Faxing for free

A few days ago, I found myself in a situation where I had to send a fax within an hour.  As it was around midnight my time, I did not have the liberty of going to work or anywhere else to use a fax machine.  So what did I do?  15 minutes later I had found two web sites that allowed me to send a fax to North America for FREE.  I love free!

The first web site I tried was My Fax.  Their web site allowed me to quickly fax a one-page document that needed to be delivered urgently.  MyFax also has a 30-day free trial which could potentially be useful if you do a lot of faxing.  I only had to send one page, and it had to be quick.  Another nice thing about their free service is that they sent me a confirmation when the fax was successfully transmitted.

The second web site that I tried was FaxZero and that is exactly what I got.  I sent a fax, was sent a link to confirm sending my fax and then never received a confirmation that my fax was sent.  Their web site also seems to indicate that they are currently undergoing maintenance, but is dated 4 days ago.  Best to stay away from them.

There are many other fax web sites that will give you access to Internet faxing at a reasonable price, TrustFax being one of the ones that I would recommend.
