Thread: e-Fax services?

I have used the free version of eFax. It works pretty well, but requires a viewer to see the faxes and they have no Linux client. My fax # is in Montana and I live in GA, but it's free. Also you can not send faxes from it and you get SPAM faxes from efax advertisers as part of the deal.

We used to use eFax, it's pretty handy service if you ask me. We had an 800 number, sends faxes right to your e-mail box. The client is not a big deal, reminds me of Adobe's PDF viewer. You can get local numbers at low cost as well. IMO it beats the hell out of receiving faxes over a fax machine, you automatically have a copy in electronic format right off the bat.

I've used eFax before and found it really easy to use. Just wondering if anyone else has any other experiences.

Using a paper fax machine simply isn't an option any more IMO. I'm tired of killing trees needlessly...lol

I gave up having a second line for faxes a few years ago, & use efax since..

it's great that you can recive a fax ANYWHERE..... & it's always ready to recieve.... I can get a fax while doing 80 on the turnpike

the adds kinda suck, but not so much that it is a problem... reminds me of aol in that respect

all in all, I'd highly recommend it.... as far as spam faxes... I'm just in the habit of not even looking at one page faxes anymore... just about all of my business faxes are more than one page & just about all spam faxes are just one page....

I use rapidfax.com. Pretty good, haven't had any problems.

Just don't use smartfax.com. It is horrible, doesn't tell you if the fax has been sent or not, does not reformat to fit pages but only sends one page so people will get the left upper corner of your page, doesn't tell you if you are not using the right format and just does not send your fax, and even if I did everything after the manual I was not able to send one single fax.

good info!

forgot to mention... I've recieved hundreds of faxes through efax, but have never sent any from it... for what that's worth...

Oh yeah forgot to mention, got sooo many spam faxes through smartfax.com. Even before I had ever sent a fax (well I never ever sent one). So they must give away your fax number right after you sign up. STAY AWAY FROM THEM!
