Send a Free Fax
"I don't have a fax machine, but I've heard that there are places on the Web that will let me send a free fax. I visited one site but they wanted my credit card to open a free trial account. Is there a truly FREE internet fax service?"

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 wish I was as fortunate as most of your other readers. I tried FaxZero.com. The best I could get out of them was an "Oops! There was a Problem." message.

www.GotFreeFax.com works great for me. No signup, no login, has rich text editor. Plus, it does not place any Ads on fax cover page, which make it more suitable for sending stuff like resumes. It only supports outgoing fax to US and Canada though and has a limitation of 2 content pages per free fax.

I have several java scrips that control the browser status line. The scripts work on several IP Apache servers but will not work on one specific Apache server. The IP has no answer. Might you have an idea what the problem might be?
Thanks for your help.

Just used FaxZero...got a confirmation within minutes! No complaints from me (it's free for Pete's sake!). Not crazy about an ad being on the cover page but I didn't even realize there were free services out there that didn't stick an ad on them. Gonna check those out next time.

I used http://www.burnham-on-sea.co.uk/fax.html which worked really well - I just googled 'free fax' think it was 3rd in the list or something.
