How to Send a Fax When You Don’t Have a Fax Machine

It’s 2017 and faxing is still especially a thing. As insane as it sounds, it’s straightforward why. In the event that you have private reports in your email inbox, one wrong snap could send them to the awful folks. It’s a key reason numerous monetary, land, social insurance and lawful firms still expect you to fax imperative structures.

At the point when my money related consultant demanded I fax a report half a month prior, I inquired as to whether he could likewise prescribe a decent pager. At that point I investigated my best online fax service alternatives, none of which included getting a fax line, making a toner-cartridge wreckage or tuning in to earsplitting advanced clamors.

Utilize a Fax App or Website

As opposed to utilize old fashioned copy transmission over telephone lines, fax applications and sites send your messages and reports by means of the web. After you input your favored ZIP Code, these administrations relegate you a fax number so you can send and get faxes by means of a site, portable application or even email.

They all work comparably: Input your beneficiary’s fax number and name, compose a cover sheet at that point transfer your checked report. Some even enable you to sign ideal in the application and fax a record straight back.

Among the four I looked at, I enjoyed eFax and HelloFax the best. eFax has web, iOS and Android applications, however it charges a robust month to month rate beginning at $17.

HelloFax doesn’t have a versatile application, however it offers a less difficult web interface, five free trial faxes and, for sending faxes, a compensation as-required alternative—99 pennies for faxes up to 10 pages. (On the off chance that you go more than 10, each extra page will cost 20 pennies.) If you need to get faxes, you’d need to agree to accept an arrangement beginning at $10 a month.

Utilize Someone Else’s Machine

The following choice is to find a genuine fax machine. Check whether your office has one and inquire as to whether you’re permitted to utilize it. If not, make a beeline for your nearby FedEx Office, Staples or another neighborhood shipping store.

Not all FedEx and Staples areas will charge a similar sum. At a FedEx in New York City, it cost me $1.89 to send the principal page and $1 for resulting pages to a neighborhood number. It cost $2.95 a page to send to a long-separate number. At a FedEx in New Jersey, it cost $2.49 a page to send to a long-remove number. (At those rates, the fax machine itself was presumably paid off in seven days!)

Staples in NYC was somewhat better: $1.50 per page, regardless of where in the U.S. you’re sending it.
