I don't have a lot of rentals, and the only time I ever fax (at all) is with landlords and employers when I have a vacancy. I used RingCentral for years but finally cancelled because their prices went way up.

Any suggestions on a reliable service that's free or low cost? I could run out to Fedex Kinko's every time I have to do this but that's a bit of a hassle. --72.188.xxx.xxx

What do you need to fax for? I've had to fax a few times to out of state buyers/sellers, but never needed to for tenants. --50.32.xxx.xxx

Are the employers/apartments sending and accepting scanned email attachments these days? I was always under the impression they that they wanted to use fax for verification, so that's what I did. --72.188.xxx.xxx

As far as I know. I've always emailed them, if I even get asked in the first place. Some places don't ask for a signed release. --50.32.xxx.xxx

The only place I have had to fax in recent years is the state or federal government. So I use a free trial for a fax service then cancel.

I used to use Myfax for years but since faxing has fallen so far off, even $10 a month is too much. PDFiller wants $19 a month (!) --50.82.xxx.xx

OK thanks to you both. I think I'm going to try going without fax this time--plan to start advertising my remodeled unit in a couple of weeks. --72.188.xxx.xxx

Magic Jack. It's under $4.00/month paid yearly - has it's own dedicated "landline" VOIP (internet) phone number.

I cut the cord and kept my landline number with Ooma - higher priced than MagicJack. They offered a 2nd number they said would work for faxing but it's not reliable. --73.215.xxx.xx

Left Ring Central for SRFax - $36 per year gets 25 pages per month. Was able to port my old ring central fax number to SRFax and thus save business cards etc. --181.215.xxx.xxx

Tony: How does that help him with his fax issue at all? In general, fax is not reliable over VOIP. You seem to even mention this in your post. So I don't see how it is a solution for him at all?

John - simple. 2 different VOIP's. One works okay, the other one doesn't. I simply offered a $4.00/m remedy that works for me. --73.215.xxx.xx

I use e-fax. it's either $56 or $59 a year. that is for receiving .

To send, I have a splitter on the phone line. since I don't use it a lot any longer, I keep the machine turned off when not in use so it doesn't affect the voice mail. --72.70.xxx.xxx

Late again

J (FL) My printer has a fax built right into it. Didn't know this until about a day ago. Its an Epson WF-2630.

Yours might have this also.

I have windows 7. I would think anything newer would have this program already on your computer

Go to Start button. On my computer the little round windows symbol in lower left corner of screen (task bar I think)

Click on start button and then go up and select "All Programs"

Scroll through the programs and find "Windows fax and scan". Click on it to start having fun.

You will have to have a phone landline.

Also google "How to fax on windows 7" (or what version you have. Lots of info.

The only people who ask for a fax these days are big dog apt. buildings that I'm asking for references from. When they ask me to fax over the signed release, I pause and then say with an incredulous tone in my voice, "Fax? I didn't think anyone still used those any more. Is there somewhere I could email it to?" There is always someone with an email address. --104.166.xx.xxx

I probably need to push them a bit on using email. In the past I've just gone along with what they've wanted, which is fax.

Mike SWMO thanks but I don't have a landline. --72.188.xxx.xxx

Tony: You're using Magic Jack for faxing (both sending and receiving) -- and it actually WORKS? If so, you are one of the lucky few.

Faxing simply does not work reliably over VOIP connections. I say this as a person that sells VOIP on a regular basis. It is simply not a good solution, IMO.

many lenders have reverted and will no longer allow e-mailing of documents containing a social security number - they require faxing. --72.70.xxx.xxx
