How Do You FAX Now?

[olds]

Still have an All In One but no landline. Occasionally need to send a FAX (for some reason scan won't do) so I am not really interested in signing up for an online account. Is there a FAX module for a cell phone?

You can go to UPS store of FedEx store and pay per page. It's expensive though.

Efax.com.

Works well in Windows if you have a scanner (I have a Canon AIO without fax) and also offers a decent cell-phone app for Android ... never tried the IOS version.

I rarely need to send a fax but when I do (and am too lazy to leave the house) I sign up for a "free trial", send it then quit before getting charged. Be warned it's on the pricey side if you decide not to bail out.

Brother all in one, scan to a pdf, print to "upload fax". Prompts for the phone #.

So, it's hooked up to a landline?

You could also snag something like a Magic-Jack or other VOIP device ... most will allow faxing although they are not as reliable as a "stand-alone" connected to a landline or even Efax etc for that matter.

Nope. ATT modem. Dumped the landline for voip.

After you scan to your pc, look at the printers that you can print to. Upload fax is one of mine.

We still have a dedicate land line with a dedicate stand alone fax machine for our department and other departments have the similar setup. Don't ask me why. I am not the CEO of the company.

To the OP, if you only need to fax once or twice a year, just go to Office Depot or copy place and they will do it for you for a few bucks.

As others have said you can find a decent eFax app for your phone. My sister just used one to send a document to a mortgage company, for free. This was on Android. Only required payment if you wanted to receive faxes as well.
