MyFax: The Plan I Use
Best Value
$10 · 300 Faxes

MyFax is the company I choose. It was very satisfying to call AT&T for the last time — to disconnect my phone line. Since I made the change to MyFax, I've slashed my costs, by eliminating a phone line, fax machine, paper and toner. Anyone may now fax me anytime without any worries.

At $10 a month and no set up fee, MyFax is a great value. And you may select the annual payment option during the online sign up process to receive a discount.

For just pennies a day, you can receive 200 incoming and send 100 outgoing fax pages each month. Additional faxes, including incoming toll-free pages, cost just 10¢ each and it's easy to upgrade to a larger plan if needed. MyFax offers local and toll-free fax numbers throughout the USA, Canada, England and Europe. MyFax offers 1 year of free fax storage via the Internet and allows up to 5 users per account.

MyFax integrates well with Microsoft Office and there's even a free fax plug-in for ACT! contact manager. If you own a Smart phone, you can receive faxes as PDF email attachments on it.

TPC.INT

TPC.int Review:
Send Free Faxes

The following information is taken from David Berger's book, The Cheapest Way to Make Phone Calls, Send Fax or Use the Internet (which is available free of charge for download).

The Internet Multicasting Service is a non-profit organization operating a free e-mail-to-fax service. It relies on volunteers from the U.S., Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, South Korea, New Zealand, Portugal, Sweden, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom, who maintain fax servers in their particular areas, so all phone calls to fax machines are local.

Since TPC.int relies on volunteers, the reliability is questionable; hence, you may wish to subscribe to my newsletter for an updated list of commercial Internet fax services offering free faxing.

To send a fax to someone, first create the e-mail message. Use the following address. Replace the italicized variables with the actual person's name and phone number, but keep the punctuation and underline intact

remote-printer.First_Last@13135551234.iddd.tpc.int

Note that the fax number is one continuous string of digits, and it must include the 1 and the area code, even if the fax is just being sent across town. The service automatically sends you an e-mail confirmation either stating that the fax transmission was successful or did not go through — probably because there is no local fax server in that area.

Here's a short list of areas covered by TPC: Canada and the United States (+1); Botswana (+267 total coverage); South Africa (+27); Greece (+30); The Netherlands (+31 total coverage); Bulgaria (+359); San Marino (+378 total coverage); Ukraine (+380); Yugoslavia / Serbia and Montenegro (+381 total coverage); Croatia (+385); Italy (+39); Romania (+40); United Kingdom, Isle of Manx and the Channel Islands (+44 total coverage); Sweden (+46 total coverage); Germany (+49); Honduras (+504); Nicaragua (+505 total coverage); Cuba (+53); Brazil (+55); Australia (+61); Indonesia (+62); New Zealand (+64); Singapore (+65 total coverage); Hong Kong (+852 total coverage); China (+86); Taiwan (+886); Turkey (+90); India (+91); Sri Lanka (+94 total coverage) and Lebanon (+961 total coverage).

MyFax integrates well with Microsoft Office and there's even a free fax plug-in for ACT! contact manager. If you own a Smart phone, you can receive faxes as PDF email attachments on it.
