Send and receive faxes online for free 

Do you want to send and receive faxes online for free? Need your own fax number but your budget is holding you back? There's good news for you. There's a range of fax service providers which allow you to do all these and more online, for free.

DepositDox offers users a free phone number and account where they can receive faxes for free. The service will send you a notification when a fax arrives and stores your faxes using secure encryption. Your free account will allow you to store up to 1,000 pages of faxes and even search through them. DepositDox also provides you with a toll free fax number. You must utilise your number at least once a month or you will lose it. In the first moth, a 250 page limit applies, and after that, a document per day limit. However, you can choose to upgrade to premium plans starting from $9.99 per month which will remove these restrictions.

This takes care of your problem of receiving faxes online for free. But how about sending them?

FaxZero may have just the answer for you. Its website lets users create and send text, Microsoft Word and PDF files for free faxing, although an advertisement will be inserted on the cover page. To send faxes for free, there is a limit of a maximum of 3 pages and a maximum of 2 fax free per day. Otherwise, FaxZero will charge $1.99 per fax with no monthly subscription costs.

Other than that, users can opt for another online service provider called k7. Basically, it is a web-based unified messaging system which will send your free voicemail and send fax online for free directly to your e-mail account.

Combined together, DepositDox, FaxZero and k7 offers users a completely free online faxing solution. 

However, if you are someone who relies heavily on fax services and thus would prefer something more reliable, you'd be better off with a premium service like eFax  which offers an affordable and user-friendly faxing solution for all your business or personal needs.

With eFax, you will receive a local or toll-free fax number which is linked to your email. You'll be able to send and receive faxes as email attachments unencumbered by none of the usual fax machine problems.

What are you waiting for? Signing up for a free Efax account is quick and easy.

At the time of writing this article on send and receive faxes online for free, eFax's free service will provide subscribers with a number linked to their email address to users in one of 8 or 9 or so different countries , which users can select from. Remember to select the "free" option.  Paying subscribers will receive a more localised number from whichever country they chose, and the possibility to also send faxes, but as a free member, you can only receive faxes and other options are also more limited.
