Don’t try Efax get FaxPipe Instead
eFax vs. FaxPipe
Have you ever tried Efax? I have. Frustration (maybe it's my Mac?). I call customer service and it's always someone from India. We can't understand or communicate well. The instructions he gave me failed. I wasted a few hours on it!
Plus eFax sends me spam faxes almost every day.
Compare eFax with FaxPipe. I signed up, they called me to see if I needed help. It's easy to use. It's cheaper. The customer service is US-based. I haven't gotten a single spam fax because they don't send it.
FaxPipe is $8.95 a month up to send/recieve 1000 faxes. This is for a local or a toll free number. Archiving, pager alert, and other features included. You can send and recieve faxes through email. You don't need a landline or phone. You just need email. You email your document and it prints on the recipients fax machine. The person getting your fax can't tell the difference.
This is the best deal I've seen for efaxes.
Incidently I met the CEO and some of the staff today for lunch. Great guys. Call them at (888) 530-9100 and tell them Janet sent you.
After you try FaxPipe, let me know what you think. I researched it and this is the best I've found so far. The other company I tried ended up being owned by eFax.
No matter what service you choose, sign up a free trial to check it out before you commit and get the number on your business cards. I hate to admit but I use eFax to get faxes, because it's free. I'll send faxes with my VoIP line.

Stay away from efax’s free service. They give you a free number and then fill up your monthly allotment of 20 pages by selling your number to spammers. Then they force you to pay $10+/month to keep a number for incidental faxes. The pay service is a rip-off since you only get like 50 pages for a high monthly fee.

Brad, thanks for your input. I will cancel my eFax service. I needed it to tie me over until my cell phone contract expires and I get a VoIP line. I don’t want to lose my number.
In reality we shouldn’t need fax services. Just use email. If everyone had an internet connection it would make fax machines obsolete.

I am more than happy with the efax service. I did get the spam faxes as well, but I would rather have that, than give up my credit card to a service like Venali, who just sued eFax cause their can’t compete. Will check out this faxpipe.
