eFax Online Faxing Service

Posted on 12. Aug, 2010 by conferencecaller in Fax Providers

Have you ever grown tired of using your old and outdated fax machine?  I am actually still surprised that these machines are used as much as they are.  With technology racing forward, the fax machine is still in the old days.  I know of many businesses that have decided to get rid of their fax machine and just deal with emails and scanners.  If you or your company is looking for a way to get rid of your fax machine, but still have the capability of faxing, then you need to check out online faxing.  One of the best services out there is eFax.  Online faxing is not new, but it is growing at a fast rate and you can take advantage of the easier faxing movement that is sweeping the world.

The eFax technology is good and allows you to upload your documents into the eFax interface, and then eFax will fax them to the numbers that you specify.  Mind you that you will need a scanner to get any documents onto your computer, but with all the printer/scanner combos out there, it will not be a very hard thing to do.  The eFax service is low cost and you can either get a new fax number or eFax can port over your existing fax number.  It only takes about 2 minutes to sign up and get a new fax number through eFax, but it will take a little longer to port over your existing number.

If you are interested in testing the online faxing service, then eFax provides you with a Free 30 Day Trial that will provide you access to their eFax Plus plan.  eFax currently has two plans to choose from, Plus and Pro.  Each has relatively the same set of features, but mainly the price per page is different.  Here are the two plans broken down.

If you want to break free from your fax machine, then check out eFax.  Sign up for their 30 Free Trial and test it out.  Depending on how many faxes you send per month, you may be able to save quite a bit of money and reduce the headache of faxing.
