I am currently using RingCentral fax the cost is good considering the good service they have provided we even upgraded to the full unified virtual communication service . It allows staff to work form home or out of the office with clients and still receive faxes on their blackberries iPhones. They offer free local fax numbers as well as toll-free numbers and vanity numbers as , you can even transfer retain your existing fax number. This has helped us lower our costs with fax lines, paper and toner. The service should be very secure but not sure of the encryption technology used. But it more confidential because faxes go straight to your inbox instead of having confidential faxes siting on the fax machine for anyone to pry.Not sure but other service but try comparing using sites likehttp://fax2emailservices.com/compare-onl��
I don t have a business but I use Onesuite Fax service. So far all faxes sent to me were received. Cost for receiving faxes is just $1 month whether you receive a single fax or a thousand faxes. If you intend to send out too, then it s $2.95/month and 2.5c per page for US numbers and 1.9c per page for Canadian numbers.Here s the website - http://www.onesuite.com/products_OneSuit��
I m using myFax.com it s around $10 a month. Not sure about local #, i think so, but i got 1800 from them. Send and receive faxes via email or their website. I get my faxes on my iphone and can fax documents back through it
I haven t used one, but several of my clients who don t have landlines have used different ones. If you have a landline already, just get a fax machine, its so much cheaper in the long run. If you are on the road a lot, don t have a landline, and get alot of faxes, it might be worth it. I run my own small business, and for years just had my faxes come through on my home phone. About 6 months ago, I got a new all in one printer, and it didn t have a fax on it. Considered getting one of the virtual fax companies, and realized that I haven t yet had a single person who was unable to send things via email, so I haven t needed it. If my business was dependent on faxes, like a printing company, I would just buy a machine and put it on my home phone again. I do graphic design and small business consulting, and when I deleted my fax number from my business cards, no one was sending faxes anyway. By eliminating the need for a fax machine, I am saving money and paper. As far as security, I do question the online providers somewhat. My husband works for a major phone company, and they do not allow people to send or recieve things on virtual faxes because they do not consider them secure modes of transmission. Check the costs versus the benefits to your specific business. If you sell cars, insurance, or something else that regularly requires faxed documents for signatures, which is better on costs for you? Purchasing a machine, or using online source?
