Fax Machines are Dead
April 26th 2010 17:35
Why own a fax machine anymore?
The prices and convenience are so incredible, and using a typical fax machine is fraught with user codes, speaker buttons, and confusion. Why wait for an incoming fax to finish when you can send a fax in seconds from your desktop, laptop, or tablet anywhere you happen to be. The pricey part of any fax deal is paying for a phone number, but comparing these prices to the amount you'd pay a local phone company, it's hard to keep paying the local phone company. Check out these online fax deals:
Nextiva offers a free trial and $6.95/month for sending AND receiving faxes (500 per month). It even adds a "Fax" selection to Office software.
MetroFax is $12.95/month for 1000 pages, but there's no contract, and any pages over 1000 are just 3 cents per page.
FaxPipe has a graduated pricing plan, good for small business that don't do too much faxing. You can send/receive 25 pages per month for $3.95/mo. That's a pretty cheap price if you only fax a few pages each month, but the next plan is $6.95/mo for 75 pages, and I'm not sure how that could ever be better than Nextiva's plan.
FaxZero is another interesting site. You can't receive faxes here, but you can send one for FREE. Not a bad deal for the person sending faxes once in a while.
TrustFax.com offers a pretty good bargain, just $30 per YEAR for 50 sent and 150 received. For $4.95/mo., they offer 50 sent and 100 received (per month). They give local or toll-free fax numbers. Very competitive.
The rest of these are deals that don't look quite as good, but they're still competitve.
* Fax.com has a free trial and then charges $9.99 per month.
eFax.com charges $16.95/mo.
MyFax.com is $10/mo. for just 300 pages sent or received.
RapidFax.com is $9.95/mo. for just 300 pages sent or received.
