E-faxing a document, without a fax machine
E-faxing a document, without a fax machine
I have to sign a document, and fax it. The problem is I don't have a printer or fax machine handy, and won't for some time. I'm in the middle of nowhere. My question is, how can I electronically sign a document (even if that means just typing my name), and fax it to a fax number using a free e-faxing service online?
Thx
p.s.
I don't have a scanner either

Is there anyone who would have a letter with your signature on it that could fax that to you? You could then use screen capture and Paint to save your signature as a graphic, and then insert it in the outbound document.

If you've got a 2+ megapixel camera phone, you can use scanR (http://www.scanR.com/ for details) to fax it for you...just take the picture, send it to [email protected] with the phone number you want it faxed to as the subject line.
Or if you can take a picture with a digital camera and transfer it to your laptop, you can send it to [email protected] the same way via your regular email.
disclaimer - I work for scanR
But I do this myself all the time because we gave up on our fax machine long ago.

Very good to know about scanr; i've never heard of that before, but it makes sense. Since you work for them, can you tell me why this is provided for free? You have to charge somebody for something, right?

Its the Internet man - no one needs to make money (yet).
I assume they will move to a "freemium" service at some point and charge for better features.

I don't think things have changed. Please see:

OR, try and see the new summary thread boberonicus just started:

A better solution: make a picture with a digital camera. Email it to scanR (www.scanR.com). scanR cleans up the pic, returns it to you as a PDF. Still not perfect, but lightyears better than the Docupen.
