eFax

I have an electronic fax account. It costs $10 a month and I hardly ever use it. I've used it a handful of times and it is pretty easy.....similar to sending an email. It's cheap, but I use it so infrequently it might not be worth keeping. Most things can be done via email nowadays.

I still get around 5-6 a month, kind of a pain...
Mostly attorneys for boundary work.

$10/month is cheaper than my set up now with multiply lines.

Thanks

I dumped my fax machine and dedicated fax line years ago. I have a fax modem that makes sending a fax easy, though I can't remember the last time I needed to do that. If I need to receive one, I have to manually set the number of rings before pickup in order to get the fax before voice mail grabs the call. But it's been years since I needed to do that, either.

I used to love eFax. But they raised the rates too much for me so I dropped my eFax number altogether last year.

Fax was always such awful quality. I don't understand why anyone would still want to use Fax when legal-size flatbed scanners are cheap, there are good free pdf generator programs out there, and email or Dropbox works well.

I use Rapidfax. I started with them when I opened my business in 2007. I am closing down my business now, but will keep the fax line because my wife uses it for doctor/insurance stuff.

It is $9.99 a month. Pretty reasonable, local number, and goes straight to my inbox. I have been very pleased with them. I have been able to email straight from my email, and they have a web interface, and I was able to "fax" from my hotel room several years ago while working out of town.

All we use is efax. At least for incoming faxes.

We use our fax machine on our regular phone line to send faxes.

But the efax is great for incoming. Goes straight to your email. So you can just delete unwanted faxes. No more paper, ink cartridges etc.

WinFax was a good program and it would invert b/w to fix all those TxDot negative maps.

Y2K destroyed that and all the other simple programs that were so useful and not full of bloatware.

There are claims that WinFax can be fixed to work on modern versions of windows.

If my Brother all in one ever fails I may have to give it a try.

have not bought fax paper for my machine for several years now. fax machine in the office is now no longer plugged in.
