I'm thinking of having one of these set up too.. Any new experiences with the free fax services?
I checked Freefax (mentioned for sending also) but the sending service seems to add ads to your faxes? Not sure how clients would look at that?!
"The fax recipient will receive a cover sheet which contains a third of a page advertisement along with sender and recipient information. Again, this ad helps to support the free fax service.
New free member services and commercial facilities will be introduced over the coming months following the successful launch of freeFAX." Source:

This
e-How article mentions Faxzero.com - that seems to work for US & Canada only though & is supported by advertising too..
http://faxzero.com/faq.php According to the e-How article, there may have been some problems with graphics too..
They also mention this website with other options, not sure how good any of them are or how reliable it is though...
http://www.savetz.com/fax/ (mostly different names of companies/services mentioned than above, or the same as under 'This page'.. - some seem cheaper than 16$ for paid services.. one seems to be 10$ a month, also depends how much you need to send/recieve, others maybe less - do the math though.. I haven't lol - too sleepy!!)
Slovenian aFax is 14 EUR for sending & accepting both in Slovenia and abroad... which is quite expensive!
Another e-How article on
international faxing: points out to a
fax comparison website - again, not sure how reliable it is, so doublecheck everything if interested..
How many incoming & outgoing pages do you guys have per month, or per year?
I know this depends, just a rough estimate maybe? just curious...
Also on some other forums some people speak of just downloading a programme or having a modem & sending stuff.. not exactly sure how that works though - do you need an extra line for it, or just your regular phone number? (VOIP phones may or may not be okay for sending regular faxes here though..)
I always hated calling people with one number for both phone & fax though.. Maybe it could be combined with a free service for receiving? (Or would it look too tacky having 2 fax numbers? hmm.. probably..?)
