Sending and Receiving Faxes by PC

The ability to use a computer connected to Internet as a fax machine saves time and money in several ways...

* No need for a fax machine. * No long distance charges. * No busy signals to listen to since there is no dialing at all.

Several companies now offer online faxing services. The most popular of them are 101Fax, MyFax and CallWave.

The concept is simple: you get a fax number that's tied to your email. When someone faxes to it, the fax is converted to a file and emailed to you as an attachment. You can also send faxes directly from your email address to any fax number in the world.

101Fax pioneers and specializes in a Pay-Per-Use online faxing service, which means no monthly fees ($0/month). You only pay everytime you send a fax. Their monthly plans start at $4.50/month. Features include unlimited inbound faxing, fax number (local and toll free available) fax broadcasting, international faxing, and more.

MyFax is an inexpensive North America and UK oriented service. The service costs $10/month or $110/year and includes sending 100 pages and receiving 200 pages monthly. Additional pages (if you receive more than 200 or send more than 100 per month) cost $0.10 each.

CallWave Fax is a more affordable service for those who only need to receive faxes. You get a personal fax number. Faxes sent to it are converted to Adobe PDF files and delivered to you as email attachments. There's no limit to the number of faxes you can receive per month. You can try it free for 30 days, then $7.95 per month.
