Dump Your Fax Machine, Send Faxes Online
Author: Todd Snyder

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.
