What fax service or what do you use for incoming and outgoing fax's? I would like to get rid of my old fashioned fax machine that takes up lots of space on my desk.

Thanks

I have a Brother Intelli Fax 2820; it is small and does a good job for me for years now.

eFax. Quick, simple, reliable, cheap.

MYFax.com Used for many years, no problems, incoming & outgoing has never cost more than 10.00 a month. You can even use in on several computers, so everyone in your office can send and receive. They also give you a 800 toll free number.

eFax

eFax. I pay so I can pick my own number. But, I love it. Can check it from anywhere. I pay annually to get a discount. Free is available, also. Faxes land in my email; however, I can check them on line where ever I have an internet connection. Plus, faxes are stored there, also, so I have back-up.

That said, I still have a large HP L7780 all-in-one. It's my copier, black or color. Sometimes it's just easier to put a piece of paper in and fax instead of scanning to eFax. And, it has the flat top, so I can open a book to copy, fax, or scan. It has slots for memory cards. Anything I could want to do. It's on it's own plain vanilla AT&T phone line. Then, if my cable is out (office phone, house phone, internet, & TV), I still have a wired line to call out on. I figure as long as I'm keeping that one wire, I may as well keep my fax hooked up to it. But, the fax number I give out is my eFax so I can view and store in a client's file and not print unless necessary.

I use Efax also. Only use for incoming faxes. Still have an old hp fax machine I use to send faxes if needed.

E-Fax

E-Fax will completely stop working if you receive too many faxes. My Fax allows unlimited faxes and costs a lot less. Also it comes in as a PDF and does not require a special download to open the fax.

Once my scanner quit working and I started using the fax to scan. Then after a while I was up to the maximum number of faxes and they wanted additional money to let me have a higher number.

Do any of these services employ spam-filtering? We get a ton of stuff that is junk over the fax machine.

[PIGLEE]

MYFAX.COM does, if you get something that is spam, there is a link, you click on it to report it as spam, and after I do that, NO more spam. I reported several at the beginning. Now I get none.

[Burke]

The ones I get never seem to come from the same place (or number) twice. But it sure eats up the toner after a while.

[Lion]

toner

Yeah, so with eFax you don't have to print out any junk that might make it through. Saves toner and paper.

[Burke]

Soooo, could you set up a separate email account just to receive faxes?

[Lion]

Yes

Sure, you choose where to direct your faxes. And, the sender doesn't see where they go, just your fax number. So you can call it BurkesFaxes@gmail.com or anything else you want to keep yourself organized.

You can also read them on line at the eFax message center. I use their message center to store faxes I want backed up. I set up folders and sort the faxes and delete those I don't need in the future. It's just an extra back up that's off-site.

Separate e-mail

My Fax allows you to have two different e-mails at no extra charge. If you want more than two, I believe you can get them for a fee.
The same fax will go to both e mails.
So far, I haven't received any spam with My Fax. When I received faxes on my fax machine, I used to get them frequently and waste paper printing them. With My Fax or E Fax you get it as a pdf so you can delete it without printing it if it is spam.
