Internet Faxing

PPLandry:
eFax works great and it is free (if you're interested in receiving faxes only -- typical case) when you don't exceed your quota. If you do exceed, simply close and re-open a new one. I've used it for 5 years works great. No Spam, no junk fax

Darwin:
I need the ability to send faxes, unfortunately... I wouldn't mind payer per use but object to monthly account fees. Of course, given how infrequently I actually need to send faxes, it's not really a tall order for me to pay someone else to send them for me...

dalchina:
For sending faxes:

The first is web based, international: http://www.burnham-on-sea.co.uk/fax.html
(just came across it, not tried it)

And here you can find links to other free services

including
TPC.INT Remote Printing
The TPC.INT "Remote Printing Experiment" is the grandfather of Internet faxing services. You can send faxes via e-mail or a Web form. The web site hasn't been updated in ages and reliability is very spotty, but it does work sometimes. You can send mail to many parts of the world but not everywhere. Check the coverage list first:
     http://www.tpc.int/fax_cover_auto.html
     [email protected]

which allows you to set up your fax as an email.

I've used this for a long time, almost always to my (non email/non PC) parents in the UK, but it does go through phases when it just doesn't work for me.

 

Darwin:
Dalchina - thank you! Unfortunately, I often need to fax to South Korea, which I don't see on the list. Still, it's nice to know that such services are available so this gives me hope that there is something out there for me! I can also use this for the UK and Europe, so that'll help me right away  :Thmbsup:

I've been using CallWave (http://www.callwave.com/landing/virtualFax_L1.aspx) for their virtual fax number for several years, and they just unrolled a send fax service also.  It is a little expensive, but still far far less than you would pay for a phone line.   I pay $10 month for more faxes than I use and the service is reliable and easy to use.

Before I used CallWave for outgoing faxes, I used them for incoming (with a private fax number) and used FaxZero to send faxes.  The FaxZero service offers free faxing with an ad on the first page and a limit of maybe 3-4 pages total.  You can pay $2 to send a fax with them and not have the ad and have more pages.  The service worked great and the ads were only a minor inconvenience I could avoid when I wanted to.  Although pay for one fax a month and I can pay for the upgrade to CallWave to get outgoing fax also.

Hope this helps.
