just use Fax Console which comes with Windows XP. This however becomes a problem if you need a dedicated fax line because you can't receive faxes 24/7 (i.e. you need to 'accept' the fax before receiving).

Funny this came up today!

I've been using the free eFax deal for several years. Suddenly, this very day, I get an email from them saying they have shut it down. I can still buy their $ 12.95 a month service, but the freebie is gone.

However, it might be I used up my alloted time. You may still be able to get a free one. I know I'd been with them at least 2 years, probably 3.

I've got a second phone line in my house, and have always had a fax machine for sending, but liked the incoming on the net, since it saved paper.

J2.com is another company that you may want to look into. It is very similiar to eFax except I believe they still do have a free option.

We have been using J2 for years now and have several e-fax numbers with them and it has worked out great.

You may like to try a free web to fax service. There is a catch in not area is available but there is a tool to look up what numbers are covered and what are not.

The UK has complete coverage and I use the service a lot for there.

Check your computer first, often you have something to use on your computer
http://www.k7.net/about.htm I'm using this one for the 5 faxes I get yearly. It is free, however, you receive a Seattle area code (206).
