Send a Free Fax
Free Fax Service
Yes, there are a few places online that allow you to send a free fax, no strings attached. You don't need a fax machine, you don't need fax software, you don't have to give anyone your credit card number. My favorite is FaxZero, which lets you send a fax to any fax machine in the United States (including Puerto Rico) or Canada for free. All you need is a computer on the Internet and a valid e-mail address. Faxzero is web-based, so you can access it with a PC, Mac or Linux based computer.
Here's how it works... First visit FaxZero.com and fill out the free fax form. Enter your e-mail address and carefully type the Confirmation Code. (This prevents malicious users and automated bots from abusing the system.) Then type the text of your fax (for a quick text-based fax) or attach a file. You can send plain text, PDF, Microsoft Word (DOC), or an Excel spreadsheet (XLS) file. Ready to send? Whack the Send Free Fax Now button!
A confirmation message will then be sent to your e-mail address. Your fax won't be transmitted until you click the link in that message. You'll receive an e-mail confirming that the fax was either delivered, or that it failed for some reason.
Free Internet Faxing... Really?
Yes, it's really free. The service is supported by advertising on the cover page of the free faxes you send. That seems like a small "price" to pay for sending a free fax. You don't have to buy a fax machine, fax software, fax supplies, get a fax line, or pay long distance phone charges. And typically the cover page is mostly blank anyway. Why not fill it up with something useful?
And you needn't be concerned about getting spammed or scammed if you use FaxZero. Here's the FaxZero privacy policy:
Can I Send Unlimited Free Faxes?
No, the free service provided by FaxZero is limited to 2 faxes per day, and there's a maximum of three pages per fax. If you need to send more than that, you can use the FaxZero Premium service. Sending a premium fax costs $1.99, and there's no ad or FaxZero logo on the cover page, so you may like that for business communications. The number of pages increases from 3 to 10, and there's no 2-fax-per-day limitation.
There are other ways to send free faxes using the Internet. Check out my article Free Internet Faxing for some other free fax services, or read Kevin Savetz's FAQ How can I send a fax from the Internet? for more options.

I have not used it yet, but Box.net looks promising. It offers a limited free account: This allows you to store 1GB of files online free, but it also allows use of efax to send faxes for free, from pdf/doc files etc. Up to 100pages/month.

I don't know if the free account has lower limit on number of free fax pages/month?
I already use efax to recieve free faxes from an assigned non-local number. This works well for a small number of faxes/month, but you have to put up with a very occasional email advert from efax.

Most of this called free fax services are not free is all a big fat you know. I spent 2 hours trying to send a free fax and I couldn't they send you here and there and at the end you never get it send.
EDITOR'S NOTE: That certainly has not been my experience. Did you try FaxZero?
