eFax alternative?

eFax alternative? - 10/11/2005 22:54

I need to get a fax and I'd rather not have it sent to work since I won't be back there until Monday. I guess eFax incoming isn't free anymore (I haven't used it in years). Is there another service for free incoming faxes over the internet?

Will any of those work?

That page must be old because all the "free" ones I click are no longer free. Some are free for XX days, then $XX per month. I guess I could sign up for something like that but I'd rather not.

It's a shame I have USB fax modem right in front of me, but no POTS line to use it with. Fvcking Vonage.

Awesomely enough, Geico was able to send insurance documents as a PDF to my email address. Fax service is no longer needed. Thanks.

Hm. eFax is still free for me. I must be grandfathered...

We have a couple Callwave fax lines at the office. They used to be free, but now charge. Anyway, other than the cost, we've been quite pleased with the service. Maybe I should setup that HylaFAX box I've been meaning to setup.

Yeah, Geico is good like that. Too bad their insurance quote was higher than my currently high quote. Which isn't TOO high, but..... I have no idea WHY it's high. </hijack>

Check out progressive, they're like $100-200 below everywhere else I've checked, including when I used to be on my parents insurance (the uncalcualted costs of getting married).

The best pricing I have ever gotten has been from an independant agent that can shop many companies. I currently have allstate but last year I was using a different company through the same agent but switched after he told me now allstate was cheaper.

Wow, it must vary a lot from person to person. Geico charges me $75 less per half year than progressive quoted.

It definitely varies a lot. Geico was about half the price of everyone else including Progressive.
