It’s 2011 and I still can’t find a solution geared toward customers who receive the occasional fax and almost never send one.

I’m a long time Send2Fax user who’s chewing at the bit to get away from their subscription model. So far every “free” fax solution is only free to send(within a set monthly limit) and never free to just receive.

Many companies have wizened up and will send documents back and forth via email, but there are still way too many who use the fax method. What a shame.

PS I went to eFax, Faxzero, PopFax, and a few other sites and most promoted “free fax!” but then roped you into a monthly subscription.

I started to check out some internet fax services and so far I am thinking of switching. But I would have to agree with the article for all those users who don't fax much

Online fax service is definitely the most cost effective faxing technique. Reason why it has gained huge patronages from big and small companies.

The best way to get an internet fax service is to read online reviews. You can compare the pricing plans and the included features of different online fax service providers. This is to make sure that you'll be paying for what you really been utilizing.

[...] wait, isn’t it 2009 (almost 2010?). Yes it is. An therein lies the rub. I wrote this two years ago, and the fact that most of it is still valid is quite sad. Fax technology should be [...]

Caveat on using PayPerFax. When you use their cover page, they insert “PayPerFax, Inc.” as “Tel” right under your name. It’s annoying. It’s a paid service, not a free service. They shouldn’t be using people’s faxed documents as vehicles to advertise their name.

http://www.GotFreeFax.com let user send free fax online to the US and Canada. User can either upload a PDF/Word file or enter text to your fax. Plus, it does not add Ads to the fax, which makes it more suitable for faxing formal documents. They also provide Pay-per-fax and prepaid options.

interfax.net looks great and they have a developer API(BONUS!!) It apears to be a prepaid fax service. Prepay $10 then when you use up your faxes Prepay more (outgoing)”no setup charges and no monthly subscription fees offer you the best value around.”

Popfax requires that you send exactly 10 faxes per week for it to match regular postage. Zerofax demands USD2 per fax if sending outside US, which is also quite costly or you can send for free within the US if adding a cover page with commercials. Greenfax outbound appears not so bad for smaller faxes, it’s actually cheaper than postage. But some risk that before the 25 prepaid dollars is consumed, terms have changed so you may lose most of it if you’re an occasional user. payperfax.com is a good concept, but they say the payment provider fee is what kills the price – if they have to pay 20-40ct fee per payment, it can’t compete with postage.
