Fax service recommendation

Faxes are really arcane, but every once in a while, when dealing with arcane companies, like airlines, it seems you have to send or receive the odd fax.

The receiving part is not a problem. Getting a free fax number to receive faxes on is pretty easy. It’s the sending.

I used to have an efax account, but for maybe 5 faxes a year, the $13/month subscription fee is pretty steep, so I’m looking for something else.

I’ve found FaxAway, which say they only charge $1/month, which is more reasonable.

What service do you use, if any? Can you recommend any? I guess I could use my Mac’s built-in modem and my land line to send faxes, but it’s been a while since I last plugged in a modem!

It seems like those of us who rarely send faxes, who don’t want to bother with a physical fax machine, and who finds i degrading to go to 7/11 to fax, is an underserved, if financially completely uninteresting, market :)

Your Mac can fax just like printing - what else do you need? (I have my signature scanned in to make it look like a real human-sent fax).

Hi Jason "100% free" might be stretching it a little, but "there's a free plan" is 100% true ;) Apart from that, the service looks great, and I'd rather use a service with a free plan than one that's 100% free -- I tend to shy away from services with an unclear or unsustainable business model. Congratulations and good luck with your product!
