I've been using one for years, but I think they're expensive, have non-existent customer service and are hard to use. Other than that, they're great!

Anybody have one they are happy with..Ring Central? efax? Anything out there that does a good job at a good price?

i used e-fax for several years but dropped it a couple of years ago as not worth the investment. i had a (very) little bit of pushback from one client - but she eventually agreed that email was a better solution.

I haven't faxed in at least a decade now. I just scan it and Hobo Laughing

F it. It's free. All my correspondents do the same.

I've even done some fill-in-the-blank Hobo Laughing

F forms where you "type" in your signature. A little odd, but for only slightly critical documents I don't see the problem.

Thanks guys..Yes, this service works by me scanning and creating and uploading PDFs, and receives faxes as Hobo Laughing

F's..and I guess about the only time I've used it has been with non-work related stuff.

I think I still have an active ExtremeFax account, from Ring Central. Used it a handful of times, no-where near enough to pay for itself.

My fax line's now disconnected and our Brother Fax multi-a Hobo Tounge

machine is basically collecting dust, except for the occasional copy to be made.
Like Bruce, I now scan and email pdfs.

I did have to send somebody a fax recently but since I still have a land line, I just plugged my laptop into a phone jack and faxed from Windows.

The only people or businesses I know of that still use FAX are Doctors. Other than that....I don't even know where my Fax machine is these days. Probably hidden underneath some old reel-to-reels.

From a Linkedin meme..

"Can you sign this and fax it back to me?"

"No, not from where I live"

"Where do you live that you can't fax?"

"2015"

HelloSign (just google it) lets lets you legally sign and modify docs (even Hobo Laughing

F) for free. Haven't had any complaints yet.

I still subscribe to Send2Fax but I think that's about to go away. Last year, I think I sent two faxes and received one. All for only 12 bucks a month. Eck.

I use FaxFresh, which is a couple bucks to send a fax. Can't receive, though. Works great.
