Dump Your Fax Machine, Send Faxes Online
Tired of paying for a fax line and maintaining your fax machine?
There's a better way to send and receive faxes using internet
fax services.
Internet fax services enable you to receive faxes in your e-mail
and to send faxes. One of the most popular internet fax services
is eFax, which has over 9,000,000 users. But not all fax
services are created equal. Here are some things to consider:
1. Does the fax service provide a toll free or local phone
number? Are there extra charges for receiving faxes on your toll
free number?
2. How many faxes can you send and receive for your monthly fee?
3. In what format are faxes sent? Are they delivered as .pdf
files in your e-mail or do you have to view them in proprietary
software?
In order to decide which internet fax service is best for you,
consider how many faxes you send and receive each month. Some
services are best for heavy fax users, while others, like
TrustFax, offer great plans for light fax users. Many of the
online fax services offer free trials so you can try before you
buy. Most services charge month-to-month and you can typically
cancel at any time.
Although fees vary, you can expect to pay $5-$20 per month. You
are allowed a certain number of pages. If you go over your page
allotment you can expect to pay 10 cents for each additional
page received.
With the advent of e-mail and attachments, many people predicted
that the fax was doomed. But it turns out it was merely the fax
machine that was doomed. Today, business use internet fax
services to send and receive faxes almost as frequently as they
used a standard fax machine a decade ago. One often overlooked
benefit of internet faxing is that you don't have to print out
every fax you get. You can view faxes on your computer and
decide which ones you want to print or delete.
It's a good idea to review the many internet fax companies
before pulling out your credit card. With a little research you
will hopefully find the best one to meet your faxing needs.
