Free Internet Faxing - Comments Page 2

There are two services that are not completely free but interesting all the same:
one is a service called PAM Fax, an add on to Skype. It will convert your document into a PDF file and send it to destination (if all goes well).
The other one is a service offered by PC-Telephone but the document has to be changed into an *.SFF format. A way of doing this (from *.DOC > TIFF > SFF is decribed here: http://yashima-eng.blogspot.com/

The best outgoing FAX service is at http://www.box.net . Box.net is a free service for sharing files, but their best feature is the ability to send free unlimited FAXes to anywhere on Earth. You need to:
1. Open a free account
2. Click on the OpenBox tab to add a service
3. Add the eFax service (you only do this once)

To send a FAX, upload any pdf, doc, xls, tif, tiff, rtf, txt, or html file to Box.net. Then right click on the uploaded file and choose "Send with eFax".

Your article is informative but omits mention of a very reliable company I've been with for several years, maxemail.com. They offer a 30 day free trial (back in the day, mine lasted much longer than 30 days)and several different plans; I am a "lite" user, pay a small annual fee and a nickel per page (the first 100 incoming pages are free). I send and receive via Email. Their service has been excellent and I highly recommend them.

You neglect to mention that signed documents, sent via fax are valid legal documents for many types of transactions, both personal and business. You cannot use a computer or one of the services of the type you mention here to do this. To paraphrase Mark Twain, the death of the hard-core, physical fax machine have been greatly exaggerated.

Its good to have post such as this so that we can have an overview on the difference between providers. I just visited ringcentral and UFAX faxing service and both were very interesting but I find the former cheap compared to the latter.

HI..I DOWNLOADED THAT ERASER TO GET RID OF FILES I NO LONGER USE..BUT I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO USE IT..SO I WOULD LIKE SOME HELP PLEASE???THANK U

Thanks, Bob. Great information.

I would like to switch from a 3-D fax machine to one of the internet fax services. However, I am nervous about security. If I fax a signed financial document through one of the internet fax services, is that any more or less secure than sending the fax on a paper/telephone fax machine?

EDITOR'S NOTE: I'd say using an Internet fax service is more secure, since you have the option to use encryption.

Thanks for the advice.

I use GotFreeFax.com to send faxes occassionally, and I am pleased with the service. Their website is http://www.gotfreefax.com.

They have a free fax service and a premium pay-per-fax service. The free fax service, according to their website:

1. Is truly free.
2. No-ad free fax cover page.
3. 3 pages per fax minimum.
4. 2 free faxes per day maximum.

Thanks.

There is a service for receiving faxes free, www.faxbetter.com. Customers are assigned a toll-free number (888 area code) and must receive at least one fax weekly in order to keep the number active. Faxes are delivered to an e-mail inbox in .pdf format. It works well, but one has to be sure to get a fax weekly. Since it is a toll-free number, it's easy to send a fax to oneself.

let me know how i can send my fax through this

my hdd has clicking sound please how to repair if u send a video of repairing hdd

freeFax is no longer in service, I've tried to subscribe to not avail, just want you to know Bob, this is the second time I wrote to you.
Thanks

freeFAX works OK for me. Just thought you'd like to know...

just another fax resource: www.myfax.com/free

Is there a cab file I can load on my Mobile Handheld Computer (Intermec CN3)that will allow me to fax a pdf file from my handheld to a customer fax machine?

Dear Bob:
freeFax.com is no longer in service, I've tried several times to no avail.
Thanks

What about the fax capability of Xp on the "printer" list? I don't send many faxes but when I do I use that. The only "hassle"(which is nothing) is I have to disconnect the router connection from the phone line & connect the onboard system to the line whenever I wish to send one!

I'm a single mom and this really helped!
