I use Metrofax. When I was switching offices and decided to go with an efax, I studied all the options (including the actual eFax brand) and found Metrofax makes the most sense. They give you a pool of 1000 pages a month, in or out (a lot of efax companies screw you on outbounds) for $12.95. They also give the second month automatically free. It has worked incredibly well for nearly a year now, and their customer service on the 3 calls I have had to make (set up, the only slow down I've seen and getting info about international faxing) was exemplary. Only had one day where my faxes were going out slowly (about an hour delay), and it was fixed within 6 hours or so.

I have used Maxemail with no problems. This one is only available with a Chicago number, but would appear to be the cheapest & most reliable out there. $24 per year and easy to use worldwide to send, additional fees per page for international. https://www.maxemail.com/max/lite.html Even if you are outside of the US, if you think about it, does it really matter if you have a US number? How many times a year are you really going to receive a fax?

Good luck.

I'm coming up on my eFax renewal and I'd like to move to something else that's not >$100/yr.

I receive 3-5 pages a month and also need to send 5-10 pages/month (e.g., faxing boarding passes when at a hotel, etc.).

Ideas?

I wish they would kill fax as a technology, and replace it with a digitial solution that uses secure PDFs / JPGs. I send/receive faxes about 3-4 times per year, and it's a pain sometimes to figure out how to do it, especially as we get rid of landlines and modems in laptops.

Here's a good site to compare internet fax solutions: http://www.faxcompare.com/

These fax services must be a gold mine....

My eFax was to autobill the $139 annual fee on 6/25.

I went to the eFax site and engaged the online chat and told the CSR I wanted to cancel. In a few moments he came back and said "his manager had authorized" a "special" $50 annual fee instead!

Heh, I got the same "special offer" when I called to cancel.

Anybody else have experience with RingCentral? I'm leaning toward them because (a) they're half the price of eFax and (b) eFax's number porting page says they can't port our number and they don't offer any numbers in our area code, whereas RingCentral offers local numbers in our area and may be able to port our existing number. But I'd love to hear more about folks' experience with RingCentral before getting into a number porting morass.

Here are some other ideas for cheap/free faxing.

Depdning on what kind of faxes you send, www.faxzero.com might do the trick for sending.

Then you can just use a free eFax account for incoming.

Looks like that would work very nicely for most boarding pass faxing-to-self-at-the-hotel situations. Thanks.

I've used faxzero to fax airlines since it's easier than moving my all-in-one over by my vonage.

Stay away from free online faxing service because you hardly get customer support. Moreover, it lacks features and it is ad-driven. If you want to utilize your business with faxing service then most office phone system in the market has this added as a feature.

Onesuite fax service is worth checking out.

Their incoming service is only $1/month without any limits on the amount you can receive and you can choose local number within your area.

The sending and receiving service is @ $2.95/month still with unlimited incoming fax and sending out is pay as you go @ 2.5c per page to US numbers and 1.9c to Candian numbers. Different rates for different countries but mostly 3c or below.

Any recent input on this e fax subject? I'm looking to do very little faxing. Just reading thru this threads recommendations now.

I've been using MYFax since April or May for my business. My cost has been $10 a month and the service has been very dependable/
