Virtual FAX services

2017 and we still need faxes! I have had a fax service for 6 years and have just entered the seventh. For the last 6 years I have paid $60 per year for a service that I have used perhaps twice a year.  I always gave in for ease and the fact I had a physical number, but when you looking at the cost per fax it is exorbitant.

Today I received an email that stated my service cost was rising to $160 and they billed me on the same day.... umm no! Not in this lifetime can I justify this!

So, after that preamble. What do you have and use, and what can anyone recommend for me?

I would like to keep the number (biz cards etc...) but I am not stuck to it. What is not stupidly expensive for 2-3 faxes a year with hopefully a ported number?

  • Fedex fax services as needed?
  • Start a new service? (online search shows range from $4.95 excl tax (so $80pa!) to $15+pm.)  
  • Buy a fax card or machine and add that to my telephone line?
  • anything else?

Thanks,

Ditch it. And laugh at people that ask what your fax number is. There is 0 reason anyone should ever fax

I don't even allow printers in my office. The only time I ever deal in paper is when I close and my mobile notary comes to have me put ink on trees.
