If you need a simple and affordable way to occasionally receive or send a fax document without a fax machine, I recommend an affordable service from maxemail.com. For the past 5 years I’ve been using the “Maxemail Lite” service plan to receive faxes for just $24 per year.
How it works: People who send me a fax simply send it to my own dedicated 815-prefix telephone number. I receive the fax as an email attachment, which I can print or just view on my computer screen. I can also send faxes by emailing an attachment to Maxemail, which they then convert and send to the recipient’s fax machine. Sending faxes on my subscribed plan is just 5-10ยข per page.
With the fax-via-email service I save time and money since I don’t need a fax machine, nor the hassles of having to be at home to turn on the fax machine every time I want to receive a fax, or the need of a dedicated phone line for a fax machine. I also save ink and paper because I don’t print unwanted faxes.
