A while back I posted about a couple excellent products that just work (and that I'd have a hard time living without). Continuing in that tradition, let me recommend Send2Fax.
Background
I really hate phones and phone lines. I also like keeping a digital copy of most things I fax. So an online fax service was a logical choice for me. But most SUCK. You have to do minimum monthly fees, and they just soak you. Let alone too many want you to give them your first-born just to sign up.
Send2Fax.com
Enter Send2Fax. They rule. I found them about a year and a half ago. They've worked flawlessly every time I've needed to send a fax, and today I got an email from them announcing a scheduled bit of downtime for some maintenance and upgrades. (And it hit me... I haven't given them nearly enough love.)
My buddy Carson uses them too, and he reviewed them a while back on WorkHappy - where you can see a good list of all of the particulars.
What I love about Send2Fax
Things I love about them:
- No sucky/stupid software to mess with. I upload .pdf, .jpg, etc files through a simple web interface - and it's all magically taken care of. (Incomming faxes are sent to me as .pdfs which works great with FoxIt Reader.)
- I get a toll-free fax number for others to call. The fax # is 100% mine (no sharing or anything stupid).
- They only charge me $2 month to keep my 'line' in service, and faxes are a whopping $.15/page (sent or received).
- Billing is painless,
- and as I mentioned - they're ALWAYS up and running.
After looking at their web site the cheapest price is is $12/month. I wonder if you're using an older plan that they don't offer any more.

Yeah... I must be grand-fathered in. Too bad. They still provide a great service - but the best thing about them (other than being 100% dependable) was their killer pricing...

Send2Fax was bought in January 2007 by a California company. There are problems. Be careful. Look at others, like RapidFax.

Internet faxing really is a lifesaver. You save so much money when you dont have to buy expensive thermal fax paper. I used to use send2fax however I started getting alot of problems, faxes were not going through. I recently found skax which has low rates and does not have monthly charges. so far it has worked well. the site is www.skax.net
