Favorite online Fax service?

Reasonable as that is, and I'd like it, (I have no landline either -- if I did, I'd use the 16 year old Brother that sits here, waiting for a sledge hammer) - I might send 5 pages in a year, if that, which would make them $3 per page. Even with gas, it's cheaper to drive to Office Depot!

sorry, i wasn't precise. MaxEmail is $14.95 a year and 10 cents a page for sending only. you receive faxes as a pdf attachment to email and there's no additional charge for getting a fax. i receive far more than i send so it works out for me. the advantages being:

desk space for fax machine cleared up
a confirmation of sending and receipt for every fax
i can pick up faxes from anywhere i have email access. i travel a lot so that is very important.

i used jfax and efax free for a number of years. if you receive less than 5 faxes a month and don't need to send, those work fine. once you receive more than 5 faxes in a month you have to upgrade or leave. i did that one month and had to go. that's when i switched to Maxemail.

has been perfect for me as a completely free way to send the occasional free fax.

I've used them a bunch of times (wife works for the government and various entities she does business with only accept faxes).

They let you send up to (2) three page faxes a day, and you can type in cover sheet content before you send it. The fax itself can be a word doc (.doc) or acrobat (.pdf) file that you attach, using the web page interface.

If it's a longer fax they'll let you send one up to 15 pages for $2, that you pay through paypal.

One think I like about it is that they send you a "confirmation" email that it was successfully sent, which I THINK is the equivalent of the little "OK" message that a real fax machine like my old brother machine would spit out at the end, if the whole handshake occured and every page went through

Faxzero seems to place an ad on the cover page of a free fax. it doesn't seem like the user has any control over what that ad will be for. it's probably all fine but i wouldn't want to risk it.

I just came across this while using the company's other service, yousendit.com -- looks interesting: http://www.myfax.com/
