Just Getting Started
It is so confusing as to which service will be the most cost-effective and provide the highest amount of reliability for my specific needs. I post here hoping for constructive feedback.
Here is what I really need from an Internet Fax Service:
1) I mostly, almost exclusively, send faxes to a single destination in the USA; receiving faxes isn't a big deal, but would be nice to have as well.
2) When I send, it is always a combination of several documents of common types (.pdf, .txt, .doc, .xls). The service I choose must support this.
3) My needs call for faxing upwards of 2000+ pages per month. (Edited on 2/2 after reassessing workload)
Are there services that cater towards these needs? Which are the best (price & performance)?
Thanks In Advance,
JavaPuppy
JavaPuppy and metarot - welcome and thanks for joining our forum.
Generally speaking, your requirements of sending around 500 pages per month of a variety of file types, such as PDF and XLS, should be easily handled by any one of the listed providers.
Whichever services you do test and decide on - please share your experience - both positive and negative - here, so that others may learn from it.
Check out the following site:
They have a price comparison page at:
IFP compared to eFax http://www.internetfaxprovider.com/ifpcompareefax.html
This page compares the cost of sending broadcast faxes between IFP and eFax. IFP offers broadcast faxing at 6 cents/page - the best rate that I've seen anywhere.
I've been looking at all these services too, also quite confused.
I like what I read at ClickFax Pro, especially the ability to print-to-fax or email-to-fax (check out this description of the email-to-fax).
This may suit your needs well. You send an email to destination-faxnumber@cfpfax.com. The body of the email is the coversheet. The attachments are converted and become the body of the fax. Here's what they say about filetypes:
Keep us informed of what you do.
