FAQ: How can I send a fax from the Internet?

Services for Receiving Faxes Only

The following pay services let you receive faxes, but not send them.

Kall8

Kall8 provides a toll-free U.S. telephone number. Incoming faxes can be routed from that number to your fax machine or delivered to your e-mail inbox. Voicemail is also available at no extra charge. The service is priced right for people who receive a low volume of faxes: For a $2 signup fee plus $2 per month, and 6.9 cents per minute.
